About Us

Born under the shadow of Mount Taranaki and forged by the elements of the wild west coast, Bison and Arcguard Workwear are built different. Our products are designed for resilience in extreme working conditions, providing maximum wearer comfort and safety. Bison and Arcguard Workwear have charged there way across New Zealand from mountain to sea, roading, rigs, and every industry in between. Bison and Arcguard Workwear is inspired by hard-working Kiwis facing the ever-changing New Zealand environment, every day since 1976.

Like our animal namesake, we value intelligence, strength, endurance and durability. A Bison will walk directly toward an oncoming storm, they do not run or hide, instead they fearlessly face the storm. Products bearing the Bison and Arcguard Workwear logo are designed and produced with those core characteristics.

Using the best materials, technology and utilising bespoke fabrics and techniques, Bison and Arcguard Workwear continues to build on its uncompromising foundation of comfort and safety, while achieving the highest standards both locally and globally. Whatever challenges you face, head into the storm with Bison.
