About Us.

Chhogori is a prototyping studio based between Australia and Japan, focused on turning experimental alpine gear ideas into functional, field-tested equipment. We work closely with climbers to solve specific, real-world problems through a collaborative, design-led process. We ship internationally.

Our small-batch production model prioritises innovation and problem-solving over mass manufacture, allowing us to respond quickly to the demands of alpinism. This approach is reflected in our ongoing partnership with Feeding the Rat Expeditions, where Chhogori develops fully functioning solutions for complex and unconventional project briefs.
