Gear Bags That Go the Distance
Whether you’re heading out for a weekend away, packing up riding or camping gear, or just need tough everyday storage, gear bags are a versatile essential for Aussies on the move. From tried-and-true performance brands to handmade Aussie canvas builds, Allingtons have gear bags that blend durability with practical design. These bags aren’t just carriers - they’re built to withstand rough conditions, keep your kit organised, and look good doing it.
Where Gear Bags Came From
Gear bags started life as simple utility duffels, designed to haul clothing, tools and equipment for workers, travellers and sportspeople. Over time they’ve evolved into purpose-built bags. Some have reinforced bases, heavy-duty zips and smart compartments, and some even have wheels. In Australia’s harsh conditions - dust, heat and long distances - reliable gear bags from Allingtons have became a staple for country people.
