Finding the right gear for your next surfing adventure can often prove to be a challenge. There are a lot options to choose from so doing a little up front research can save you some time and money in the long run.

First you need to determine a few factors such as weather and water temperature. Once you’ve figured out these two factors you can decide of you’ll need to have rash guards for surfing in warm water regions or if you’ll need to have a wetsuit for cooler water areas. So know you have an idea of what type of clothing you’ll need for your trip will investigate how to pick the right brands.

Determining what brand often times depends on what product you are looking for and what you are willing to spend. For instance if you want to buy a rash guard and you want a high quality product at a reasonable price you would most likely get an O’Neill rash guard. O’Neill has a wide variety of rash guard and rash tee products which are known to be high quality but affordable.

Another plus about many O’Neill surf products is they often have sun protective clothing rating which is an added quality that helps protect your skin from the sun’s UV rays. Another factor growing in importance to customers is the environmental impact of a product.  For example many clothing products these days are made from recycled materials.  If you are search for environmental friendly surf products many Xcel rash guards and other surf clothing are made from bamboo. Xcel bamboo products are not entirely made from bamboo and recycled materials but are much friendlier to the planet than most clothing products.

Many of the same brands come into play when you are searching for a quality wetsuit. There are lots of different price points and quality levels when searching for a wetsuit. Rip Curl wetsuits are very popular in the surfing community and give you a great level of quality at a very reasonable price. The Rip Curl dawn patrol wetsuit series is an example of a great suit at a price most can afford. 

Another manufacturer making very nice wetsuit products is O’Neill Wetsuits. O’Neill makes a variety of quality suits which are known to last and look great for years. When buying a wetsuit or any type of surf clothing products it is extremely important to put in the time to ask around and perform extensive research to make sure you are getting the most for your money. Having the right gear goes a long way in making sure you have a successful surfing adventure!
