Body Glove: Revolutionizing Men’s Surfing, Again And Again

Body Glove founders Bill and Bob Meistrell revolutionized mens surfing when they designed the first practical wetsuit back in 1953. Using an obscure insulating material called neoprene, then sourced from the refrigeration industry, the Meistrell twins fashioned the first wetsuits that were functional and wearable, allowing surfers and other water enthusiasts to stay warm and comfortable while they seized the waves. For the last six decades, Body Glove has continued this dedication toward innovation and performance. One of the few family-owned brands of surf and dive gear still around, Body Glove focuses not only on making stellar products to suit the needs of watermen everywhere, but also on continuing its history of involvement and interaction within the communities we serve.

This combined focus on high performance and community feedback has led to the development of many groundbreaking mens surfing products, and no single product represents the Body Glove mission better than the PR1ME Wetsuit. Representing nearly 60 years of evolution in wetsuit design, the PR1ME family of wetsuits continues Body Glove’s tradition of innovation and excellence with high-tech materials, superior construction, and unbeatable features. These wetsuits are made from a blend of high-performance materials, including the super stretch EVOflex composite, and advanced Pyrostretch insulation to keep you warm from the chest down. For added comfort, the PR1ME Wetsuit also has an interior Glideskin neck.

The PR1ME Wetsuit is a favorite among surfers everywhere including Body Glove Team Riders Jamie O’Brien, Alex Gray, Anthony Walsh, Nate Yeomans and more. Super flexible and light, these suits are anatomically cut, featuring fused edges on the unfinished collar and cuffs, and double-lock S-seals on the wrists and ankles. Vaporlock seams provide a 100 percent exterior fluid seal. The enhanced top-entry design features a slanted zipper for easy ingress and egress, and Nano Tritec kneepads for maximum flexibility without compromising protection or durability. Together the PR1ME Wetsuit’s killer combination of high-tech materials, awesome construction quality, and unique features make it the absolute best wetsuit out there.

In addition to making the top wetsuit in mens surfing, Body Glove offers a variety of other products for the water enthusiast, from mens boardshorts and mens surfing shorts (great for warm weather surfing and hanging out on the beach) to cold-water accessories such as booties and hoods. Always in the pursuit of excellence, and with a finger on the pulse of the surfing communities everywhere, Body Glove will continue to establish itself as the world’s ultimate water sports brand.
