When the weather outside is frightful but the swell is so delightful, reach for your XCEL 5.5/4.5 Comp X TDC Hooded Wetsuit and throw down in chilly waters. Thermo Dry Celliant is a mineral based smartfiber that reflects your own body heat while increasing blood flow. Fusion X heat-pressure bonded seam tape and triple glued and blind stitched seams along with a glide skin collar and nexskin cuff and ankle seals work to minimize flushing, while the one piece front and back panels maintain excellent mobility for a thicker cold water suit.
Nanoprene Lite Japanese Limestone Neoprene – Nanoprene Lite uses earth-minded limestone to replace processed petrochemicals in the neoprene for a reduced dependence on petroleum. It is soft, light, warm, and has unrivaled memory and rebound.
Thermo Dry Celliant (TDC) Neck to Ankle – A mineral-based fiber woven into a smart textile increases blood flow to muscle tissue by transferring the body's naturally produced heat.
100% Performance Stretch Neoprene – A multi-directional weave with Spandex blended for superior stretch and performance.
Dope-Dyed Yarn – Dope-dying infuses dye pigments into a molten plastic solution to produce colored yarns without the dyeing process. This saves tremendous amounts of water while reducing energy consumption and water pollution.
Water-Based Glue – XCEL turned solvent-based laminating glue into water-based glue, eliminating harmful, volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
New Entry System for Easy On/Off
Semi-Dry Zipper with Magnetic Closure – A zip closure with a silicone strip helps to prevent suit flushing.
Back Knee Flex Grooves – Articulated pre-bent knee with grooves to prevent folding and bunching.
One Piece Front and Back Panels
Engineered Fit Design
40° - 50° F
Triple Glued and Blind Stitched Seams – A water-tight seam construction where foam edges are glued multiple times before being slammed together creating an air and water tight seal, then stitched a quarter way through the foam to give it the strength needed.
Fusion X Seam Tape – The next generation precision tape technology, applied by a machined heat-pressure process which bonds tape directly to suit ensuring maximum seam durability while eliminating the need for excess glue that causes irritation.
Glide Skin Collar – A durable, smooth skin collar creates a water-tight seal to prevent flushing.
NexSkin Wrist and Ankle Seals – Liquid neoprene seals at wrist and/or ankles to prevent flushing.
Always rinse thoroughly inside and out with fresh water after every use. Hang to dry.
