Testimonials
Marcus and Mitch presented to our students and parents at a recent information evening building up to our Year 9 multi-day hikes. They were very professional and clearly knew both their business and the equipment and clothing they can source. Parent feedback was very positive. Parents said they found the process of ordering easy and hassle-free, whilst confident they were also getting high quality products at the best price. As the program coordinator, I am now no longer receiving numerous emails requesting which sleeping bag to buy or where the best place to buy hiking boots is.

St Joseph’s College Geelong
General CampingThanks so much for your support in 2019. The students really appreciated the access to you and the deals you offered them! As did we at GOTAFE, the second life gear that you supplied to use was put to excellent use. The students all used it to make equipment to help them out on the bike packing trip that they completed in October.
GOTAFE
General CampingI have now been purchasing gear from Offtrack for three years. Mitch and the team have been fantastic to deal with and the gear they have provided my school and program has been of the highest quality. Initially when this relationship started Offtrack were happy to come in and meet with me personally to give me the chance to assess the equipment for myself. I also explained to them that I was working with another very well-known provider of outdoor ed gear and that I was going to make a comparison between the two. At no stage did I feel uncomfortably pressured into buying anything. When I did eventually confirm the purchase, the goods arrived promptly and without hassle. They were also considerably cheaper than their competitors. I intend to continue purchasing equipment for our school fleet with Offtrack.

What’s the minimum spend?
All rentals require a minimum booking value of $1,000. This makes it ideal for school groups, outdoor educators, or multi-day trips where you’re hiring a full setup – such as tents, sleeping systems, packs, and safety gear. If you're a solo traveller or just after a few items, consider teaming up with friends or hiring everything you need in one go to get the most value from your booking.
How do I return gear?
Returning your gear is simple. Each rental comes with clear return instructions and any packaging needed for safe transit. Depending on your location, you can either drop the gear back to us or arrange a courier pickup. We’ll help you organise the return process so it’s as smooth and stress-free as your adventure should be.
What if something’s damaged?
We get it – outdoor gear is meant to be used. General wear and tear is expected and won’t be penalised. However, significant damage, misuse, or missing items may incur a repair or replacement fee. We encourage you to treat the gear as if it were your own, and if something goes wrong, just let us know – we’re here to help, not to catch you out.
Can I rent just one item?
Yes, you can, but the $1,000 minimum hire still applies. If you’re only after a single tent or sleeping bag, we recommend bundling it with other essentials or coordinating your hire with mates, school groups or travel partners. It’s a great way to maximise the value and access professional-grade equipment without the ownership costs.
