Palm Equipment

Palm Equipment Gear for paddlers since 1979. This page is the place to discuss everything Palm and to connect with the team. www.palm.equipment

The year was 1979, on the Somerset coast. Inside a small shed with a leaky tin roof you’d have found a figure, working hard and covered in a fine layer of glass fibre dust: Andy Knight wanted some better gear to take paddling, and had decided to make it himself. The sign on the door read ‘Palm Glass Fibre Mouldings Ltd’. Just down the road, Andy can still be found working away on something new. The shed is now a little bigger, and Andy's been joined by a team of staff, but they still work with the same determination at the same goal; making gear for paddlers.

A clean profile that hides essential river tools right where you need them.

The Riff Rescue PFD is designed to keep your rescue gear organized without cluttering your front panel.

- Large Utility-draw clamshell pocket fitted with a heavy duty YKK two-way zip for quick access to slings, carabiners, and pulleys
- Easy access knife stash-pocket positioned discreetly for immediate deployment
- Low-profile front shape that stays clear of your kayak cockpit rim

Pack your safety essentials cleanly and hit the river prepared.

What's your must haves in your PFD?

For years, Palm Equipment has been searching for a material that could genuinely reduce environmental impact without compromising the performance standards demanded by serious paddlers. That search has led to Seawastex®, which received The Paddle Sport Show 2026 Sustainability Award last year.

Made from discarded fishing nets and marine nylon waste, Seawastex® uses advanced chemical recycling technology to break recovered nylon back down to its original molecular building blocks before regenerating it into premium technical yarns.

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/
