Hotline Wetsuits Showroom

I came here after I had purchased a cheaper wetsuit, by a different brand, which did not keep me warm for more than 10 minutes. I had heard plenty of good things about Hotline suits so I decided to stop by the showroom to check it out. There was one guy in the place who was very kicked back. He directed me to the specific suit I was looking for. I tried it on and ended up not feeling to crazy about it. I wasn’t expecting leaving the showroom with a suit, I was just frustrated with the sizing and if you’ve ever tried on suits, you know how tiring it can be. Then the rep asked me about the fit and helped me pick out different sizes in a different styles. I finally tried on the perfect size! It fit like it was custom made for me. The neoprene was butter soft and stretchy. I left a happy buyer! Love the fact that these suits are also locally made. Keeps me warm and comfortable in the water! For reference, I purchased the women’s relfex ⁴⁄₃. Will be purchasing from Hotline again in the future!

After weeks of trying on wetsuits, researching on the net, then trying on more wetsuits again and again I finally narrowed my search down to Hotline. The website outlines the available products and the sizing chart is accurate. Trying on the suit was easy enough although the changing rooms are a bit small. If you wear your bathing suit there to try on the wetsuit you don’t really need the changing room anyway. They even let me bring my stupid dog in with me so that I didn’t have to leave him tied up outside.
Anyway, coudn’t recommend this business more. Spot on!
Fun note: Hotline got some free product placement in this aerial video of Santa Cruz’ Steamer Lane that went virai in summer 2013.

P. S. I almost forgot, they have a swap meet in the parking lot first Saturday each month. Various people come and sell their used stuff. NIce. Call in advance because sometimes they have to reschedule

Without Hotline my surfing sessions would be much shorter. They are one of the only companies that make wetsuits that fit real men.
