Anticipation and Trip Preparation - they may well be the most important, the most exciting, and the most fun elements of your vacation! Global Gear makes it FUN to browse and shop for "just the right things" (a little frivolity is allowed!), to easily find all the things that will best help you prepare for and enjoy your vacation adventure.

We believe that travelers travel to participate. To be "misted" by the spout of the humpback, to deeply breathe the chill morning air in the Weddell Sea, to comfortably walk among the tortoises in the Galapagos, to sip Shiraz high atop the hill in the Barossa, to be close enough to a pride of lions to smell their (well, use your imagination!!!) To experience all of this, you need to put yourself right in the "middle of it". And to do this, you need to be prepared, ready for the day's changes and moods - with everything either on your person or close at hand.

Our store attempts to answer these diverse needs - those of active adventurers and "soft adventure" travelers alike. We've selected products from among the leading brands and offer a unique & interesting collection of sometimes "hard to find" items. To begin, simply click on your destination or any category you see to the right and you'll find a lot of "great stuff" that is particularly relevant to your vacation. Check back often as our store continues to expand.
