Bushwalk Australia

I have no affiliation with this site, and have never used them, but they sure have some useful kids gear. I've never been able to find gaiters for kids without bug-off, and sure enough, there they are. I've had to modify small adult gailters, with limited success. Lots of other good stuff that I've not been able to find in Tassie on there too.

Nice find... thanks! I'll have to check it our properly later, but it looks interesting for those of use with young trekkers.

That is a good find. The only place I have found anything useful in Tassie for kids stuff (especially for under 2yo) was Anaconda. As much as I think they suck, for little kids thermals and rainwear, they were good.

We'd heard similar things about Anaconda but couldn't find a back pack there small enough for our 3 year old. The only place that we were able to find one small enough in the end was Kathmandu. And for all of $11, I think it was:



(Sorry... just another excuse to post a kid photo).

WE got the next bigger size Kathmandu pack for our strapping 5yo girl Nik, and a 12 litre Tatonka daypack with a frame as well. I'm thinking of getting her that Deuter pack for kids, as it fits down to 10 inch backs, which is what she currently has.

Excellent find, thanks very much !

Wow you need to move quick when this forum recommends something! I've been looking for kids gaiters forever and these red and black ones on the site look great - but are now temporarily out of stock - who bought them all??
