The advantage is that the price is lower and you can quickly increase sales with the help of the manufacturer's brand effect. The disadvantage is that the customer's loyalty will not be very high as they can buy it here and it is also available elsewhere.

2. Custom Wetsuits

You can require the wetsuit manufacturer to design and produce according to your own style, including material, size, LOGO printing, etc. The advantage is that you can have your own brand style and copyright, customer loyalty will be very high, and the wetsuit business is a niche market currently so the brand wetsuit can not meet people's requirements from everywhere. The disadvantage is that you need more costs for development and product promotion in the early stage. But the business would grow up quickly in the next future.
