Body Glove

Body Glove

Bob and Bill Meistrell, the brothers who founded Body Glove, have always loved water… a passion that took them from the farm ponds of Missouri to the beaches of L.A.'s South Bay, where they discovered the thrill of surfing. In 1953 they borrowed $1800 and bought out the Dive 'n' Surf shop, eventually turning it into the top surfing and diving retail establishment in Southern California. Their search for a better wetsuit led them to develop neoprene, which in turn led to the invention of the first truly practical wetsuit. Stretchy, comfortable and warm, it opened up Southern California to year-round surfing. Water enthusiasts loved the suits which “fit like a glove” and so the name Body Glove was born. Innovation and cutting-edge design technology continues to drive Body Glove’s manufacture of wetsuits, PFDs and technical accessories for water lovers everywhere.

Body Glove 3/2 mm Pro II Spring Wetsuit (For Women)
 
Hawaii here I come...

Comfortable
Cons:
Hard To Put On Or Off

Diving
Describe Yourself:
Casual User
Bottom Line:

Comments:
So I haven't had a chance to try this out in the water yet. I will try to put an update once it gets a proper use. The fit was very important for me. I actually tried a couple of different wetsuits until I found the one I wanted to keep. This one fits me well. The only complaint is that if you have large hips that it may be a bit difficult to get on. They have purposefully made the zipper a bit shorter to make the suit warmer but that means it is tighter going over the hips. This one was still better than the other brands I tried on though. Overall it is comfortable. Price can't be beat! I plan on using it for diving in Hawaii in Nov and April.

Body Glove Aura Lycra® Rash Guard Shirt - Long Sleeve (For Women)

Paddling, Racing
Describe Yourself:
Competitive Athlete
Length:

Bottom Line:

Comments:
Rash guard shirts are supposed to be tight, but I could have considered going 1 size larger (got the small - I'm 110 lbs, so generally thought of as small), although once I'm in the boat, I did not notice the fit of the shirt one way or another. Nice long sleeves. If you're shy about how your body looks & are going to be around other people when wearing it, you may want a slightly looser garment. It is comfortable. I use it when training/racing in canoes, kayaks, surfskis & outriggers.

I used it for a sprint triathlon swim. The water ended up not being so cold, but the air temp was and this helped me when I was standing waiting to get in. It didn't really affect my ability to swim at all and it felt comfortable.

The watch was waaaay bigger then the images make it appear, huge in fact. I don't mind it and it doesn't take away from the watches style just be prepared. Also the crown is suppose to screw in the the watch to ensure water resistance mine does not. I did not plan to dive or surf with it anyway so no matter, but again FYI.
