Passion for sport runs strong on our small Island.

Living on a small and beautiful island brings a lot of positives, but unlike those living in larger countries testing equipment locally is impossible. Instead we have to either travel, rely on other player's recommendations or shop online which often means paying a premium to buy equipment from better known brands.

But a high price and a well known name doesn't mean it's the best equipment for you.

As sportspeople ourselves and as parents of children who also participate in sport we thought if there was a way to offer the great quality we wanted at a reasonable price.

We wanted a range of equipment which progressed naturally from juniors and beginners to the most advanced players amongst us. But most importantly we wanted our equipment to be accessible for local players at prices we can afford but without cutting on the quality.

And after two years of design and searching for the right manufacturing partner, we've finally developed a product range we're proud to put our name to. So when you look at Manx equipment we want you to notice all the tiny details which have gone into the design.

Details like:

The Mine Box

• A clear space on all our sticks where players can write their own name. Because there's nothing worse than two identical slooking sticks left at the side of the pitch and trying to remember which is yours.

Extra Carbon Wrap

• All our sticks, are finished with a final carbon wrap to give even greater protection and longevity.

Pitch Robes

• Because we know exactly how it feels to be stood pitchside in January, we designed our Pitch Robes with waterproof pockets

Washable shin pads

• We know that a player's kitbag isn't the freshest thing after a long season, but our shinpads are designed so you can remove the protective barrier and put the material parts into the washing machine

But we think the most important thing you should know about us is we're not just an online brand; our family competes, spectates and supports matches every week.

We don't just put our names to it, we use our kit ourselves.
