Workwear That Works — Built for Kiwis

Kiwi Workgear is a Masterton-based workwear and safety gear specialist supplying tradespeople, farmers, foresters, and outdoor workers across New Zealand. We stock gear that actually gets used on the job — not fashion, not fluff.

Who We Are

Kiwi Workgear is owned and run by Wilson Scott, who has been working in the NZ workwear and PPE industry since 2009. Wilson started the business after seeing how hard it was for Wairarapa workers to access quality safety gear locally — the kind of gear that meets AS/NZS standards, fits properly, and holds up in the field.

We're based at 87B Chapel Street, Masterton, Wairarapa. Walk-in customers are always welcome. We also ship NZ-wide — typically 2–5 business days to main centres, with rural delivery available nationwide.

Our Expertise

With over 15 years in the NZ workwear industry, Wilson and the Kiwi Workgear team have hands-on knowledge of NZ safety regulations, AS/NZS PPE standards, and what actually works in real Kiwi conditions — from Wairarapa dairy farms to South Island forestry operations to Auckland construction sites.

We can advise on:

  • Which PPE meets WorkSafe NZ and Health & Safety at Work Act 2015 requirements
  • AS/NZS standard compliance for safety footwear, hi-vis, helmets, eyewear and gloves
  • Chainsaw protection classes for forestry and arborist work
  • Height safety equipment selection and compliance
  • Fitting and sizing for your workforce
  • Custom embroidery and screen printing for business uniforms and team workwear
