In 1953, twin brothers Bill and Bob Meistrell co-founded Body Glove when they designed the first practical wetsuit. Bill and Bob needed to find a way to combat California's cold water. They tried everything from wartime electrically heated flyers' suits to wool sweaters that lasted only as long as they were dry. Finally, in 1953, they discovered an insulating material used in the back of refrigerators. With this "neoprene" the Meistrell brothers fashioned the first practical wetsuits, and Body Glove was born. Now, with decades of product innovations and the philosophy of doing what you love, Body Glove remains dedicated to supporting people's passions in and out of the water.
