Every product stitched with a Mountain Designs label has been designed with the quality and functionality required to take on the world's biggest adventure playground – the outdoors. This is paramount to who we are and embedded in our DNA. It stemmed from when founder Rick White started crafting purpose-made adventure gear for his customers in the early 70s, and continues to be at the core of our operations today. Because like you, we live and breathe adventure. And like you, we hike, we climb, we camp, we explore, we dare. We know how essential the performance of our product is to the adventure. So by combining that real, hands-on experience with a dedicated focus on functionality, we are more committed than ever to outfitting you in the highest quality products so you can keep the adventure going. In 2018, Mountain Designs was acquired by Spotlight Retail Group, becoming part of one of Australia’s largest retail families. With over 8500 team members across Australia, New Zealand and Asia, SRG is famous for the Spotlight, Anaconda and Harris Scarfe brands. Launching its first collection under SGH’s umbrella in Winter 2019, Mountain Designs entered a new chapter with renewed passion for adventure through the best possible quality product. Our Founder For Rick White, founder of Mountain Designs, life was about adventure, getting outdoors and exploring everything the world had to offer. His passion was climbing and in the late 1960s, Rick’s name became synonymous with daring – almost crazy – ascents of various Australian climbs, particularly in the south-east of Queensland. With an ambitious desire to push the limits, he soon began venturing into the unknown and forging new routes, inspiring a cohort of local climbers along the way. Rick was indeed a visionary and a pioneer, and in 1975 following a bold attempt to climb Mt Fitz Roy in Patagonia, he dreamed up and began operating a climbing equipment business that would later become known as Mountain Designs.
