Kathmandu

Rotorua, NZ, outdoor stores - Kathmandu

Kathmandu have a large store in Rotorua and they carry everything related to camping and hiking. Tents, cooking equipment, lifestyle equipment and I'm sure I've seen little toilets in there.

As a brand name in Australia and New Zealand, Kathmandu carry their own range of clothing designed with the cold in mind.

One thing I will say about them is that they are quite expensive. We usually wait until they have specials when items are knocked down by 50% or more before we stock up on basic goodies.

NZO Active Wear

Mountain biker, meet NZO. You can always tell a good brand when it attracts raving fans. That's what this small, Rotorua based, mountain bike clothing company does. It's probably got something to do with the owners, mad keen bikers themselves. Sign up for the newsletter and tell me it doesn't come across.

Designed by bikers for bikers, the clothing works. The shorts are durable, comfortable and they look pretty cool too. There's a whole range of tops, hoodies, t-shirts and some bike accessories as well.
