BRAND STORY BOOK
BRAND STATEMENT
Live Life Adventurously We are inspired by those that dare to explore. It is our responsibility to always provide protection from the elements, because life should be lived without limits. Count on Body Glove to equip you with the protection and confidence that you expect, to live adventurously.
History of the Brand The Meistrell brothers discovered neoprene, a substance used in refrigerator insulation, and began development of the first practical wet suit. They used this material to revolutionize the surfing and open water diving industry. The brothers bought 30 percent ownership each, of Dive N’ Surf. The surf shop remains in business today, and is the parent company to Body Glove. After buying the remaining ownership in the company, the Meistrell brothers led Body Glove to great success. In Sept 1990, Bob and Bill were inducted into the Hall of Fame as the Pioneers of Surfing Protection.
WHERE WE WERE
WHERE WE ARE GOING
OUR VOICE
Freedom When protected by Body Glove, our customers feel truly charged with the energy to accomplish anything they set out to in the outdoors. Definition / “Free of obstructions to sight, movement, or internal arrangement. Having no means of barring.“
Robust Our brand empowers people to be uninhibited in an active environment to enjoy life in the outdoors.
Lively
Definition / “Strong and effective in all or most situations and conditions. Rich and full-bodied.“
We ensure that our customers can remain energized and live their life outdoors, without any fear of the elements. Definition / “Full or suggestive of life or vital energy; active, vigorous, or brisk.”
Why the Bear? When we think about our brand, we think about being able to enjoy the outdoors, knowing that we are protected from the elements of the outdoors. The association of a momma bear protecting her cubs is global. A bear is an icon of strength and security. We want our customers to feel that same sentiment and protection, in association with our products and services. Paying close attention to the position and posture of our bear, we are not conveying aggression, or playfulness. Our bear is sending a message of confidence.
