Welcome to Lab-Gear: workshop
We've been designing and making bespoke gear for urban and bike life in Sydney, Australia since 2001.
Our mission is to create gear from the finest materials available such as Australian grown and produced Superfine Merino, Swiss made zippers and German spun threads.
We aim to make gear you'll love, not just 'buy'.
Did you know?
Being made 100% in Australia, Lab-Gear is exempt from import duties to New Zealand. That means no hidden surprises when your order arrives.
