Hurley Swimwear
Hurley International has been around since 1979. The company got its start by young entrepreneurial spirit who also greatly enjoyed surfing, by the name of Bob Hurley. Hurley was always interested in creating a product that was useful to him, cheap, and easy on the eye. He ventured out on his business ideas when he was only 23 and about 31 years later the company is more successful than ever. The entire company is completely based around staying young and hip, music, skating, and surfing. So Hurley swimwear is definitely very popular with the surfing community, especially since it originated by a surfer. The Hurley swimwear is priced at about $50 dollars on average and stays pretty consistent with competitor pricing. The Hurley swimwear is available for both men and women. The women’s Hurley swimwear comes in many different sizes and shapes so there is a suit for every body type.
Hurley Bikini
The women’s Hurley swimwear comes in both the boy shorts as well as the Hurley bikini bottoms. The boy shorts are nice because they are a little bit longer and cover up the upper thigh for those who are a little body conscientious. The boy shorts are also nice for girls who surf, because they stay on the body way better and are more comfortable to move in. As far as looks go, the suits themselves have many abstract paint designs. It almost looks like someone tripped over a bunch of paint cans and the paint that slipped out landed on fabric. It is a very cool and trendy look that a lot of companies are using. The women’s Hurley swimwear also comes in variations of plaid.
As far as the men’s Hurley swimwear is concerned, they pretty much have the same look as the women’s apparel, minus the feminine look. The colors are brighter and the patterns or more distinct. Plus the men’s Hurley swimwear also comes with bright Hawaiian colors, which originally came out in the late 1990’s, but the style is still quite popular. The men’s Hurley board shorts actually extend to about the knee length, sometimes a tad bit longer, due to the fact they are made with surfing in mind. The whole reason surfers want and actually need the longer material made for the board shorts, such as the Hurley board shorts, is so that it helps protect the surfers leg from getting their hair ripped out by the wax board. Many surfers use wax on their board to help them stay on the board while they are paddling out into the water. Especially since the slightest wave can actually push a surfer off his or her board if the wax isn’t on it, just because the water makes the board so incredibly slippery.
Hurley Boardshorts
Aside from the long board shorts at Hurley, surfers will opt for the next best thing, or in this case” the best thing”, the Hurley wetsuits as an alternative. The Hurley wetsuits are used because of their amazing durability yet incredible flexibility. The materials used for the Hurley wetsuits are actually very light weight and dries at a way faster pace than most materials. The plus side to materials drying faster is the lack of chaffing (or getting a rash) a surfer will experience, and by lack of chaffing, comfortableness is added. Surfers tend to use the wet suits also when the water is too cold to touch with the naked skin. The wet suit acts a thermal barrier and works extremely well. The wet suits are available in both men as well as women sizes which is very convenient. Not only can you purchase an entire wet suit to cover you head to toe, but you can also purchase sections of a wet suit. For instance you could purchase just the wet suit top, or the vest portion, or even the wet suit pants. The wet suit partials sell for anywhere between $30 to $50 dollars on average (give or take), but if you want the whole entire wet suit it sells for $157 dollars, which is really good considering how much use you can get out of it and the standard to which it was made. The wet suit is very comfortable and stretchable to enhance mobility while riding waves and maneuvering in the water. If you are a surfer or you know someone who enjoys the sport, you can relate to and understand why the wet suit is a must have. Even when the water is warm enough, many surfers prefer the wet suit.
I suppose you could also purchase a Hurley wetsuit on an auction website for a lower price, if the price set through Hurley is too steep for you. If you have any questions on Hurley products you can visit their homepage for your answers.
