Dakine Wetsuits
Dakine wetsuits has set out on a mission to push the wetsuit market forward, and with that comes responsibility to design suits that are better for the planet. This ethos is the centre of Dakine’s design standards now and in the future, as its team of designers start to think about the seasons ahead.
Introducing Dakine: Premium Wetsuits for Every Surf Adventure
When it comes to surf gear, few brands carry the legacy of Dakine. Founded in 1979 in Hawaii, Dakine started by designing surf leashes. Since then, the brand has evolved into a global name, trusted by surfers, snowboarders, and outdoor adventurers. Today, Dakine continues to innovate with one mission: to equip passionate riders with durable, high-performance gear. Among its most exciting offerings is its high-quality wetsuit range, crafted for serious surfers and weekend warriors alike.
Dakine suits are built on years of design expertise and rider feedback. These suits combine advanced materials, expert craftsmanship, and ocean-tested technology. Whether you're paddling into overhead barrels or catching your first waves, Dakine suits deliver comfort, warmth, and flexibility. They are engineered to keep you in the water longer, even when the temperatures drop.
Innovation Meets Sustainability
Dakine suits stand out because of their unique blend of performance and eco-conscious design. The brand uses limestone-based neoprene, a more sustainable alternative to petroleum-based rubber. This material is lightweight, stretchy, and highly durable. It also reduces the environmental impact associated with traditional wetsuit production.
Many of Dakine’s suits also feature recycled linings and water-based glues. These choices help reduce harmful emissions and water waste. Dakine proves that high-performance surf gear doesn’t need to come at the planet’s expense. Their commitment to sustainability resonates with surfers who care about the oceans they ride in.
Designed for Every Condition
From chilly winter mornings to warm summer sessions, Dakine offers wetsuits for all water temperatures. Their Cyclone and Mission series are the brand’s flagship lines. Both are packed with technical features designed for optimal performance.
The Cyclone series is engineered for cold water. These wetsuits come with thick neoprene layers and fully taped seams. The suits also have quick-drying thermal linings that retain body heat and reduce chill. Surfers can rely on the Cyclone to stay warm without sacrificing mobility.
The Mission series is ideal for moderate to warm water. These wetsuits offer a perfect balance of warmth and flexibility. They feature minimal panel design and advanced stretch zones, allowing for easy paddling and natural movement.
No matter the model, Dakine suits are built to fit like a second skin. Their ergonomic design molds to the body and prevents water flushing. This snug fit improves heat retention and helps surfers stay focused on their performance.
Comfort and Durability
Comfort is at the core of every Dakine wetsuit. Soft, quick-drying linings keep the inside of the suit warm and cozy. High-stretch neoprene in key areas allows surfers to move freely without restriction. The suits also feature easy-entry chest zips that reduce bulk and improve seal performance.
Durability is another hallmark of the brand. Dakine suits are double-stitched, glued, and taped at stress points. This construction method ensures long-lasting use, even under heavy conditions. Whether you’re a daily dawn patroller or an occasional wave rider, Dakine wetsuits are built to endure.
Trusted by Pros
Dakine’s wetsuit range is backed by some of the most respected names in surfing. Team riders like Albee Layer and Eli Olson help test and refine each model. These pros rely on Dakine wetsuits to perform at the highest level. Their input ensures that every suit meets the demands of the modern surfer.
Professional endorsement gives extra confidence to everyday surfers. If a Dakine wetsuit can withstand the reef breaks of Hawaii, it can handle your local spot too.
