For Zorali co-owners Cam and Elise Greenwood connecting with nature is not about extreme sports or summiting a mountain. It’s just the simple pleasure of being outside.

“We want to express the Australian way of life in our range, whether that’s going on a road trip on the Great Ocean Road or [visiting the] Victorian High Country,” says Cam. “We really see this beautiful part of the world we live in as a playground.”

Elise is a former graphic designer for Rip Curl, and Cam co-founded apparel brand Monsta Surf. In August 2019, after a $300,000 crowdfunding campaign, the couple turned Monsta into Zorali, an ethically conscious outdoor clothing and apparel label.

The label’s stylish camping gear includes ultralight insulated sleeping mats, sleeping bags and pillows, a portable water-resistant chair for camp chilling, a insulated can cooler, and a pour-over coffee dripper.

Overnight bags and backpacks are made using a weather-resistant fibre called Cordura, and have waterproof zips to stop water seeping in on rainy walks.

The extensive clothing range is all about hard-wearing materials and timeless designs. It features orange, blue, olive, burgundy, green and mustard tones, and includes tops and merino base layers, hoodies and fleeces, pants and hiking sandals.

If you buy three items as part of the campout set (your selection of a tent, sleeping mat and pillow), there’s a 20 per cent discount. And newbies can enjoy 10 per cent off their first purchase.

The Greenwoods are working to become as sustainable as possible, too. “Nature compels us to take a sustainable approach to business,” says Cam. “It’s been a cool process teaching our suppliers why we don’t want to use [plastic] bags for delivery.”

Zorali have since become a certified B Corp and continue to partner with Climate Neutral, One Per Cent For The Planet and Eden Reforestation Projects as part of their commitment to a more sustainable future.
