About us

We are an Adeliade based small business, born from the harsh working conditions of the Australian outback.

Founder and engineer Nick Avery, started Outback Mask in 2019 while building solar farms across Australia. Working long shifts in 40+ degree temperatures, extreme UV indexes, dust storms and relentless bush flies led him to create a better solution.

Nick was surpised to ​have found many workers not using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) because of discomfort and incompatibility associated with the available products.

Soon after, tradies from all disciplines and DIY-ers were all asking about Outback Mask.

We proved our MVP effectiveness in 2019-2020 with bushfire smoke and tradies in across Australia.

Now, we are bringing Outback Mask to the masses!
