First person to kayak the North Atlantic route from the USA to Ireland - Former SAS Sergeant
“Reed gear kept four men alive – end of.
Our Transatlantic record bid was sunk after our boat, carrying four British rowers, was hit by a hurricane 300 miles west of the Scilly Isles. We were left clinging onto a life raft after waves reaching up to 60 feet battered our boat and broke it in half.
There is no doubt we would have died if we hadn’t been wearing Reed gear. It’s the best you can get and I don’t go anywhere without it.”
