Wetsuit hanger products are a key addition to any watersports kit box. Whatever type of activity you’re getting up to in the brine drying your wetsuit is key. Not least because it means you’re ready to go again quick smart. But also because properly drying and looking after your wetsuit increases its longevity. This is better for your wallet – meaning you don’t have to shell out on a new wetty so soon. But also it’s better for the environment. Keeping petrochemical products out of landfill is one of our big focuses at EXIT.

The wetsuit hanger market currently.
There are many varieties of wetsuit hanger currently available. All of which look fairly conventional. Some brands utilise certain types and designs to help make them stand out the most.

Unfortunately, most other wetsuit hangers involve folding your wetsuit or putting undue stress on key areas like neck and shoulders. A good many also don’t have enough for proper ventilation. Fold lines can damage a wetsuit irreparably. Whilst a damp wetsuit is uncomfortable and not nice to put back on. Over time being continually damp will also impact your suit’s performance.
The unique and versatile XRail.
The EXIT XRail looks completely different from any other wetsuit hanger. Based on a surfboard shape it’s manufactured with recycled plastic. It has the very eye-catching hexagonal construction. Which is designed to aid ventilation.

Supporting up to 5kg in weight (enough for a wet wetsuit, boots, gloves and hood to hand) it won’t buckle, warp or deform under weight. Its unique design also ensures it can be used anywhere – especially if you use it in conjunction with the SUX suction up rail.
1. It’s all in the design.
When you first see the XRail we’re sure you’ll agree that it looks wildly different to any other wetsuit hanger on the market. Designed in the shape of a surfboard, with hexagonal cell construction there’s no question the XRail is eye-catching.
But there’s a method in the madness. Head designer and EXIT owner Kieran didn’t just cobble together any old product. The XRail is made the way it is to ensure your wetsuit is ventilated as much as possible. But without creasing or folding the neoprene. This is the fastest way to render a wetsuit unusable. Likewise, it’s not a hanger in the traditional sense as this can stress the shoulder and chest areas of wetsuits.
2. Sustainability is key.
As with our of EXIT’s wetsuit accessory products, the XRail has been created with sustainability in mind. Made from 100% recycled plastic its main aim is to dry wetsuits fast and efficiently. But this has wider ramifications as far as the environment goes.
Neoprene is inherently a toxic product. Most petrochemical materials are. And then there’s the actual assembling and manufacturing of wetsuits themselves. The watersports industry by and large isn’t that great for the planet. Which is why EXIT is doing its best to help. All our products and the way we operate is done in a sustainable way. On the one hand our products are made to help you and give you more comfort when you’re doing your thing. But the wider impact of EXIT water accessories to help the planet. Doing our bit – even if a little – all helps.
3. You can use the EXIT XRail wetsuit hanger anywhere.
This is an important point, as it means you don’t have to search for a fixing point. Instead, the XRail can be used anywhere you end up. At the beach, back at base, in your bathroom and so on and so forth.
A bunch of different fixing points means there’s no waiting around to start the drying process of your wetsuit. As soon as you’re out it’s a case of hanging it high to dry. That means it’ll be moisture free in time for your next session. While helping to preserve the integrity of the suit, quick smart.
4. The XRail wetsuit hanger has no limitations.
Some wetsuit hangers are constrained by their size. This means that if you’re a bigger boned individual your wetsuit may not fit. There’s no such issue with the XRail wetsuit hanger, however.
The width of the Xrail’s main arm will take any size of wetsuit. Plus, you can add your wetsuit gloves, hood and boots to get them dry as well. With its weight rating of up to 5kg the XRail is a tough and durable cookie that’ll get the job done without issue!
5. The XRail will save you money in the long run.
We’re well aware of how much watersports equipment in general costs. Whatever your discipline of choice is, it’s not cheap. Therefore any cost saving is a good thing. And the good news is the XRail will do just this. It was a consideration at the point of conceptualization.
As well as keeping wetsuits out of landfill unnecessarily lengthening the lifespan of your wetsuit will ensure no new rubbery purchases will be needed in the short term. A well looked after wetsuit will stand the test of time much better than a suit which is thrown about. And the XRail will certainly help.
6. The XRail isn’t just a consumer product.
As we keep saying the EXIT XRail wetsuit hanger is a versatile product. That can fit many different scenarios and applications. Whilst the everyday watersports enthusiast can get a lot out of using the XRail so can commercial watersports operations and businesses.
Perhaps you’re a diving company, or watersports rental and school. Entities such as these tend to have ‘fleets’ of wetsuits for their customers to use. Therefore being able to dry teh suits after use is a good idea. But also – again with cost saving in mind – not having to replace wetsuits after minimal use is advantageous. The Xrail therefore helps in this instance too.
Summing up.
The EXIT XRail wetsuit hanger is a cracking piece of design and functionality – even if we do say so ourselves. Whilst it addresses the problem of drying wetsuits fast and efficiently it also has sustainability and being better for the plant at its core.
