Our Supporters

Since starting this doubles project we have been grateful for the support we have been given by some great companies.  Racing through a season is expensive and we have gotten help in lots of small ways that really add up to make a big difference.

We would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank, in no particular order(!), those companies who are helping support our doubles project this summer.

Buff

Buff have provided us with some of their headwear and new technical kit and kindly asked us to be their brand ambassadors for rowing.  With the less than lovely weather we have been having we have been putting all the headwear/neck warmers to good use!


Hunter Boots

As we are involved in a water sport you'd think we wouldn't mind getting wet, but in fact we try to avoid it! So we love our brand new Hunter wellies which keep our feet dry before getting in the boat, and look gorgeous with their union jack vintage print too. We have been wearing them much more than just around the river!



Headsweats

Headsweats have given us some caps and visors that will really come into their own when the summer really arrives! We will race in the caps and they are great for keeping our heads cool and hair out of our faces.


Faith in Nature

Despite being rowers and athletes we are still girls and we don't always like being sweaty and like to take a bit of pride in our appearance. We love the face wipes, anti-perspirant, shower gel and moisturiser that Faith in Nature have supplied us with.  They are helping us to smell sweeter and look better!



Sun Sense

With all the sun protection information that is about I hope you all know by now that you should wear sunscreen even when it is not really sunny.  As we train outdoors every day we know that sun damaged skin is heading our way if we don't take care of it with a really high quality sun protection.  Sun Sense have provided us with top quality products which will protect our skin throughout the season especially as we move into hotter climes as we travel for our racing.



110% PLAY HARDER

Recovery is one of the most important aspects of our rowing lives, after training of course! We have just met with the UK representative for a very exciting new company, launched in the US in 2010.  110% Play Harder are unique in the way that they combine compression wear and ice or heat so that you can recover on the move. A walking ice bath!  We are racing this weekend and can't wait to try out the leggings with ice packs in the compartments, post racing. Pictures and review to follow!
