About Polar Wear

Polar Wear was set up by a child of the sixties, for the children of the sixties. We know what a long winter does to a house, and we know what it is like to be sold a gadget that gives up by January. Every year there are more of them, and nobody can tell you where they came from, who made them, or what is inside. So Dave Murnane went and found out. 

He has been to the factories. He has met the people who make every product on this site, asked the awkward questions, and come home with the ones he would give to his own family. That is why the promise is simple. If it is not right, we replace it or refund you, and you will not have to argue. 

About Dave

Dave has run businesses for over 40 years: Cater Control from 1989, Aqua Restaurant from 1999, and since 2023 Decks & Stripes, where he makes the deckchairs himself and his cousin Cynthia Ruxton designs and sews all of the collection. Polar Wear grew out of the same warehouse in Swords, because nobody wants a deckchair in November and everybody wants warm feet.
