Sick of wetsuits that let you down then the conditions hit prime time? The XCEL 4/3 Comp X Chest Zip Wetsuit comes fully loaded with Eco-Friendly Nanoprene Lite Japanese Limestone Neoprene, Thermo Dry Celliant from chest to ankles for increased blood flow, and flush-proof NexSkin ankle and wrist seals. Keep the stoke high when the waves are firing with a wetsuit that never calls it quits.
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.
Eco-Friendly Nanoprene Lite Japanese Limestone Neoprene – Unrivaled memory and rebound that is lighter, warmer, and softer than the average neoprene with 100% high-performance stretch for comfort and warmth.
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).
Channel Flex – Channel Flex is a Hydrophobic channeled textile which has superior stretch, reduced weight and repels water.
Engineered Fit System
Semi-Dry Zipper with Magnetic Closure – A zip closure with a silicone strip helps to prevent suit flushing.
49º - 58º 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.
Back Knee Flex Grooves – Articulated pre-bent knee with grooves to prevent folding behind the knee.
Glide Skin Collar – Durable smooth skin collar creating a water-tight seal to prevent flushing.
NexSkin Ankle and Wrist Seals – Liquid neoprene seals at wrist and/or ankles to prevent flushing.
FusionX 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 need for excess glue that causes irritation.
