The best wetsuit hanger – sustainable and eco-friendly.
One of the big reasons the Exit XRail is the best wetsuit hanger on the market is because of its sustainable eco-friendly properties. These are elements Exit owner and head designer Kieran Sammon wanted to build into the XRail as key USPs.

The XRail is made 100% from recycled plastic materials. And all the packaging Exit uses is minimal and plastic-free. As much as possible we want to help reduce the waste within the watersports industry, offset the carbon footprint of riding boards and be as kind to the planet as we can be. Making a small difference leads to bigger change after all.
More than just a wetsuit-drying product.
Keeping sustainability and eco-friendliness in mind the other BIG point to consider with the Exit XRail is how the best wetsuit hanger dries your wetsuit. The XRail was created to minimise waste. This includes mitigating any wetsuit damage and avoiding watersports riders throwing their suit away and petrochemical neoprene ending up in landfill.

The XRail’s long, wide and curved design means your wetsuit can be draped over it to dry. This avoids any folding and takes the strain away from the neck and shoulder areas of your suit. Using a conventional hanger means these parts of your wetty get worn down quickly. And in a lot of cases can result in your suit being damaged. This then leads to the aforementioned scenario of your wetsuit being thrown away.
Even and efficient ventilated wetsuit drying.
Created with internal hexagonal cells Exit’s XRail aims to dry your wetsuit efficiently. Ventilation is evenly distributed with air flowing freely between layers. This gets your wetsuit ready and moisture-free for that next session pronto.
The XRail won’t buckle under weight up to 5kg. And it can also take – via the bungee clips on the underside – your wetsuit accessories. Gloves, boots and hood can all be dried in the same way and at the same time as your wetsuit. Yet there are no ‘sticky out bits’ meaning the XRail can be stored discreetly and easily when not in use.
A variety of wetsuit drying options.
The best wetsuit hanger Exit could come up with had to be versatile. This is why there are numerous ways to hang the XRail and dry your wetsuit. It doesn’t matter whether you’re outdoors at the beach, on holiday somewhere or back at home. The options are abundant.
Originally the XRail was created with hanging from a shower pole in mind. The cantilever hook at the back, however, can fit to any upright tubular object. The Exit SUX suction up rail was a product added as an XRail add-on and with mobility in mind. You can use the XRail in conjunction with the SUX anywhere there’s a smooth flat surf for the SUX to stick to. And at the rear of the XRail there’s a notch for the hanger to sit on a screw in the wall. Or use the HUX to hang the XRail vertically.
The XRail is built to last.
Another sustainability point is that the XRail is built to last. We wanted to make sure that no matter how much abuse it receives the best wetsuit hanger available won’t fail. You can chuck it about and treat the hanger terribly. But it won’t fail! We’re confident of that.
Other wetsuit hangers aren’t quite so robust. They bend and warp over time. And certainly won’t carry the same weight the XRail does. So you may end up with a damaged wetsuit and the need to replace your hanger. That’s double bubble in terms of unnecessary cost and isn’t great for the environment either.
The best wetsuit hanger you should own!
Exit’s XRail is indeed the best wetsuit hanger you should own. For all the reasons mentioned in this article. Efficiency, sustainably and cost-effectiveness all make it a worthy purchase and reason to add it to your watersports kit box.
