The holidays are just around the corner. If you’re looking for the perfect present for the paddlers in your life, we’ve got you covered. Whether they’re chasing winter waves, running rivers, or just dreaming of their next adventure, we’ve rounded up ten gifts that’ll keep them happy on and off the water. From stocking fillers to our latest and greatest, these are sure to make any boater’s Christmas morning a splash hit.
1. Neo pogies

Cold fingers are no fun. Keep the chill off with the Neo pogies – snug neoprene mitts that wrap around the paddle shaft for warmth and grip. Easy to slip on and off mid-session, they’re an essential piece of gear for winter paddling.
2. Tsangpo suit (men’s & women’s)

The ultimate base layer for cold days on the water. Made from super-soft Pontetorto fleece, the Tsangpo suit is a full-body hug of warmth that layers perfectly under a drysuit. Flatlocked seams, stretchy comfort, and a clever two-way zip make it a winter paddler’s dream.
3. Gradient 3.0 boots

Grip, protection, and all-day comfort – the Gradient 3.0 boots are built for rugged riverbanks and slippery portages. Supportive yet flexible, they’re a solid upgrade for serious paddlers. Available in black or Sherbet+Turquoise to suit your style.
4. Rocket kids’ suit

Little paddlers deserve proper kit too. The Rocket suit is a full-featured whitewater drysuit scaled down for kids – lightweight, comfy, and built for big adventures. A brilliant way to keep the next generation warm, dry, and smiling on the river.
5. Surf hood

Say goodbye to brain freeze. The Surf hood keeps your head and neck toasty, so you can stay out longer when the water’s icy. A snug fit and soft lining make it a must for cold-water sessions. The quick-dry thermal lining helps you get back on the water the very next day – no excuses.
6. Poncho Grande

Change anywhere, stay warm, stay dry. The Poncho Grande is the post-paddle essential – soft, oversized, and perfect for discreet changes in car parks or on riverbanks. Ideal for paddlers who hate getting changed in the cold or waiting around in the cold between sessions.
7. Eyewear band

A simple stocking filler that saves your glasses or sunnies. This comfy neoprene band keeps your sunglasses secure so you can focus on having fun.
8. Lightning throwline

The Lightning throwline lives up to its name – light, accurate, quick to deploy and pack. Whether you’re rescuing a mate or practising your throws, it’s the go-to safety line for whitewater paddlers.
9. Downstream drybag

Pack smart, stay dry. The Downstream drybag has a clever vent valve that lets you squeeze out excess air for compact packing – perfect for multi-day trips or just keeping your gear tidy. Available in two sizes and that bright chilli-clear finish you’ll actually spot in the boat.
10. Tsangpo hat

Warm, wicking, and super soft – this fleece hat is perfect under a helmet or for riverside lounging. It’s one of those things paddlers don’t realise they need until they’ve got one. Made from the same Pontetorto fleece as our Tsangpo range, it packs down small but comes in handy when you need it.
