| Tired of wearing old sweaters to navigate battered boats, paddlers Andy Knight and Bob Slee established Palm in 1979 to fulfill the simple need for gear that kept a kayaker dry and wouldn’t fall apart. Today, Palm designs equipment and apparel for paddlers who dare the wildest whitewater, risk the harshest open ocean or cherish the calmest lake. Palm issues an ongoing pledge to all kayakers: "If you paddle... we make it." They back their promise with a range of river-tested equipment that has grown to cover every aspect of paddle sport on a global scale. Whether it’s a paddle, wetsuit, PFD or semi-dry top, Palm provides performance gear you can count on. |
