Born from a love of dinghy sailing, Rooster® was founded in 1999 by Steve Cockerill with a simple mission: to make high-quality, accessible sailing gear for everyone. Starting out in his spare room in the UK, Steve relied on friends to help create the very first products – driven by his own frustration at not being able to find kit that truly worked. What began as a personal project has grown into a trusted technical clothing brand, supporting sailors across the world. While sailing remains at our heart, Rooster® gear is designed for versatility across the water. From paddleboarding and kayaking to foiling and beyond, our thoughtfully engineered clothing and kit adapt to changing conditions -empowering you to embrace every adventure, all year round. Rooster® believes in doing things properly.
