Peak UK was formed back in 1990 when it's founder Pete Astles was an up and coming slalom racer, funding his sport by working in a local kayak store. He decided to try making some garments of his own and with help from a friend they soon made a prototype jacket and PFD.  His fellow slalom racers all wanted these jackets and PFDs, thats how it all began.....

Now more than 20 years later Peak UK is one of the world's leading brands of kayaking wear.
