Mountain Biking Australia – August 2019

(Jacob Rumans) #1
Aussie Grit Apparel is the
brainchild of Mark Webber,
the Formula 1 driver you may
remember from his nine F1 round
wins and 42 podiums. Mark’s no
stranger to performance and the
outdoors, also running the Van
Diemen adventure challenge in
Tasmania a couple of years ago.
Now turning his attention to
outdoor wear designed for use
across biking and trail running
disciplines, his latest challenge
aims to produce functional gear
with an Aussie slant. The range

is positioned as a premium level
offering, competing with the
likes of worldwide adventure
gear brands evident in both
their running/adventure and
bike gear.
I’ve been trying out a few of
their creations from the Flint MTB
range to see how they stack up.
Overall the gear I’ve seen is all
high quality with good attention
to detail and styling. Taped
seams and self-locking zippers
are some examples of that
attention to detail. Understated

FOUNDED BY F1 LEGEND MARK WEBBER,
AUSSIE GRIT SETS OUT TO PRODUCE
COMFORTABLE BIKING GEAR WITH A
DISTINCTLY AUSTR ALIAN FLAVOUR.
