Aug
Whether it’s surfing, kayaking, swimming, snorkelling, or some other water sport, summer is the peak time for people getting out and enjoying the water.
Wetsuits are a necessary evil for many of these sports. No one likes putting them on… taking them off is even worse! But, if you’re spending time in the water, you need one.
However, too few people think about how best to hang a wetsuit. They’re heavy, they’re often wet, most hangers aren’t up to the task. So they often get hung over a wall, or a fence, or a shower screen, or a car, the branch of a tree, or somewhere else less than ideal.
With the right hanger, your wetsuit will dry quicker and be protected from damage.
But what are the best hangers for wetsuits? Although specialist options do exist, The Hanger Store stocks several options that are effective and affordable.
Here are the Best Hangers For Wetsuits available at The Hanger Store:
1. Plastic Heavy-Duty Multipurpose Hanger
One of our most popular and versatile hangers. Our range of Plastic Heavy-Duty Multipurpose Hangers comes in various colours and is strong enough to hang wetsuits.
The photo above shows them in use at Nichol End Marine in the Lake District, where they are used to hang wetsuits, life jackets and buoyancy aids every day.
Many plastic hangers are not particularly strong and certainly not able to hang a wetsuit. These however, are extremely tough and durable, and have the added bonus of being made in UK just a few miles from our HQ.
2. Non-Slip Metal Open-Ended Hanger
This underrated hanger style is primarily designed for trousers, but is well suited to many other garment types, accessories, and household items. It is also a really good hanger for wetsuits.
The open end makes it easy to slide a dripping wet wetsuit onto the hanger. Also, it is a strong and durable hanger that won’t snap and will keep going for years to come.
3. Black Plastic Suit Hanger
Although these are designed for suits, these hangers are super-strong and broad ended, making them a great option for wetsuits.
An added bonus is the swivel hook.
4. Non-Slip Metal Suit Hanger
Like the previous hanger, this one is primarily designed for suits, but is another excellent option for hanging wetsuits.
Both the arms and the trouser bar can be used, there are additional hooks (good for accessories like wetsuit gloves?), they have broad ends to preserve the shape of the wetsuit and aid drying, and the strong metal won’t let you down. This hanger also has a swivel hook.
5. Luxury Whitewash Beechwood Jacket Hanger
Probably our most premium and solidly built hanger, this looks and feels a cut above the rest.
Usually reserved for the very best garments, this hanger is also really well suited to hanging wetsuits.
The solid beechwood is built to last, and also has an extra-chunky hook, which swivels 360-degrees. Therefore, it is more than up to the demands of hanging a heavy, dripping wetsuit.
It is also a more sustainable option, being made from FSC-certified wood from sustainably managed forests.
