Paddy Pallin
About the Business
Welcome to Paddy Pallin, a renowned clothing store and establishment located at 120 Wickham Street in Fortitude Valley, Australia. As a point of interest and store, we offer a wide range of high-quality products for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers.
Our institution has a rich history that dates back nearly a century. It all began when a passionate bushwalker felt unsatisfied with the limited and heavy equipment available. Determined to find a solution, he designed and crafted his own lightweight and functional gear. Word quickly spread about the exceptional quality of Paddy Pallin's equipment, and soon fellow bushwalkers were eager to get their hands on his designs.
The demand for Paddy Pallin's specialist equipment, including rucksacks, tents, and sleeping bags, led to the opening of our first store in Sydney during the early 1930s. To cater to the growing demand across Australia, Paddy Pallin appointed agents in each state and introduced a mail-order service.
In the 1960s, the backpacking travel boom created a whole new market, surpassing the early Australian wilderness travel market. Paddy's responded by opening more stores to meet this demand and expand their reach.
Throughout our journey, Paddy Pallin has always focused on providing bushwalkers, trekkers, and travelers with the highest quality and most advanced products. We not only offer items from our own Pallin clothing and Paddy Pallin equipment labels but also source a diverse range of equipment from leading manufacturers worldwide.
In the mid-1980s, Paddy Pallin further expanded its offerings by launching a line of Adventure Travel Clothing. This marked the first time that durable, reliable, lightweight, and easy-care specialist clothing was made available to the Australian market. Our evolving product range continues to set the standard in the industry.
At Paddy Pallin, we acknowledge and respect the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the custodians of the lands on which we live, work, and play. We pay our respects to the Elders, both past and present.
Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or just starting your outdoor journey, Paddy Pallin is your go-to destination for top-notch gear and apparel. Visit us today and experience the legacy of quality and innovation that defines Paddy Pallin.

Reviews
"Have always found the staff friendly and helpful. Good range of equipment and often great specials. The paddy club membership makes things generally a pretty good deal. Had an issue with a Garmin watch which paddy had sold us, took some time but in the end they got us a refund for the defective watch and we were in business again. Happy with the service and support every time I go in there."
"I visited the store recently to be fitted for a pack. Demelza helped me make my choice and I was very impressed with the depth of her knowledge and her passion for the product. She not only adjusted and adjusted the pack until it fit me like a second skin, but she showed me ALL of its bells and whistles! I was there for the members’ sale, there was an issue with my account and although the store was super busy, Sean and Demelza stayed on it until it was sorted, and they did so patiently and efficiently. Sean then gave me some useful tips for the tent I also bought that day. But that’s not all! I ordered an out of stock bike waist pack which I hoped would arrive by the following weekend. I called the store on Monday and Tom tracked down my order and promised to do his best to get it to me in the week. The waist pack arrived on Wednesday!! I’m so impressed with the in-store and follow up service I received by these three stars of the Brisbane team. I got what I paid for, top quality gear and service to match. Even though it is 200km from my home, I will be back to this store, for sure … worth the trip for service like this!"
"I was served by Gen on Saturday morning and she was absolutely amazing in helping my purchase of a sleeping mat! I asked many questions about the mats and her personal experience, despite her mentioning that she had just returned from time off, she was very knowledgeable and happy to share. Fantastic service, she is an absolute asset!"
"We are transitioning from camping to hiking so really don’t have much idea about what we need for the treks we have planned over the next 12mths. Enter Elliot. Elliot, you were fantastic mate. Elliot’s passion for hiking was infectious, just what we needed to supercharge our own enthusiasm for new adventures. Elliot spent I reckon about 1.5 hrs with my wife, daughter & I unpacking all that we needed to attack out treks. No pressure, no sales tactics, just genuine advice. Kudos to you, Elliot. We will be back to spend."
"Very disappointed . I purchased my hiking boots here three years ago and the guy serving me was great. Walked into the store yesterday and completely ignored for over seven minutes while two assistants didn’t even look up from their computers . One other assistant was helping someone at the counter , but the rule of thumb in retail is , acknowledge the shopper in the store before the computer . Went just a few stores down , greeted immediately and asked did we need assistance ."
