About Lucas Dry Labs
Fresh Gear, Naturally.
Lucas Dry Labs was born from a simple mission: to create products that enhance the outdoor experience without compromising on sustainability or effectiveness. Founded by Dylan, an avid climber and outdoor enthusiast from Auckland, our journey began with a personal frustration shared by many in the New Zealand climbing community.
Our Approach
We believe in working with nature, not against it. That's why our De-Funkers use a powerful combination of natural sodium bicarbonate and bamboo charcoal to eliminate odours at the source, rather than masking them. Every product is designed & tested right here in Auckland, New Zealand to ensure it performs in our unique climate and conditions.
Designed for the Community
From the climbing walls of Northern Rocks to the tramping tracks of the Southern Alps, our products are created by people who live the lifestyle they're designed for. We're not just selling deodorisers, we're supporting the community that inspires us. That's why we partner with local climbing gyms and outdoor organisations to give back to the places that give us so much.
Our Commitment
At Lucas Dry Labs, we're committed to making products that last. Our De-Funkers are rechargeable for 6-12 months, eliminating the need for single-use sprays and reducing waste. We use minimal, recyclable packaging and focus on creating solutions that work as hard as you do. Every decision we make, from ingredient sourcing to shipping methods, considers our impact on the environment we all love to explore.
Looking Forward
As a small, Kiwi-owned business, we're constantly learning and evolving. Our customers' feedback shapes our products and drives our innovation. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a dedicated climber, we're here to help you enjoy your adventures without compromise. Fresh gear, naturally.
