What do you wear under a wetsuit?
Let’s be honest, a surfer’s most important and prized piece of equipment is their surfboard-hands down. But what a surfer or ocean lover wears in the water is right up there with their board in terms of importance, unless they want to paddle out in the nude. In all seriousness, when hitting the line-up, wearing boardshorts that fit, are comfortable and stay on, are a MUST in warm water. A wetsuit with properly-sealed, taped or glued seams is also essential in cooler or cold water, or you aren’t going to last very long. However, is there something to wear under a wetsuit?
Well what do you wear inside a wetsuit, you ask? As a team of ocean enthusiasts who have clocked a lot of water time in our own lives, we decided to create this wetsuit liner product to wear under under your wetsuit to protect your lower half from chaffing – like a rash guard from the waist down.
Think of the times you’ve been in the water and were too hot or cold, your boardshorts were chafing, or a piece of equipment was failing you. A bummer, right? No one wants to paddle in when some part of their gear goes awry. Just as you might opt to wear a rash guard under your wetsuit if your neck was bothering you, these amphibious compression shorts are a great wetsuit liner that will give you a sense of peace about those areas we don’t want to have to worry about chafing.
