REVIEWS
Quality strong/sturdy product made locally by a very experienced operator. Very happy with my Outware Logroll and will recommend to anyone with a woodfire.
A very practical product with thoughtful practicality in mind and robust quality.......perfect.
This deck paddle bag has worked well for me on my sea kayak. It protects both my spare paddle and the kayak surface from scratching and keeps the paddle secure from being washed off the deck in breaking waves. It’s extremely well made and a durable product. Very happy with how it works for me.
As a frame builder, I put a lot of thought into what goes on my bikes. For me the Burrito Grande doesn't rate a second thought, it's simply obvious. The bag exudes Outware's ethos - 'simple, stylish, durable' and the oversized bar bag delivers that in spades. Chapeau Outware.
Thank you so much for my custom Duffle Bag. I am so happy with the colour combination. The Port n Starboard (Red/Green) ends are a real hit with the boating mates. Love the 2 small zip bags. Great storage option for the small items that get lost in a big bag.
Outware were great to deal with. They were willing to adjust the dimensions of the satchel to suit my device perfectly. The satchel design is minimal but effectively protects my laptop without bulk and complexity. Also appreciate the opportunity to purchase something locally made and priced very fairly.
Brilliant. Got this bag for the gym so I can take my work clothes and shoes with me for changing. It’s roomy, sturdy, looks great, functional, and 2 side pockets (one with zip) for keys, gym fob, phone etc. I also used this as carry on for a recent flight for my overnight clothes so it’s quite multi-purpose. 10/10 for design and looks.
This is a great little bag, easy to wear, holds a lot. So versatile and hard wearing. It has been a really good buy.
Makes carrying the wood so much easier and safer. Highly recommended.
Great service from Outware. I travel a lot for kayak racing and training and the Storm Bay Duffle is an excellent piece of kit.
Simply brilliant. Has made carrying firewood so much easier and cleaner. High quality Tassie made product, delivered super fast.
This bag is great - it is beautifully made, tough, durable and best of all looks really good. I was amazed at how much it could carry and it allowed me to travel "carry on only" for a 10 day trip to NZ. I believe I will get lots of fabulous use from this bag for many years to come.
A few friends and I purchased one of these beautiful bags as a very special gift 30th birthday present for a friend with a large family of beach-loving kids. They were delighted with it, as not only does it have enough room for togs and towels, but drinks, snacks and even a beach ball! A durable, well made bag that will be useful well into the future. Highly recommended.
The first Outware product I got my lucky hands on a couple years back now! Great design, tough and super easy to use. Perfection.
Very pleased with this log roll, very sturdy and the customer service was awesome - well done on a great product. Cheers!
The spare paddle bag is made of a durable but flexible mesh that protects my spare paddle and my boat. Solid connection to boat but easy to remove to access gear. I am really happy with my spare paddle bag and I have no doubt I’ll be using it for many many years.
I love it. Brilliant idea, I’ll be recommending to friends and family.
The Inspirator's Pen Roll is beautifully made and has made its way into my daily kit. It is both durable and reliable. I confidently use it to store my fine drawing and writing equipment. Overall, I couldn't be happier and I highly recommend this pen roll for its excellent design and craftsmanship.
A great bag for everyday. I use it as my work bag - fits a lap top, my lunch, folders etc… plus it looks A+
I received my first tote as a gift and absolutely love it, great design, durable fabric and fun to carry. I ordered 3 more Salamanca totes with side trim for holiday gifts. David was wonderful with prompt personal communication and excellent in shipping them to the US. Thank you.
Sturdy, ideal size & Tassie made - the perfect washbag for traveling. Loved all the colour options too...
Great product. Delivered fast and quality is excellent. Durable enough for a tradies laptop!
Have to admit I don’t use this bag for kayaking! But it gets so much use for day trips, camp packing, fishing and wet day cycle commuting (with a quick top up shop on the way home). As always with Outware this bag is the height of function and durability with beauty thrown in. I call it the “Tardis” for its ability to absorb lots of stuff 🤣
Excellent paddle bag. Simple and well built. I use mine frequently to protect a Werner Cyprus 215cm. The side strap is long enough so that you can sling your precious paddle across your back and keep your hands free for carrying a tub or duffle of gear, or pushing a wheelbarrow.
Beautifully designed and crafted. Very unique, stylish and practical. I purchased this cool looking over the shoulder bag for commuting to the office to carry things such as laptop, paperwork, jumper and water bottle. It would be very practical for non work related activities as well.
This bag will outlast religion. For a bloke it’s super handy to have the little internal pocket to stash keys, wallet and phone. Works a treat in Aldi as you can quickly load heaps into that giant maw. It also doubles up as my helmet, bike shoes and glove bag on mtb trips away. Handy dandy.
I've got a thing for Made In Australia (Made in Tasmania more so). Nothing against the rest of the world but it's nice to recognise local excellence. Super happy with this cool well made Tote. It's clearly tough and durable. And it's made with care and precision. Finally, it's priced properly. Keep up the good work Outware.
Great Aussie made product, easy to deal with and prompt delivery. No more stringy bark - dropping bark all through the house...
Great bag for those items that you need to access easily but may not fit in your PFD (phone, radio, GPS, small bag of nibbles). It looks great and being low profile it doesn't interfere with the other items that you may have on the deck (sail etc). Velcro closure seals nicely and being mesh it drains well.
A great bag! It holds heaps of stuff, eg sunnies, sunscreen, phone etc on my Postie motorbike.
