Aeroskin Worldwide

What Aeroskin Worldwide does

Aeroskin Worldwide is a privately held, San Francisco-based manufacturer of performance apparel for water sports activities, founded in 1995. The company designs and custom-makes a focused product portfolio that includes full-body diveskins and wetsuits, rashguards, pants, shorts, vests, socks, caps, hoods, swimsuits, and dive masks. Its underlying technology stack is physical rather than digital: specialized fabrics spanning 0.5mm Polyester, Lycra (nylon-spandex), and 1mm Neoprene, with proprietary treatments including embedded antimicrobial micro-spheres, UV-protected fabric, abrasion resistance, color control, and optional KEVLAR knee-pad reinforcement.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand via a Shopify storefront at aeroskinworldwide.com, with no disclosed wholesale, retail, or third-party distribution channels. Products are custom-made-to-order at the company's 953 Mission St. manufacturing facility in San Francisco and shipped within 24-48 hours via UPS, supported by a one-year workmanship warranty. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from $26 for caps to $190 for premium full-body suits with KEVLAR pads, with size and add-on-driven price variation. The customer base consists of individual water sports enthusiasts (divers, surfers, swimmers, kayakers, triathletes) purchasing for personal use across ten pattern collections. The company is co-founded by Cecil Listana and operates with 1-10 employees; no funding rounds, partnerships, M&A activity, or AI/technology hires are disclosed in the available data.
