INNOVATION, PERFORMANCE & AUTHENTICITY

65 years ago, the Meistrell brothers revolutionized surfing and diving with the first neoprene wetsuit. Today, the brand continues to develop authentic products with the same creativity & authenticity as when they started in 1953. It's this history of innovation and love of the ocean that inspires the quality products that have become the top choice of anyone with a love of sand, surf and snow.

The brand has generated a global following with their iconic Body Glove Hand Logo and seamless blending of function and style. Inspired by their legacy, Body Glove pledges to continually build products that enhance and protect both above and below the water's surface.
