Trusted Gear for Paddlers Since 1979

Palm Equipment is a UK paddlesports brand founded in 1979 by kayaker Andy Knight, with a simple mission: make better, safer gear for paddlers. From whitewater and multisport to sea kayaking and packrafting, their in-house design team creates PFDs, jackets, drysuits and accessories that focus on fit, safety and real-world performance.

With their own manufacturing plant in Vietnam and a base in the UK, Palm controls every step from concept to finished product, earning a reputation for innovation, durability and trustworthy safety features. Palm are now investing in more sustainable materials such as recycled nylon fabrics, so paddlers can enjoy long days on the water while treading more lightly on the places they love to paddle.