Another well designed bit of gear from Outware. I’ve had mine for a year and never comes off my boat. Well put together and hard wearing, I use it for on water essentials that don’t fit in my pfd. The Velcro seal is solid and I love how it is slim when empty but can fit objects as large as my 1L water bottle.
I bought two of these and they are very good and I highly recommend them.
The log roll is perfect for my needs. It makes bringing wood inside so much easier. It is strong and well made. Excellent service and delivery too. I recommend this product.
I love my Junee bag and it's gorgeous lining! The perfect size for everyday, it easily holds all the necessary items!
The bag is an Xmas gift for a relative living overseas, so will be a great reminder of home for her. It was difficult choosing between all the beautiful colours and patterns but the Native Blue lining won me over. Thank you for making such functional and attractive products.
Love them. Sturdy. Stylish. Roomy I got two. One was made bespoke for me with small inside pockets - which is perfect. One is big enough for a week - I got the second for longer holidays when you have to take liquids like shower gel etc You will not be disappointed - they look awesome
I've packed my roll with wide and skinny brushes, on both top and bottom layers, I love how secure the sturdy sewing holds things ever so firmly. I love the tough protection of the roll and tie. A bundle of sticks is stronger than a lone stick, this roll contains and adds guardian protection to the bundle. Thankyou Outware.
Well made resilient tote, an excellent size for cabin luggage and an overnight trip. Beautiful colours have not faded in about 2 years. I bought the medium size strap which is too big for day to day use for me...I'm a shorter woman.. but it has come into its own for travel. Just about to be stowed again!
I loved my Salamanca Shopping Tote so much that I bought a second, and then a third to give to my daughter. They are sturdy, hold a heap of groceries and they look good. I've had lots of compliments at the check out because they are so easy to pack. A really strong, handy and purposeful tote.
Obsessed! This bag has travelled far beyond the farmers market, it is the perfect tote for picnics, shopping expeditions, carting booze around and even transporting your puppy. Love it so much, sturdy, cavernous, and bottomless. Will be grabbing a couple more for gifts.
Great bag and of high quality. I use it as my “everything bag” and has outlasted any other kind of tote.
Great aid to keeping multiple bits secure and easily accessibile when working. Bending and leaning over no problem, everything stays secure and comfortable and easy to get at. Great in the garden, i must remember to wear it on community weeding days too. And on drawing expeditions... sturdy, comfortable, practical.
Some bags are better than others. This is one of those. It’s just fabulous, it fits my sandals, my hopes and dreams plus the other essential sh#t you need on a ride anywhere or for however long. An added bonus is that you can ask the good sewist at Outware to customise to whatever you want. Nothing is too much trouble for Outware.
There are Totes and there are Totes. This one came on time (sorry for the rush but needed a quality gift presto pronto). It looks amazing and more importantly feels amazing; it really is a quality product. I'm sure the Made in Tasmania label will draw some attention and be carried with pride.
I have purchased this bag as a gift for a family member and was delighted with the quality, workmanship and attention to detail. A beautiful, durable everyday bag with the bonus that you can customise it to suit your taste with ease. You can't go wrong if you purchase an Outware product. Extremely well priced for high quality Tasmanian-made, delivered to your door.
The Burrito Bag is exceptional quality. I bought it for my son who regularly rides bike tracks in the Illawarra with a baby on the back. He uses the bag for sun cream, house keys, baby soothers, sunglasses and wallets. You get what you pay for, an essential biking accessory.
After using my Log Roll, I can say it is well made and does all I have expected of it, plus Outware are extremely helpful. Highly recommended!
Exactly what I wanted. Sturdy quality products. The strongest Velcro I've experienced.
I need a bag to carry my diabetic supplies 24/7. I have used many bags over the years. My Junee bag is just next level. Quality, style, comfort and Tassie made. It has the room I need, without the unnecessary bulk. A great keepsake from my trip to Tasmania. It will be with me for a long time.
Ive used this bag for close to 2 years now and it's still like new. Lumping wet gear, food, camp gear, and lotsa time in the sun and salt water etc. Still rock solid. Because it's super strong the uses for this bag magnify. Even storing cold drinks on trips. Outware gear is functional and made to out last me!
Great quality and perfect size for daily travel. Ive been able to fit a hat, glasses, headphones and more in while still feeling compact and comfortable. A little on the higher end for price but the quality reflects that. Very happy and expect to be using for some time to come. Thanks Outware!
Love Outware gear. This saddle roll will outlast me. Love the classic style too.
This is my go to, day to day use tote. Love the bling factor. This tote is super tough and extremely practical. I don’t need to be precious with it, and the canvas easily wipes clean. Volume enough to carry gear for an overnight staycation or a quick essentials shop on the ride home!
Outware's log roll has made my daily wood fetch to our wood heater an easy, efficient, cleaner, quicker, tidier job, a pleasure to perform. Ergonomic, can carry over shoulder, in elbow or in hand. Sturdy and durable, still looks new after a long winter of daily use.
Excellent quality and fantastic customer service ! Highly recommended
I am loving my Coles Bay Duffle! It holds all my swimming gear comfortably - fins, kick-board, pull buoy, paddles and bands. The mesh outer means all my gear dries well between sessions. It’s easy to transport with the option of handles or a shoulder strap and feels very sturdy and strong like it will last forever. I highly recommend this duffle for any water based sports.
A beautifully crafted bag. Love the interior lining, which often receives comment.
Life is too short to keep carrying gear inside your kayak in tattered shopping bags. This Expedition Bag is clearly designed by someone in the know. Fits perfectly, super strong and durable. It's functional, well made and versatile. That's all I ask for. Bonus for looking great too.
