How does it work?

Simple, Flexible, and Reliable

At Gearshop Hire, we make renting outdoor gear easy and stress-free — so you can focus on the adventure ahead.

✔️ Book your gear online for the dates you need — and that’s all you pay for! Whether it's a weekend escape or a week-long mission, you only pay for your actual hire dates, not for any time the gear spends in transit.

✔️ Pay securely when you book, including a fully refundable $50 security bond*. This bond is simply there to help us keep our gear in top condition for you and the next adventurer. Once your gear is returned in good shape, we’ll refund your bond straight away — no stress.

Two Easy Options for Pickup or Delivery

1. Pick up and drop off in-store (Nelson):
If you're local or passing through, you’re welcome to collect and return your gear directly from our Nelson store — and meet our friendly team of outdoor specialists while you’re at it!

2. Nationwide courier delivery and return:
No matter where you are in New Zealand, we’ll courier your gear out to you ahead of time, so you have everything before your hire period starts. Please note that when using the courier option, there is a minimum of 3 days from ordering to the start of your hire to allow for processing and delivery. 

When you’re done, just pack it back up using the pre-paid return courier ticket we provide, and call the courier for an easy pickup — simple as that!

✔️ You only pay for the days you’re using the gear — not for any days it's in transit.

A VERSATILE PACK FOR FAST, LIGHT ADVENTURES

This 28–30 L lightweight pack is ideal for moving efficiently on the trail or in the backcountry. Designed to balance comfort, stability, and low weight, it suits day hikes, fast-packing, and minimalist overnight trips where freedom of movement matters.

The pack uses a close-to-body carry with running-vest-style shoulder straps to distribute weight comfortably across the chest, shoulders, and back. Breathable materials and airflow-focused back panels help manage heat and moisture during active use, while smart external storage keeps essentials close at hand.

With a streamlined main compartment and flexible closure system, the pack can adapt to varying loads. Stretch mesh pockets and compression features provide quick access to frequently used items and help keep gear stable over uneven terrain.

Typical features may include

  • Lightweight, close-fitting design for active movement

  • Vest-style shoulder straps with dual sternum adjustment

  • Breathable back panel and shoulder materials

  • Top-loading or roll-top main compartment with expandable capacity

  • External stretch mesh pockets for quick-access items

  • Side or front compression to stabilise loads

  • Removable or adjustable waist/hip support

  • Internal sleeve suitable for a hydration reservoir

Typical specifications

  • Capacity: approx. 28–30 L

Delivery - This product will be carefully prepared and shipped to you via courier within a minimum of 3 working days. We will aim to get your gear to you prior to the rental start date.

Return - At the end of your hire period, the product must be repacked securely in its original packaging and handed back to the courier on the final day. This ensures a smooth return process and keeps the product in great condition for future hires.

You can still book gear for hire over public holidays — but please note, our stores are closed on those days. Allow extra time for delivery. Our standard estimate of 3 days means 3 working days, so weekends and public holidays may delay things. If your booking falls near a holiday or weekend, or you're unsure about timing, please get in touch. We’re happy to help make sure everything arrives when you need it — no surprises.

Cancellations - Cancelled bookings may incur a fee. Please see our Terms.

  • Fully booked? If the item you need isn't available - please contact us on hire@gearshop.co.nz in case we're able to bring in more gear from our warehouse.
