Paddy Pallin

Welcome to Paddy Pallin, located at 6 Lonsdale Street in Braddon, Australia. Our institution is a renowned clothing store and a must-visit point of interest for outdoor enthusiasts. With a rich history dating back almost a century, Paddy Pallin has been providing high-quality equipment and clothing for bushwalkers, trekkers, and travelers.

Our story began when a young bushwalker felt dissatisfied with the limited and heavy equipment available in the market. Determined to make a change, he started designing and making his own lightweight and functional gear. Soon, word spread about the exceptional quality of Paddy Pallin's products, and demand soared among fellow bushwalkers.

To meet the increasing demand, Paddy Pallin opened its first store in Sydney in the early 1930s. As the popularity of their specialist equipment grew, Paddy Pallin appointed agents in each state and introduced a convenient mail-order service to cater to the entire Australian market.

In the 1960s, the backpacking travel boom created a whole new market for Paddy Pallin. To accommodate this surge in demand, more stores were opened across Australia. Paddy Pallin became synonymous with providing the highest quality and most advanced products, not only from their own labels but also by sourcing from leading manufacturers worldwide.

In the mid-1980s, Paddy Pallin expanded their offerings by launching a line of Adventure Travel Clothing. This groundbreaking range provided durable, reliable, lightweight, and easy-care clothing options for the Australian market. Since then, Paddy Pallin has continued to set the standard in the industry with an evolving product range that caters to the needs of outdoor adventurers.

At Paddy Pallin, we also recognize and acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the custodians of the lands where we live, work, and play. We pay our respects to Elders, both past and present.

Whether you're an experienced bushwalker, a passionate trekker, or a curious traveler, Paddy Pallin is your go-to destination for top-notch outdoor clothing and equipment. Join us at our store in Braddon or explore our online store to discover the best gear to enhance your outdoor adventures.
