Outdoorspullen is a colloquial Dutch term for outdoor gear and equipment used for activities such as hiking, camping, trekking, fishing, and cycling. It encompasses products and accessories needed for outdoor use, including shelters, clothing, cooking equipment, navigation devices, and safety gear.

The term is a portmanteau of the English word outdoor and the Dutch spullen (stuff, gear). It is commonly used in the Netherlands and Flanders in consumer discourse, blogs, shops, and on social media. It is not a formal category, but a widely recognized label within the retail and enthusiast communities.

The scope includes tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, water-resistant jackets, footwear, stoves, cookware, headlamps, multi-tools, and outdoor electronics, as well as first-aid kits. For specialized activities, it covers mountain gear, survival gear, and water-sport equipment.
