The Rooster Christmas List

For the sailors, the sea lovers, the on-shore supporters and the ones who are always a bit cold. Christmas shopping for a watersports enthusiast? We've got you.

Whether they're first on the water, last off it, happiest sending it into 25 knots or more likely to be found taking a questionable dip in the sea, we've rounded up a few of our favourite gifts to make their Christmas cosy.

From little stocking fillers to the big unwraps, there's something for every kind of water lover. And if you're buying for someone who already seems to own everything? Don't worry, we've got an answer for that too.

Consider the Christmas shopping sorted!

The Stocking Fillers (Gifts up to £30)

Little gifts. Big sea-sonal cheer

You can't go wrong with a stocking filler, especially when it's something they'll actually use. From keeping fingers and toes toasty to those handy little bits of kit that make life on the water easier, these are small gifts with plenty of mileage.

Our picks:

The little upgrades (Gifts up to £75)

That little something they'll use all year

Sometimes it's the practical presents that get the biggest smiles. Think clever everyday essentials and those little upgrades that make getting changed, or spotting the gusts out on the water that bit easier.

Our picks:

Polarised Race Sunglasses – The frameless, wraparound style gives you a wide field of vision, while the polarised mirrored lenses cut glare and enhance contrast - perfect for bright, reflective conditions on the water.

Aquapro Gloves - This full fingered Aquafleece® glove with super grip (Amara) palm protection, gives maximum wind resistance at the back side of the hand whilst still maintaining grip for performance at the underside.

Polartec Fleece - The Rooster Polartec® Fleece is all about keeping you warm, comfortable, and ready for whatever the day brings.

And it's not just for sailors. Surfers, wild swimmers, paddleboarders, beach lovers and anyone who enjoys being outside in questionable weather will appreciate one of these.

Because getting out of the water is one thing. Getting warm again is quite another.

You're welcome!
