How do I Iterate through different tag names (h3) and compare their text using selenium and python?

My goal is to find a product listing by its name then click on it. Currently I want to iterate through all the text with the tag name h3 using a for loop and end the loop when the text is equal to the product I want. Now obviously, my code currently finds the very first listing then iterates through the characters in the string. What I want it to do is iterate through the different elements and pull out their text. I would appreciate any suggestions and will be quick to answer any questions. Thank you!

Code:

from selenium import webdriver

PATH = "/Users/devinhadley/Desktop/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.set_window_size(200, 200)
driver.get("https://shop-usa.palaceskateboards.com/")

elements = []
elements = driver.find_element_by_tag_name("h3").text


for element in elements:
    print(element)
    if element = "PERTEX PACKET JACKET GREY"
        print("Done")

Try this:

from selenium import webdriver

PATH = "/Users/devinhadley/Desktop/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.set_window_size(200, 200)
driver.get("https://shop-usa.palaceskateboards.com/")

elements = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name("h3")

for element in elements:
    if element.text == "PERTEX PACKET JACKET GREY":
          print(element)

Update: I opened the webpage and I realized that find_elements_by_tag_name("h3") won't work. The following will do:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

PATH = "/Users/devinhadley/Desktop/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.set_window_size(200, 200)
driver.get("https://shop-usa.palaceskateboards.com/")

elements=WebDriverWait(driver, 2).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, '//div[@data-alpha]')))

for element in elements:
    
    if element.get_attribute('data-alpha') == "PERTEX PACKET JACKET GREY":
    
          print(element.get_attribute('data-alpha'))
          element.click()

If you want to click on a particular element, you can either do element.click() inside the for loop or elements[0].click(), for example, if you want to click the first element.
