Our Inception
Escape Gear came to life in a garage in the northern suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa, as a ‘pop up’ company with 4 employees.
Partners with Passion
The fledgling company was sold in 2006 to new owners with a deep interest in the great outdoors. The company directors have, at one time or another, excelled in trans-ocean yachting, endurance mountain biking, kayaking, trail running, and pioneered the river rafting industry in South Africa.
Simple. Dependable. Quality
Passion for the outdoors, the need for robust products that can cope in such environments, a beady eye on customer service, quality and value for money, meant Escape Gear quickly outgrew its first home and moved to larger industrial premises in the southern suburbs of Cape Town.
Over the years the company has grown from strength to strength with people, processes and products.
The “New” Escape Gear
Recently Adinah Capital Partners acquired a controlling share in Escape Gear. Going forward into the next decade and beyond, the “new” Escape Gear represents a company cognisant of the dignity and responsibility towards its people & countries in which it conducts business.
