Designed for cool water in the 46˚ - 53˚ F (8˚ - 12˚ C) range, the new XCEL 5/4mm Drylock Hooded Wetsuit sports several improvements that spell even better comfort. The 5/4 Drylock Hooded features Xcel's new Thermo Dry Celliant lining in key areas for better re-cycling of your own body heat. Drylock wrist seals and a 100% waterproof zipper seal the cold out, and FusionWeld technology gives you the best and most unrestrictive fit in the business.
TDC Thermo Dry Celliant Low Pile | Shoulders, Legs and Hood – TDC Thermo Dry Celliant is the warmest wetsuit lining ever. This revolutionary material features clinically proven Smart Fiber Technology that converts body heat into usable infrared energy for greater warmth, increased endurance, faster recovery, and enhanced overall performance. The infared printed low pile TDC delivers the ideal balance of warmth and flexibility.
TDC Thermo Dry Celliant High Pile | Chest – TDC Thermo Dry Celliant is the warmest wetsuit lining ever. This revolutionary material features clinically proven Smart Fiber Technology that converts body heat into usable infrared energy for greater warmth, increased endurance, faster recovery, and enhanced overall performance. The plush, high pile TDC ensures maximum core warmth. In surf fullsuits, this is an orange wave print.
100% UltraStretch Neoprene – Comfortable, lightweight neoprene with softer foam and a tighter woven textile for less water absorption, better durability and maximum stretch.
Quick Dry Fiber – Ultra fast drying, hydrophobic exterior repels water, allowing less water absorption for maximum warmth and minimal weight; excellent stretch and durability.
Texture Skin – Texture embossed rubber that provides excellent wind resistance - ideal for outer chest panels, hoods, and other areas that would otherwise lose warmth quickly.
Waterproof Drylock Entry System – The most advanced front entry system with a 100% waterproof Drylock zipper angled along the upper chest. The zipper flap is attached at the right shoulder to keep more water out. A Two-Part SmoothSkin Hem Seal on the left open shoulder forms a more complete, secure seal. The Magnetic Zip Closure allows for easier and quicker release than traditional snap locks. The inner Crosssover Neck Entry features overlapping panels that stretch to allow extra wide, step-in-through-the-neck entry.
Crossover Neck Entry – Overlapping inner front and back neck panels (underneath the zipper flap) stretch to allow extra wide, step-in-through-the-neck entry.
Magnetic Zip Closure – With double magnets on outer tab and attached flap--securely locks zipper in place, with easier and quicker release than traditional snap lock.
DuraFlex Knee Panels – Contoured, durable panels that stretch with you.
Back Knee Flex Grooves – Behind-the-knee cutouts for even more flexibility.
Less Seam = More Stretch – Smarter product design means minimizing seams to maximize stretch. Any seams used are always pre-bent and contoured for a truly engineered fit.
Cool – 8˚ -12˚ C (46˚ - 53˚ F)
FusionWeld Seams – The most durable, stitch-free, maximum all-way stretch seam construction. A glued seam is heat fused with a durable composite outside and seam taping inside for a fully leakproof seal.
Fusion Seam Technology – Inner waterproof stretch Fusion taping fuses seams together; used primarily in the upper body where maximum flexibility is required.
Glued & Blindstitched Seams – A fully sealed, maximum stretch seam construction that keeps water out. Neoprene panels are glued and pressed together, then blindstitched (needle doesn't fully penetrate neoprene, keeping water out).
NexSkin Seals – A thin band of liquid neoprene ("NexSkin") in the inner wrists and/or ankles forms an excellent seal, and helps minimize flushing.
Drylock Wrist Seals – Exclusive "donut seal" construction keeps water out and forms a snug, comfortable seal.
