Stealth Adventure Equipment is a small workshop making bikepacking bags by hand in Wellington. The bags are made at the Porirua-area workshop address at 83/12 Mohuia Crescent in Elsdon, and the business was founded in 2014 by Michael Trudgen. It makes custom frame bags, handlebar rolls, seat bags and panniers for mountain, gravel and road bikes, plus dry bags, straps and pre-built bundles. The owner uses four industrial sewing machines and says most materials come from New Zealand suppliers. Custom orders take around two to three weeks. Prices are in New Zealand dollars, with tax included and shipping worked out at checkout. US customers are asked to email before ordering, and the website notes that EU customs changes mean shipping costs are added after the order.
Customers who had custom frame bags made for a Tour of Aotearoa ride praised the fit and the service. Another customer sent a template for a custom frame bag and says it fits perfectly. Two other bike shops are listed within 1 km on Open Locally: Crankaholics Bicycle Service, at the same spot and rated 5.0 from 13 reviews, and FS Cycles, 0.7 km away and rated 4.9 from 57 reviews.
