Blue Shadow

Blue Shadow is a small New Zealand business based on the West Coast of the South Island, designing and making equipment for mountain and underground adventures. Its approach is captured in the phrase “Designed in the hills, tested in the mountains, made in Aotearoa,” reflecting a focus on locally made gear for outdoor use.

The range includes alpine climbing backpacks, ski and snowboard packs, cave packs in 40-litre and 50-litre sizes, and rope tow ski and snowboard harnesses. Blue Shadow also produces webbing products for outdoor industries and recreation. The company is developing equipment intended to support activities such as climbing high mountains, skiing challenging lines, and exploring caves and canyons.

Alongside its products, Blue Shadow offers repairs for well-used outdoor equipment, helping customers keep much-loved gear in service. The business invites people to get in touch to discuss how it may be able to help. Its website also points visitors to Facebook for updates and further information.
