Buy cheap wetsuits – but still quality and performance-oriented rubber.
NCW has its own branded wetsuits that suit many different types of watersports. If you didn’t already know, we design, test and manufacture wetsuits. Here in Cornwall, we’re in a prime location – 10 minutes from Polzeath – to test what we produce in a variety of situations. Surfing environments are a big one. But we also have a team of testers who help on that front.
When you buy cheap wetsuits from NCW you’re not purchasing something that’ll fall apart after a few sessions. Instead, you’re getting a quality suit that doesn’t cost the Earth, unlike with some brands. And yet, NCW wetsuits are very much comparable to those from bigger wetsuit companies.
Buy cheap wetsuits – this can also mean looking at quality second-hand wetsuits.
Good quality second-hand wetsuits do exist. It’s possible to purchase something pre-loved and have a wetty that still stands the test of time and performs great. For whatever watersports scenario you choose to throw it at. The good news is NCW does a fine line in used wetsuits that can also be described as cheap. Although we prefer the term ‘affordable’.
Those familiar with North Coast Wetsuits will know our in-house wetsuit repair and alterations service. Becci – our talented seamstress – knows a thing or two about fixing up tired neoprene and making wetsuits – in many cases – almost as good as new. Every second-hand wetsuit that comes into The Rubber Shack (NCW’s HQ) is vetted and overhauled before re-sale. You can be safe in the knowledge if you purchase a pre-loved wetsuit from us it’ll be as tip-top as can be.
Don’t buy low-quality wetsuits or wetsuit accessories.
There are many really cheap wetsuits you can buy on the market. Some can have attractive price points. Which in the times we live in can be perceived as a good deal. Yet a lot of these low-quality suits are almost one-use throw-away types. This isn’t great for a variety of reasons.
Firstly, when you buy cheap wetsuits that aren’t fit for purposes you’re wasting cash. Something with performance and longevity is much better. It’ll protect you more efficiently and keep you safe in the ocean. Secondly, neoprene ending up in landfill is harmful to the environment. Disposable wetsuits, in particular, discarded after one of two uses, aren’t exactly environmentally friendly. Petrochemical materials take years to break down and cause way more harm than good. A quality wetsuit that lasts is therefore a much better option. And it’s the same for wetsuit accessories like boots, gloves and hoods.
NCW – a UK homegrown wetsuit brand and surf shop.
NCW has been in existence since 2004. A family business, we’re our own wetsuit brand and surf shop. And always have been. Anything we sell – whether that be NCW wetsuits and accessories or third-party brand wetsuits – has to fit with the way we operate and our ethos.
This homegrown element is what makes us ‘real’. We’re not some big faceless brand just after your cash., Yes, we’re a business. And we have to make a profit. But we also look after our customers as well. This is why if you’re in the market to buy cheap wetsuits we can help. But we won’t sell you rubbish. As we’ve already said above.
It doesn’t end there though.
Another topic we’ve talked about often is the ability to alter wetsuits – even new ones. If you have any special requirements, with regards to wetsuit fit, we can most likely get it sorted. Seamstress Becci is able to change and modify all wetsuits we carry to make sure customers get the best product possible.
Wetsuits are sized on the average, unfortunately. But with the best will in the world we know that body shapes come in all variations. There is no standard. It could be a little thing like wetsuit arms being too long. Or the neck coming up too high.In which case Becci can set to work and alter your wetsuit to get the correct fit. As a service, we know this has proved invaluable to many NCW customers looking to buy cheap wetsuits in the past.
Summing up.
If you want to buy cheap wetsuits then NCW can certainly help. But you won’t get low quality. Instead, you’ll get a wetsuit that’s fit for purpose and will last you. Regardless of the activity you’re into.
