Helmets, shoes, clothing

Well-fitting and functional gear makes paddling significantly more comfortable and carefree. Our selection includes helmets, shoes, and clothing specifically designed for paddling—combining practicality, protection, and comfort.

A helmet is an essential piece of safety gear on any route where rocks or moving water add potential hazards. We offer affordable basic helmets in various colors, perfect for calmer conditions. For more demanding environments, we also stock advanced models with added ear protection and a wider range of sizes with adjustable fits. Trusted brands like Palm, NRS, and WRSI ensure proven construction and reliable performance.

In paddling footwear, grip, protection, and comfort are key. Our shoes are suitable for use in packrafts, kayaks, and while moving along the shore—regardless of the conditions. Brands like NRS, Palm, and Astral manufacture models with grippy soles for wet and rocky surfaces and provide good ankle support for stability and safety.

Paddling-specific clothing is essential—always dress with the assumption you might end up in the water. If the water is cold, waterproof gear becomes especially important. Merino wool base layers, for example, effectively wick moisture and retain warmth, making them a smart choice in cooler conditions. Paddling jackets, pants, and drysuits are waterproof and windproof, yet breathable—designed specifically for use around water while keeping you dry.

Safety first! When your gear is in order, time on the water becomes more relaxed, changing weather and water conditions are less of a limitation, and risks are easier to manage.
