We design and create high-quality customised team wear, casual wear, and sports apparel for everyone. Comfortable yet innovative. What’s the story? It was clear the appetite for more technical fabrics and innovative garment construction was growing as shown by the clear advances of sports like cycling and triathlon. This led Pontoon to source the first of many of their technical fabrics - Supplex Lycra. Armed with Supplex, at the time, the latest in fabric technology and a refurbished flatlock sewing machine they created the ‘Olympic Rowing Suit’ a single display only rowing suit that was shown at the 2006 National Rowing Championships in Lake Barrington, Tasmania. The overwhelmingly positive Pontoon sport reviews, feedback and excitement around ‘The Olympic’ made it clear about what athletes wanted, and Pontoon established their core philosophy to always be at the forefront of fabric and garment technology. In 2008, after achieving success with their technical garments in Australia, Pontoon moved into the UK Rowing scene. Pontoon had a quick impact, fulfilling orders for London Rowing Club, Thames Rowing Club, Exeter University, and Warwick University, culminating in the supply of all training and race day kits to the 2010 and 2011 Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. It was during this time the online Kit Designer was developed, a tool for customers to design and buy their kit directly on the Pontoon Website, as well as the Team Order Portal, a hosting service for clubs where they could set up their own club shop for garments to be purchased by club members. In 2014 Pontoon began its expansion into canoe and kayaking, developing a pair of specialist paddling shorts as part of the wider range of team kit Pontoon exclusively supplied to the Australian Paddle Team and they committed to developing a specific range of paddle kits for the Australian Team and paddling alike, this included Paddling Shorts, Kags, and Spray Decks. However, it was in 2014 that Pontoon became a true multi-sport custom team wear supplier with their first College and University-wide supply arrangements, including the full supply of casual and sportswear for the University of New South Wales for all sports competing in the Australian University Games in 2015. As of 2020 Pontoon sports continues to maintain the highest of standards when it comes to custom team wear. With all of Pontoons’ garments combining the latest in fabric and garment construction, and innovation at that core of everything Pontoon sports does.
