Body Glove

The legendary surf brand Body Glove, (one of very few family owned surf and dive brands), has an amusing story that began in a backyard pool in Booneville, Missouri. Twin brothers Bill and Bob Meistrell had always been intrigued with water, and at the tender age of fourteen, designed a diving helmet with a vegetable can and a tire pump. One boy swam at the bottom of the pool while he read magazines, and his sibling supplied air with the air pump on the surface. When the family moved to Manhattan Beach in 1944, the twins began surfing, a natural continuation of their love of water. After graduating high school, they became lifeguards, then were drafted in the Army. To make a very long story shorter, Bill and Bob Meistrell designed the first wetsuit that was actually practical. To help surfers survive California's cold water the Meistrells discovered the insulating material called neoprene. Buying into the Dive 'n Surf business gave "The Body Glove" its first home. 

Waterwear has been developed and diversified since then, and now includes women's swimwear in sexy bikinis sporting tropical florals, modest one-piece swimsuits; 80's throwback wetsuit separates and one-piece "paddle suits", all with the Body Glove logo; boardshorts and floaty, sheer cover-ups. 

Body Glove clothing also designs women's active and athleisure wear, including racerback sports bras, hoodies, tank tops, performance capris, shorts, and more.
