Wetsuit Sale

Why are these wetsuits on sale?

Usually because a newer version came out, a color is being retired, or we're down to the last couple of sizes. That's it. Every suit here is new, never worn, and built the same as when it was full price. Wetsuit makers update linings and seams over time, but a well-made suit from last season still keeps you just as warm today.

How do you find a good wetsuit deal?

• Start with your size. Sale stock is limited, so filter by size before you fall for a suit. A great price on the wrong fit isn't a deal.
• Match the thickness to your water. A 3/2 for warmer months and a 4/3 or hooded 5/4/3 for winter.
• Look at what you're getting. Sale prices often put warmer, better-lined suits, like Manera's Meteor Magma or Body Glove's Heritage, into a mid-range budget.
• Try it on if you can. Our six shops can help you check fit before you buy.

Winter wetsuits on sale

The best time to grab a warmer suit is before the water drops. Look for hooded 5/4/3 and 6/4 suits like Manera's Meteor Magma, which Manera says its cold water team wears in Iceland, Vancouver and Sweden, plus 4/3 chest zips from Body Glove and O'Neill. Add a thin neoprene base layer under your current suit if you just need a little more warmth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good price for a wetsuit?

A quality 3/2 or 4/3 fullsuit is a real investment at full price, which is why the sale is worth checking first. On sale, you can often get a suit from that range, or even a premium one, for a lot less. Entry-level suits are the most affordable, even at full price.

Are sale wetsuits new?

Yes. Everything in our wetsuit sale is new and unworn. They're discounted because they're past-season models, retiring colors or the last sizes of a style.

Where can I find cheap wetsuits?

Start here. Our sale section has new suits from Manera, Body Glove, O'Neill and Xcel at reduced prices. For the lowest price on a brand-new current suit, look at entry models like the Xcel Axis or O'Neill Bahia in our main wetsuit section.

Do wetsuits actually keep you warm?

Yes, when they fit right. Neoprene traps a thin layer of water against your skin, and your body warms it up. A suit that's too loose lets cold water flush through, so fit matters as much as thickness.

What's the difference between a men's and women's wetsuit?

The cut. Women's suits are shaped for narrower shoulders and a different chest and hip ratio, so they seal better with no loose spots. The materials and thickness options are the same.

What do women wear under a wetsuit?

Most wear a bikini or a one-piece, which makes changing on the beach easier. Some wear nothing at all. For extra warmth on cold days, a thin neoprene or thermal layer works well.

What do you do if you have to pee in a wetsuit?

Most surfers just go. It happens more than anyone admits. Just rinse the suit inside and out with fresh water when you get home, and give it a wetsuit shampoo every few uses.

Do you have winter wetsuits on sale?

Often, yes. Look for hooded 5/4/3 and 6/4 suits and 4/3 chest zips in the sale section. Stock and sizes change quickly, especially in fall.
