The WETSOX team is a group of avid watermen from the North East. Whether we’re surfing, stand up paddling, diving or fishing, we’re spending a lot of time in the water and of course a lot of time in wetsuits. The struggle and frustration of putting on and taking off our cold water gear was a real one so we set out to develop a solution.

That solution? The WETSOX product line is born.
