Need Essentials

This is the best wetsuit I have ever worn.
Before this purchase I wasn't able to last in the water longer than 45 minutes without freezing. Since purchasing the Need Essentials wetsuit I can surf for hours with not even a shiver. It keeps me so warm, it’s also quite flexible and comfortable to wear. I purchased the 4 / 3 Liquid Taped Thermal Chest Zip wetsuit, I can’t express how happy I am with the purchase. Perfect for the Tasmanian surf in colder waters. Highly recommend!

Haven't worn it yet so cant speak about the wetsuit it self. But the sales and service is insanely good. I ordered it on Thursday at 2pm and to my surprise it was delivered at 11am the next day in Nowra. Go need essentials with there super fast order process and star tracks shipping was just mind boggling. Will do an update regarding the product once its had some hours under use.

I wore O'Neil wetsuits for 20 years, but now I wear NeedEssentials: Fits perfectly. Quality is great. Price is great. Delivery was overnight. No unnecessary junk in the compostable bag. Love it.

Love the products, love what they stand for and how they operate their business. Not just for surfing - the wetsuits are great for sailing/racing and waterproof bags do the job

Fantastic customer service. Great little find. Limited selection but that’s all you need. Wetsuit is super thick, warm and very comfortable to wear. Highly recommend needessentials…

Great little store. Very impressed and great quality surf goods at reasonable prices. Never buying rip curl wet suits again.

Been surfing for 30 years and always tried to get the best suit each Winter to deal with cold Vicco cold. Over the last few years mates were telling me to try a NEEDS but i thought they were to cheap to be any good. I heard Ryan speaking on Surf Splenor podcast and thought it was time to try one. Ordered a 4/3 Thermal at lunchtime and it was on my front porch when i arrived home the next day. Blown away by the service and the quality of the suit. After a cold snap a few weeks ago i went and brought a 4/3 sealed hooded suit from the warehouse when i was driving through Torquay - 2 wetties cheaper than my last winter suit cost me. Cheers needs.

Great wetsuits - just ordered another one - booties and leg ropes All at very good prices.
Service has been excellent.

One of the best kept secrets on the coast. If you want a great quality wetsuit at a good price, skip the big name stores in Surf City and get yourself to needessentials. We heard about them through local surfers and have never looked back.

Great wetsuits at very good prices. I had an issue with mine and they were very quick to resolve it and easy to deal with. I would definitely recommend

These guys sent me the wrong product - cost me $30 + $5 postage. I complained to them and all they offered was for me to return the item at my cost and then refund me the $30 only. I told them this was unfair since it was their fault - so they just did not respond- really poor. If that was me I would have refunded the $35 and reimbursed the additional $10 for return postage.

Ordered 4pm Wednesday.arrived 10 am Thursday.unbelievable service and great price on a very well made wetsuit. Thx to the team for advising perfectly on correct size to choose. Fits like a glove and looks great. Thank You!

I have bought 2 wetsuits from Needessentials now and I could not be happier. The most comfortable and warm wetsuits I have ever worn and the prices are great. Their online shop is easy to navigate and the postage is real quick. I am stoked.

Thanks team- great suits and amazing service. Minor issue with 1 panel on 2 month old wettie- awesome warm suit. Team at needessentials completely replaced with new suit by return post. Been surfing kayaking diving and swimming for 40 years. Have had 5 different wetsuits from needessentials and strongly recommend for all water sports. Brad

Bought two thermal suits, arrived in 2 days! I stuffed up on my size, rang them up, great customer service,! Brett and Chooka, they got onto it straight away, refund part of my payment within mins got the right size and delivered in 2 days. The suits are 10/10 quality, looking to buy some accessories.definitely recommend here, before a named brand.

Just picked up my new wetty today. Looking forward to getting in the surf in it. Perfect fit, great quality, good service, good price.

Called up, spoke with Chris and he sorted me out completely. Less than two days later and my new wetsuit arrived! Phenomenal service and love the suit! Perfect timing for winter. I'll be shopping here again for sure. Thanks!

Recently bought some new wetsuits from these guys and they were fantastic to deal with. Had to make a size exchange which was easy and no hassle. The manufacturing quality is noticeably better than other big name branded suits I've bought in the past. Easily the warmest and most comfortable wetsuit I've ever purchased. Great price. Highly recommended.

This is a great 21st century business. Ethics, fantastic staff and a quality product all delivered for a low price. Very happy with my suit and I will be a repeat customer.

I swear by these wetties.
Hard to believe the quality for price until you slip ya body into one for yourself, and you won’t be disappointed.
I bought a 4: 3 thermal and I’ve never had any issues with it, it has great flexibility, it keeps me snug and warm and it looks fresh as.
If I ever get bitten by a shark and it tears, I’m buying the same one from needs essentials again
Get on it and get in it.
