About SKILD

Born from Champions, Built for Performance

Two smiling athletes hold a gold dragon trophy at the Singapore Dragon Boat Festival, with one wearing a long-sleeve rashguard from the Japanese Wings collection featuring red and blue wing patterns.

SKILD was founded by Dragon Boat World Champions Dr. Anne K Bendt and Christoph Renger out of necessity. These seasoned athletes were tired of performance wear that wasn't performing — rough, stuffy shirts that constrained movement and left sensitive skin exposed to the sun and caused nasty chafing after long training sessions. So they set out to design a shirt that would give them one less thing to worry about when they were out on the water.

A shirt fitted for movement, comfort, and style. One made from a lightweight fabric that protects and cools the body, all while being as soft as silk. And after years of development, testing, and feedback, the shirt Anne and Christoph dreamt up was finally real — SKILD-wear was born.

Multiple athletes gather around a table, placing their hands on a vibrant Skild performance jersey from the yellow collection to showcase team unity and branding.

Why Skild?

Performance That Protects

SKILD SPORT provides high-performance shirts that protect from overheating, UV radiation, and abrasions. An essential part of each athlete's gear, it gives you peace of mind to focus on what is important in your upcoming journey or competition. Our breakthrough temperature-regulating technology for ocean sports was first showcased at the Tokyo 2022 Olympics, proving that innovation meets real-world demands.
