We've got gear for every season. The occasional overcast or rainy day shouldn't stop us from having fun on the water. Extend your day of adventure with a good quality jacket or suit over your baselayers and thermals. Have fun for longer with Palm Equipment.

Cooler days on the water means it's time to layer up! We've got a full range of thinner baselayers like the Helios range, to thicker layers like the Tsangpo range you can wear under your jackets and trousers. Check out our full range at a retailer near you.

Autumn is on its way. The afternoons might still feel like summer, but colder mornings and dropping water temperatures are signs that the season is changing.

Get ready for the colder months ahead and check your gear, be it your drysuit that's been sat in storage for the most part of this year or your thermals. Check your seals, zips, seams and check them for signs of mould. Now's a great time to lubricate zips and freshen your gear with tech wash and re-waterproof your gear too!

Don't let the cold water catch you out. Here at Palm, we offer pressure tests, latex and glideskin seal replacements, patching, zip and dry sock replacements and much more. Get in touch with our customer service team for more information [email protected].

When did you last check your buoyancy aid?

Late summer days on the water are tough to beat, but shorter days and changing weather mean safety needs to stay front of mind. With the El Niño all over the news, and potentially rainy weather ahead, it's a great idea to check your kit before your next dawnie on a river on the rise.

- Check your pocket kit: make sure your whistle, river knife, or safety essentials are secured and easy to reach.
- Check for fraying, loose stitching, or sun damage.
- Check your buckles, zips, and quick-release buckles
- Check your foam – it should be firm and not shrunken.

A well-fitting, functional personal floatation device (PFD) is your most important piece of kit every time you hit the water. If it doesn't pass your checks, it might be time to retire your PFD and get yourself a new one. Safety first!

More miles. More memories. More confidence. When you're out on the water for long stretches of time, you need gear you can trust. The Peyto has been tried and tested by experienced paddlers and professional coaches alike, and is a go-to for big journeys.

Lightweight, comfortable and designed for sea kayakers and paddleboarders alike, the Peyto PFD lets you enjoy every moment without compromise.

The sea doesn't care how experienced you are. Conditions can change in an instant. That's why wearing a PFD isn't just for beginners. It's for every paddler, on every trip, not only keeping you afloat if you fall in, but also providing insulation around your core and a place to store safety equipment, snacks and even a hydration bladder.

The Peyto PFD is lightweight, comfortable and designed for long days touring by kayak or SUP, giving you the confidence to explore further, wherever the water takes you. Keeping you safe, fuelled and hydrated.

Adventure starts with making the right choice. Check out the Peyto from your local Palm stockist.

2026 Sustainability Award: Palm Equipment - Seawastex®

“Seawastex® is the first post-consumer recycled fabric we’ve trusted enough to build our premium outerwear from. Recycled, but never second best."

Among the highlights of last year's The Paddle Sport Show was the 2026 Product of the Year Awards, organized in partnership with KS Publishing and the Paddlerguide.com. Each year, the contest spotlights the best new paddlesports gear for the upcoming season. The 2026 Sustainability Award was presented to Palm Equipment for their new Seawastex® gear line.

To understand more about this new material made from recycled fishing nets, we asked the team a few questions about how it works and how it came to life. Check out our ITV 👉 https://www.kayaksession.com/palm-equipment-seawastex-2026-product-of-the-year-sustainability-award/
