CrossFire (AUST) P/L is a family owned firm based in the NSW town of Braidwood. Though we live an hour’s drive from the big city of Canberra our business reaches worldwide. Friends and associates from Vietnam to the USA provide R&D, material supplies and manufacturing capacity to CrossFire specifications. We can call upon world class expertise to help us field a new project or respond to user feedback to refine current production.

We started in the Mountaineering / XC ski / rafting trade a long time ago. If the gear failed, the climber or kayaker may well not come home, so we became accustomed to designing to the highest standards. It became a habit. Mediocrity is easy to find in today’s over supplied markets, we feel more comfortable spending a few extra dollars to deliver the best in performance and lifetime value.

In 1987-8 the proprietor had the privilege of giving a little support to the Australian Army Alpine Association’s Bicentennial Everest Expedition. On talking gear with the troops on the climbing and support groups, it was a surprise to discover that Military field kit and clothing was vastly inferior to its civilian equivalents.

So we started making military kit and clothing in DPCU, Black, Coyote and now Multicam. We’ve been busy ever since.
