Our Story

The idea of Bush Mits came in August 2022 after years of working on cattle stations out in the unforgiving elements of Outback, Australia.

After moving from the UK, the elements saw my hands battered, bruised and burnt after being exposed to the sun out in the wilderness. I craved something to protect my hands but also prevent those questionable tan lines that showed when wearing anything other than a long-sleeve shirt.

Whilst biding the time waiting for the next load of concrete to arrive, a conversation sparked the idea of Bush Mits and the much-needed protection for our sore mits.

The first Bush Mits were created in August 2022, and Bush Mits officially launched in March 2023, providing UPF 50+ protection and that needed extra comfort during long days in the saddle or on the bike, in the yards or running lick, a bit of gardening or plumbing in troughs, not forgetting a little bit of fishing with a hard-earned cold beverage.

Since then, the range has grown to include Extended Sleeves in November 2023, Neck Scarves in February 2025, and our Winter Mits in July 2025. We've recently hit 10,000 orders, sold over 30,000 gloves, and you'll now find us in close to 50 stockists across Australia.

We hope that a pair of Bush Mits becomes your newest essential item. We aim to please, so if there are any designs or suggestions you may have, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
