Built for the Wild | Hunting and Outdoor Gear NZ
Tested by the Wild. Trusted by Hunters.
At Raptor Outfitters, we don’t just sell gear—we field test every piece. From knives and wool to packs and field curiosities, everything here earns its place. We’ve pulled together our favourite finds below.
Browse by category to get kitted up right—and don’t be surprised if your next favourite item is waiting just down the trail.
Our menswear isn’t made to fit a runway — it’s cut for real-world wear. Tough-wearing wool, weathered canvas, and details that matter in the field. Whether it’s a weekend in the bush or a lifetime of hard use, this is gear that shows up ready.
We don’t believe in shrink-it-and-pink-it. Our women’s gear is chosen for the real outdoors: warm, functional, and built with tradition in mind. For gathering firewood, wrangling dogs, or just breathing deep under a big sky — this is clothing to trust.
KNIVES
From fire prep to field dressing, your knife is more than a tool—it’s a partner. We stock blades we’d trust in the bush, on the farm, or passed down in a tackle box. Carbon steel that holds a razor edge and develops a story-telling patina, these knives are built for real use. No gimmicks. Just proven steel, done right.
There’s a reason wool has been trusted in the field for centuries. It stays warm when wet, doesn’t stink, and holds up to real wear. We choose pieces made from heavy-duty wool and traditional blends that balance comfort, durability, and quiet movement in the bush.
No flash. No fast fashion. Just time-tested layers that pull their weight when it matters.
We’re building a collection of packs that do more than just hold gear—they earn their place on your back. From alpine frames to stripped-back day carriers, we’re steadily bringing in kit designed for real load-bearing work and rough terrain.
It’s early days, but every addition is chosen for its durability, comfort, and old-school practicality.
Field Curiosities
Not everything in your kit needs to earn its keep through weight or warmth. Some things just make the bush feel like home.
This is the corner of the store for odd bits—compasses that feel like they’ve seen wars, brass tools, waxed canvas notebooks, signal mirrors, old-world sharpeners, and things you didn’t know you needed… until you did.
Like a tin of Scho-Ka-Kola—half caffeine, half chocolate, fully dangerous when shared around camp at midnight.
We don’t have much yet, but more is coming. Slowly and steadily, we’re curating the good stuff—pieces that add charm, function, and a little mystery to your loadout.
