About Us

Hi, I’m Rachel, founder of Wild Moose. I’m an adventure‑loving northern lass who adores wild swimming but absolutely hates being cold — proper nesh, as we say in Yorkshire. That’s what sparked the idea for a changing robe, which quickly grew into a full range of products designed to bring warmth, comfort and innovation to outdoor swimmers and water‑based adventurers.

Every Wild Moose item is designed and tested by real wild swimmers, water‑sports enthusiasts and outdoorsy folk who thrive in challenging conditions. With their experience — and plenty of research — we’ve re‑imagined existing gear and created new solutions to help you embrace the elements and stay active in all weathers.

At Moose HQ, we believe deeply in the wellbeing boost of being active in nature. Wild swimming’s benefits for mood, stress and anxiety are well‑known, and my own first winter of cold‑water dips in 2020 was life‑changing — bringing joy, inspiration and new friendships. We'd love our gear to enable other people to access the water all year round and experience the benefits.

We’re proud to be part of such a friendly, inclusive outdoor community. Conversations with swimmers and paddlers constantly shape our products, and we’re always gathering new ideas when we’re out and about. We love hearing your suggestions (and your favourite swim spots), so keep them coming.

Why the name Wild Moose?

Moose are surprisingly brilliant swimmers, cold‑adapted, thick‑coated and built for chilly environments — just like many wild swimmers. 

Plus I get to wear hats like this...
