There are many benefits to choosing an eco wetsuit over a wetsuit made from traditional neoprene, but for sure the biggest advantage is not having to pick between staying warm or contributing to the degradation of our natural world.
For eco-conscious surfers, this means that you can paddle and shred with peace of mind knowing that your wetsuit isn’t harming the very thing that you love. In addition, eco-friendly wetsuits often boast a number of other advantages such as being just as (if not more) comfortable, lightweight and long-lasting as traditional wetsuits.
Of course, we can’t avoid the fact that eco wetsuits are pricier compared conventional rubber wetsuits, but it’s forecasted that as demand grows and sustainable materials become more accessible, environmentally friendly wetsuits will also become more affordable.
