A surf life saving club or a volunteer beach patrol runs on more than the rescue boards and flags at the tower. Members need a club identity that shows up at training sessions, fundraising nights, carnival days, and the drive to and from a shift. Getting that apparel does not have to mean chasing a wholesale minimum or guessing at sizes for a roster that changes every season.

Ordering Across a Full Patrol Roster

A patrol roster changes every season as members rotate in and out, age up out of a junior program, or join mid-year. Sharing a storefront link lets each member order their own size directly instead of the club collecting sizes on a sign-up sheet and placing one bulk wholesale order. There is no minimum, so a roster of 20 or 200 works the same way.

What This Is Not: A Safety Product Disclaimer

This is branded lifestyle apparel, cotton and performance polyester tees, polos, and hoodies. It is not certified rescue equipment, patrol uniform issued under a safety standard, or water-rated gear. Clubs should keep their official patrol uniform and safety equipment sourced through their governing body or existing supplier, and use a Bear Grips storefront for the member-facing apparel that sits around it.

Fundraising Through Club Apparel

A club sets its own retail price and keeps the margin above the VIP base cost on every piece sold. A tee retailing at $28 against a $19.88 to $23.88 base clears $4 to $8 per piece with zero inventory risk, a simple ongoing fundraiser line alongside the sausage sizzle and the raffle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this official patrol uniform or safety equipment?

No. This is branded lifestyle apparel, cotton and performance polyester tees, polos, and hoodies. Official patrol uniform and rescue equipment should come through the club's governing body or existing safety supplier.

Can a whole patrol roster order without the club collecting sizes?

Yes. Share the storefront link and each member orders their own size and color directly, with no minimum order and no roster spreadsheet needed.

What is the cheapest way to outfit a junior nipper program?

A youth cotton tee at $19.88 VIP base is the lowest-cost entry point for a junior program, with a youth hoodie at $36.88 for cold mornings.

Can the club keep a small margin as a fundraiser?

Yes. The club sets retail pricing and keeps everything above the VIP base cost on every piece ordered.
