Palm Equipment

Gear for paddlers

We’ve been making specialist apparel, accessories and safety equipment for paddlesport since 1979. Palm supplies everything you need to take to the water – we also manufacture and distribute Dagger Kayaks in Europe, Islander Kayaks, Wilderness Systems, Mad River Canoe and VE Paddles – through an international network of distributors, to activity centres and your local paddlesport retailer.

Making Things Better

More enjoyable, safer, better experiences – are at the heart of Palm designs. Take for example our new Terek jacket, 100% recycled nylon in a three-layer waterproof fabric that feels great. Or the next step in whitewater safety with the Piggyback chest harness system on the Nevis PFD. And we were the first to introduce a waistbelt inflatable certified to ISO standards with the Glide PFD.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT! #PADDLEPICKUP

SATURDAY 28TH NOVEMBER

Last year we led a litter pick and river clean on the Kent, the river at the heart of Kendal. This year we want you all to join in, looking after your nearest waterway. All together we can make a noise on Sunday to raise the importance of respect for our waterways and the damaging effects of pollution and waste. Share your haul of plastic bottles, shopping trolleys, flotsam and jetsam on social media
