We’ll Let Surfers Answer That.
1 in 3 ISURUS reviews specifically use the word "best" in their review:
The word "amazing" comes up a lot. Surfers tend to call out ISURUS wetsuits as being the warmest, most flexible and highest-performing wetsuits they've ever worn.
There are recurring themes and reasons that surfers who start wearing ISURUS wetsuits don't stop.
Apart from how many seasons they last, which is better for the environment and great for your wallet, ISURUS wetsuits are primarily designed to improve your surfing experience:
Most wetsuits try to keep the cold out.
ISURUS focuses on retaining and generating heat more efficiently.
Premium material combinations, advanced thermal technologies and a design philosophy obsessed with reducing heat loss all combine to make ISURUS the warmest wetsuits in the surf.
That means you can stay in the water longer, and surf colder days more comfortably.
It makes sense that surfers who want more comfortable surf sessions, more often consider ISURUS "the best".
A wetsuit shouldn't fight your body.
The less resistance to every paddle stroke and duck dive, the more energy you save for what matters: surfing.
ISURUS wetsuits are carefully designed to move naturally with your body, reducing restriction, improving recovery time, and helping you stay fresher throughout your session.
Surfers are amazed at how flexible ISURUS wetsuits are, and how much this improves their surfing experience.
Warmth and flexibility aren't just comfort features.
They directly impact fatigue.
When your wetsuit requires less energy to paddle, and your body spends less energy fighting the cold, you stay stronger for longer.
The result is simple: More waves. More progression. More of what you love.
No surfer throws the claim of "the best" around lightly (apart from the waves you didn't see).
it's a testament to our obsession and an honour that so many of our customers are recommended by other surfers.
There is no single element that enables ISURUS to create the "best" surfing wetsuits; it's a combination of design choices, material selection, testing and a healthy obsession.
ISURUS innovates by taking inspiration from outside the world of surfing to research new materials, collaborate with different suppliers and even emulate the natural world.
Fundamentally, the pillars that support us delivering the best wetsuits are an alchemy of these three things:
From the Japanese Yamamoto Limestone Neoprene to the Titanium Coating used in our warmest wetsuits, we've selected materials without compromise. We know from experience that combining the highest quality materials throughout our wetsuits ensures that they are the best. Our material choices allow us to make wetsuits that feature:
We don't use expensive premium materials for the sake of it. Each one has been tested against generic, cheaper materials to earn a place in our wetsuits, and this results in the best.
Sometimes it's the simple, boring stuff that really makes a difference. When we start talking about "patterns", surfers switch off, but the "cut" of our wetsuits is one of the design decisions that makes it worth using premium materials.
Three things we do that combine to create the best wetsuits:
We opted for less panels and seams in our wetsuits because whilst this increases the cost, it has a huge impact on reducing restriction when paddling.
We were also the first surfing wetsuits to introduce "arms-up" design. Most upper body clothing is designed for arms hanging by your side. But by designing a wetsuit with the neutral position being "arms-up" - it reduces fatigue when paddling.
The bio-mechanical lat panelconnects from the hip all the way to the elbow, giving a freedom of movement that other wetsuit companies don't.
These three major design choices are complimented by many other decisions across our collections to build the best wetsuits in surfing.
We take the time to work closely with our ambassadors to get feedback from those in the surf. Customer feedback is highly appreciated, but guys & girls surfing and filming 6-8 hours a day in our gear give us unmatched input.
We test our products in the surf rigorously before releasing them, the focus being on improvements that make our products better, not gimmicks that give us some marketing edge.
We're lucky enough to have a mix of ages, backgrounds, nationalities and disciplines in our team and wider testing network.
