Body Glove was founded in 1953 by identical twins Bill and Bob Meistrell in Redondo Beach, CA. They were always interested in the water, and even crafted a rudimentary scuba helmet out of an oil can, tar, glass, and a bicycle pump so that they could explore their family farm. When they moved to California and borrowed money to start a dive shop, they decided to craft a form-fitting garment out of neoprene to insulate from the cold of the water, creating the first practical wetsuit.
