ABOUT

GEAR’d

GEAR’d Adelaide is an annual multi-day event hosted by Adelaide Leather & Fetish Inc (AL&F). Established in 2017, the event proudly showcases the unique and diverse community that has grown from the original roots of what was once known as Adelaide Leathermen.

GEAR’d has become recognised across Australia, and internationally, as its own community haven and an event not to be missed on any kinky calendar. Hosting this event is a passionate and enthusiastic committee made up of a diverse base of individuals who want to have fun, build connections and community, share and exchange knowledge, and share some of what the Adelaide kink and fetish community has to offer.

The event proudly showcases the Adelaide Leather Title competitions where we search for our next Mr and Ms Adelaide Leather and Adelaide Rubber Title Holders.
