Paddy Pallin

Welcome to Paddy Pallin, a renowned clothing store and establishment located at 849 Hay Street in Perth, Australia. As a point of interest and store, Paddy Pallin offers a wide range of high-quality products for outdoor enthusiasts, adventurers, and travelers alike.

With a rich history dating back to nearly a century ago, Paddy Pallin was founded by a young bushwalker who was unsatisfied with the limited and heavy equipment available for his expeditions. Determined to make a difference, he designed and crafted his own lightweight and functional gear. Word quickly spread about the superior quality of Paddy Pallin's products, and demand grew among fellow bushwalkers.

In response to the increasing demand, Paddy Pallin opened its first store in Sydney in the early 1930s. To cater to the entire Australian market and the growing need for their products, the company appointed agents in each state and offered a convenient mail-order service.

The backpacking travel boom in the 1960s introduced an entirely new market, which surpassed the early Australian wilderness travel market. To meet this demand, Paddy Pallin expanded its operations and opened more stores across the country.

Throughout its history, Paddy Pallin has remained dedicated to providing bushwalkers, trekkers, and travelers with the highest quality and most advanced products. In addition to their own Pallin clothing and Paddy Pallin equipment labels, they also source a wide range of equipment from leading manufacturers worldwide.

In the mid-1980s, Paddy Pallin further diversified its offerings by introducing a line of Adventure Travel Clothing. This innovative range was the first of its kind in Australia, offering durable, reliable, lightweight, and easy-care specialist clothing. Paddy Pallin continues to set the market standard with its evolving product range.

At Paddy Pallin, we also 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.

Visit Paddy Pallin today to experience the exceptional quality, functionality, and innovation that has made us a trusted name in the outdoor industry for nearly a century.
