At Kukri Sports, performance has never been one size fits all, it’s about passion, determination and the belief that every athlete deserves kit that helps them perform at their best.

Through our ongoing para-sports campaign, we’re celebrating the achievements of incredible athletes, shining a light on their stories and showcasing the design innovation that ensures accessibility and excellence go hand in hand.

Proud Partners in Performance

From grassroots initiatives to elite competition, Kukri has long stood alongside teams and organisations championing inclusion in sport.

Our partnerships span a wide range of para-sports disciplines, from British Wheelchair Basketball and para-athletics to wheelchair racing, mixed ability rugby and fencing.

In the last year, 25 Kukri-affiliated athletes competed at the Paralympic Games, collectively bringing home 35 medals.

Working closely with universities, national governing bodies and grassroots teams around the world, we’re proud to supply kit that doesn’t just look the part, but feels right, fights comfortably and enables athletes to perform under pressure.

Athlete Voices: Designed to Empower

For para-athletes, the right kit can make a world of difference and ensure freedom of movement, comfort and confidence.

“The England vests and t-shirts, designed by Kukri, are really comfortable which make me feel my most confident whether I’m competing or training,” said Amy Thompson, Kukri Sports ambassador and F41 para shot-put athlete.

“The design on the kit is also really nice, it gives me a nice reminder that I am representing my country and makes me feel honoured.”

Ingrid Schurr, a women’s rugby player for Oshawa Vikings who competed in this year’s International Mixed Ability Rugby tournament, said “The kit from Kukri united us as a whole team and in my case the vision impaired features helped me track better on the field.

“They were also built in so it just looked like a cool design as opposed to a vision impaired add on. That really helped me to feel included and valued.”

Innovation Meets Inclusion

Designing kit for para-sport requires adaptability and technical precision. At Kukri, we approach every kit with the goal of supporting performance through inclusive engineering.

Our para-sports ranges are developed in close collaboration with athletes themselves, from initial designs to on-field testing, ensuring every detail is informed by real performance needs.

Our experience designing for Team England, where we designed and supplied kit for over 2,500 athletes across 19 different sports at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, laid the foundation for this approach.

The design process involved input from 23 athletes across a range of sports to ensure the specific needs and preferences of the competitors were met.

That same collaborative process now drives our para-sport innovation. For sports such as wheelchair basketball and racing, we’ve introduced shorter back panels, seamless side seams and anti-slip materials to reduce friction and enhance stability.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Our commitment to para-sports extends beyond sportswear. By supporting para teams and sharing their stories, we hope to inspire the next generation of athletes to see possibility instead of limitation.

Whether it’s introducing new sustainable materials, refining patterns or creating adaptable solutions, our para-sport innovation continues to shape the future of sports all over the world.

Beyond Limits. Together.
