About Outsider Mountain Sports Limited

Outsider Mountain Sports is a specialist outdoor and work-at-height gear shop at 24 Albert St in Rangiora, trading on a straightforward promise: gear for work or adventure - whatever your mode, they have you covered. Few shops genuinely serve both worlds, but this one does. Its Professional range equips rope access technicians, rescue teams and others whose safety depends on their equipment, while the Recreational range outfits climbers, mountaineers, trampers, campers, bike tourers and paddlers.

On the professional side the catalogue runs deep: carabiners in locking and steel options, ascenders and descenders, harnesses, helmets, lanyards, fall arrest gear, pulleys, quick links, rigging and anchors, rope, cord and webbing, and slings, plus dedicated water rescue and rescue and patient care sections - even rescue manuals - and the components and bags needed to build and carry a complete working system.

The recreational shelves are just as broad, spanning climbing ropes, quickdraws and protection; crampons, ice axes and avalanche safety; tents, sleeping bags, packs and tramping footwear; jackets, overtrousers and kids' clothing; and a notably strong bike section with panniers, handlebar bags, bikepacking setups and FixPlus straps. Everything is browsable online at oms.co.nz, where products are clearly marked in stock or pre-order, and the footwear department even offers an Asolo resoling service to keep favourite boots going.

Outsider Mountain Sports, Rangiora: Professional Rope-Access Gear and Outdoor Kit Under One Roof

Outsider Mountain Sports sits at 24 Albert St in Rangiora and works to a simple brief: gear for work or adventure - whatever your mode, they have you covered. That split between the professional and the personal defines the whole business. This is simultaneously a serious supplier for people who hang off ropes for a living and a thoroughly stocked outfitter for climbers, mountaineers, trampers, bike tourers and anyone else who plays outdoors. The website, oms.co.nz, mirrors the shop, with the full catalogue browsable from home.

Built for the professionals

For rope access technicians, rescue squads and crews who work at height or around moving water, Outsider carries the entire safety chain: carabiners including locking and steel versions, ascenders and descenders, harnesses, helmets, lanyards, fall arrest equipment, pulleys, quick links, rigging and anchors, rope, cord and webbing, and slings. There are dedicated sections for water rescue and for rescue and patient care, complete with rescue manuals, plus components and bags for building and transporting a complete working system. Brands that tradespeople know - Rock Empire, DMM, AustriAlpin and NRS among them - appear throughout this side of the catalogue. If a job needs a rope, an anchor, a descent device or a rescue-grade kit, this is the aisle it lives in.

Adventure, well equipped

The recreational half of the shop is just as deliberate. Climbers will find dynamic and static ropes, quickdraws, cams and other protection, descent and belay devices, harnesses, helmets and shoes, chalk bags, slings and pulleys. Mountaineers get crampons, ice axes, avalanche safety gear and protection. Trampers and campers can kit out entirely - tents, sleeping bags, packs, walking poles, first aid and survival supplies, even star charts - with clothing racks holding jackets, overtrousers and a kids' range. Footwear spans alpine and general tramping boots to light travel and tactical shoes, with gaiters, laces and accessories to match. Water safety gear, drybags and cases cover the wet pursuits.

Cyclists get a corner of their own. The bike bag range alone covers front and rear panniers, handlebar bags, saddle and rack bags, backpacks, bikepacking setups, high-vis pieces, spares and repairs, backed by bike racks and storage. FixPlus straps and cargo cages, a recurring favourite in the catalogue, lash it all down.

Gear that shows up on the counter

The featured shelves say a lot about the shop's tastes. There are Ortlieb Back Roller rear panniers for touring loads; DMM Dragon Cams for traditional climbers placing protection; the Edelweiss Spirit 8.8mm and the Tendon Ambition 7.9 Alpine Dry for rope users who like their lines thin; the Rock Empire Superlight harness; and the Rock Empire Chest Master Up. Recent arrivals have included DMM Wisp quickdraws, a FixPlus cargo cage, the NRS Pilot Access SAR knife in high-visibility yellow, Rock Empire Boro 8 slings and AustriAlpin Eleven screwgate carabiners.

Shopping your way

Gear can be browsed in person at 24 Albert St in Rangiora or ordered through the online store, where every product is clearly flagged in stock or pre-order - the Ortlieb Back Roller, for instance, has been running as a pre-order line. Customers can register an account for repeat visits, and the site keeps New Products and Specials pages current alongside a Brands page and a Stockists listing. The footwear section even includes an Asolo resoling service, a quietly practical touch for anyone who would rather resole a favourite pair of boots than replace them.

Whether the day job is on a tower or the weekend plan is up a ridge, Outsider Mountain Sports keeps both kits within one small, well-organised shop.
