body glove

Founded in 1953 by twin brothers Bill and Bob Meistrell in Redondo Beach, California, Body Glove is a cornerstone of American surf culture, widely credited with inventing the first practical neoprene wetsuit. What began as a solution to combat California’s cold waters—fitting “like a glove”—evolved into a global lifestyle brand that democratized water sports for generations. Today, the brand balances its rich heritage with a focus on accessible performance, offering everything from professional-grade wetsuits to family-friendly swimwear and paddleboards.
