Fresh grip socks for the 2025 season
Set in 50 acres of a 1,000-year-old royal forest, New Forest Aqua Park is a popular family-run water park based just outside Fordingbridge, Hampshire.
New Forest Aqua Park came to us for a complete refresh of their 2025 season grip sock collection. As a busy family-friendly site, the client needed a wide range of sock styles and sizes.
Socks needed to showcase the New Forest Aqua Parks brand, offer improved grip on wet inflatable equipment and make guests feel comfortable and confident on their two inflatable obstacle courses, Poseidon and Neptune.
A collaborative approach to design
We worked closely with the client to create 4 unique designs, each with the New Forest Aqua Parks logo woven directly into the fabric.
We made the socks with polyester yarn. Polyester allowed the client’s vibrant purple-and-lime-green colour palette to shine through. It also gave us a practical, hard-wearing and quick-drying sock fabric.
Every sock was printed with a proprietary full-grip, high-traction double-thick vinyl sole pad. PVC sole to keep guests safe and comfortable throughout their visit.
Fully stocked in every size & style
As one of the busiest aqua parks in the country, New Forest Aqua Park needed enough stock to last the whole season.
Because Taylor Made Designs partner with reliable European factories, we were able to deliver tens of thousands of pairs of socks to the site, and stand ready to deliver more as-and-when stocks run low.
Ben Jury, MD of New Forest Water Parks, had this to say:
“Thanks to TMD we now have a great sock design with uprated grip that our customers love. With a large UK stock, we never run out of socks thanks to their helpful team in Christchurch. Highly recommend TMD.”
