About Outback Trading Oilskin

Outback Trading Company has been building exceptional outdoor adventure apparel since 1983.  They combine time tested, weather proven Australian oil-skin with high tech waterproof, breathable fabrics to create outdoor apparel that is perfect for active equestrians!  

Traditional Australian oil skin was the first ever man made waterproof and breathable fabric.  It is made with tightly woven cotton that is saturated with wax and oil and then dried. Because it is made with cotton, the fabric retains the ability to "breathe" keeping you dry and comfortable. As the garment is worn, it begins to take on a slick, shiny, almost tanned appearance, hence the name "oil skin."

Outback Trading offers oilskin in traditional Australian "dusters" as well well as hats, coats, and even traditional quilted equestrian jackets.
