Welcome to the Gap Year Travel Store! We supply top notch travel equipment to backpackers and independent travellers.

So why buy your equipment from us?
Because we specialise in gear for backpackers and travellers! Many suppliers are actually outdoor or hiking retailers which have completely different needs and requirements. All of the products in our range are aimed at being cost effective, lightweight and compact. So you won't find technical backpacks to hang your ice pick on but practical travel backpacks with unique travel features such as removable daysacks, zip away flight systems and security locks.

We love travelling ourselves and so are constantly on the lookout for new products (mainly because we get to try them out first!). Keep an eye on our new products section and look through our new range of travel camping equipment...
