Dragon boat racing is more than just a sport—it’s a test of endurance, teamwork, and precision. Whether you’re competing in the National League or preparing for the World Championships, having the right kit can make a huge difference to both performance and team identity.

Why Your Kit Matters

  1. Performance in All Conditions
    Dragon boat racing demands high-performance kit that can handle tough conditions. Your team needs breathable, quick-drying fabrics that stay comfortable whether you’re paddling under the sun or battling through choppy waters. Scimitar’s custom dragon boat kit is designed with moisture-wicking technology to keep athletes cool and dry throughout every race.
  2. Built for Water Resistance & Durability
    Unlike standard sportswear, dragon boat kit must endure frequent exposure to water. Sublimated printing ensures that designs won’t fade or peel, no matter how many times they’re exposed to the elements. Our premium fabrics are resistant to wear and tear, keeping your kit looking fresh season after season.
  3. Sustainability Without Compromise
    As a water-based sport, sustainability is a major concern. Our eco-friendly dragon boat kit is made from recycled materials, reducing environmental impact while maintaining top-tier performance. Teams that choose sustainable kit not only benefit from cutting-edge apparel but also contribute to the protection of the waters they race on.

Customise – Stand out on the water

Custom dragon boat kit isn’t just about function—it’s about making a statement. With Scimitar’s full sublimation printing, teams can create unique designs that showcase their identity. Whether you need custom race vests, tech tees, or longline shorts, we offer fully tailored options to match your team’s colours, logos, and sponsors.

The dragon boat season kicks off in summer, but the best time to order custom kit is between January and May to ensure teams have their gear ready for training and competitions.  In the spirit of major events like the National League and the World Championships in Germany fast approaching, now is the time to prepare.
