Good company, great outdoors — that’s where our story began
We didn’t invent adventure. We just made it less messy
Innovation That Started in the Military.
Founded in 2003, CGEAR Australia holds patents in over 100 countries for its groundbreaking Sand-Free Technology. Originally developed for military use — including helicopter landing mats designed to stop dust clouds and flying grit — our dual-layer weave is engineered for some of the world’s toughest environments.
From Battlefield to the Great Outdoors
What began as a military innovation soon transformed outdoor life everywhere. In 2010, CGEAR introduced Sand-Free Mats to the recreational market in the United States and beyond. Today, our products are trusted by campers, RV owners, surfers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts across the globe.
How Our Mats Work
The secret lies in our patented dual-layer weave — a design exclusive to CGEAR that redefined outdoor comfort.
The top layer instantly lets sand, dirt, and dust fall straight through, while the bottom layer locks it in, stopping it from coming back up. The result is a surface that stays clean and comfortable no matter where you are — from the beach to the bush, campsite, or RV site.
Even better, natural movement does the cleaning for you.
A simple swipe of your hand, a breeze across the mat, or footsteps shifting underneath all help loosen particles so they fall through unassisted.
Thanks to the breathable, open-weave structure, spilled water drains and evaporates quickly, allowing air to circulate freely and keeping your space cool, dry, and grit-free.
What goes under the mat, stays under the mat.
