Also used Snowgum.com.au and very pleased with their warm weather gear.
I too find some American companies unwilling to ship to Australia which is annoying when you've finally found that particular item that you're looking for!
Good luck with your searches!

Do you know anyone who's used them?
I recently had the misfortune to roll my mower down the rather steep slope we live on. I survived with a few cuts & bruises, the mower deck was badly twisted. It's a Craftsman, made by Sears in the U.S. To buy the replacement cutting deck here in Qld the price is $968. To buy the same deck in the states is $136 U.S [$148 Aussie] problem is UPS etc won't ship it as it's to heavy/bulky for normal shipping prices
That sounds like a decent deal @ + 5%
I buy gear from the U.K & the U.S often as price wise the Aussies just can't compete, unpatriotic? nope just a conscientious consumer.

I always find this "last 100 orders" link interesting as it shows you what people are ordering from the USA: http://www.priceusa.com.au/last-orders.html
Currently has a backcountry order in the last 100...is that your colleagues order badge
