With premium features and top of the line TDC SmartFiber Technology, the XCEL 4/3mm Drylock TDC Hooded Wetsuit is one of the best wetsuits money can buy. From the stretchy, lightweight feel of its UltraStretch neoprene, to the warmth of the low/high pile Thermo Dry Celliant linings, to the fully taped and welded seams. If you're an experienced surfer who demands nothing short of the best in wetsuit performance, look no further than the XCEL 4/3mm Drylock TDC Hooded Wetsuit.
100% UltraStretch Neoprene – Comfortable, lightweight neoprene with softer foam and a tighter woven textile for less water absorption, better durability and maximum stretch.
100% QDF Quick Dry Fiber Exterior – Ultra fast drying, hydrophobic exterior repels water, allowing less water absorption for maximum warmth and minimal weight; excellent stretch and durability.
TDC Thermo Dry Celliant High Pile [Front & Back Torso] – Fast drying, lightweight, and naturally hydrophobic, TDC is XCEL's warmest wetsuit lining ever, and an XCEL exclusive found nowhere else in the market. TDC's clinically proven Smart Fiber Technology converts your body heat into infrared energy for maximum warmth, increased endurance, faster recovery, and enhanced overall athletic performance. The plush, high pile TDC ensures maximum core warmth. In surf fullsuits, this is an orange wave print. In dive fullsuits, this is a white/red diamond print.
TDC Thermo Dry Celliant Low Pile [Shoulders and Lower Legs] – Fast drying, lightweight, and naturally hydrophobic, TDC is XCEL's warmest wetsuit lining ever, and an XCEL exclusive found nowhere else in the market. TDC's clinically proven Smart Fiber Technology converts your body heat into infrared energy for maximum warmth, increased endurance, faster recovery, and enhanced overall athletic performance. The infared printed low pile TDC delivers the ideal balance of warmth and flexibility.
V Foam – The most lightweight, premium foam available; significantly lighter, stretchier, and softer than standard foams.
Wind-Resistant Texture Skin Front & Back Torso – 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.
Magnetic Zip Closure – Innovative, quick release zipper closure features double magnets on the zipper pull tab and attached flap that securely lock zipper in place, for easier and quicker release than traditional snap locks.
DuraFlex Knee Panels – Comfortable, durable knee panels that stretch with you.
Back Knee Flex Grooves – Behind-the-knee cutouts for maximum 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.
49° - 55° F
Drylock Wrist Seals – An XCEL exclusive, this seamless, engineered "donut seal" construction keeps more water out, minimizes flushing, and forms a snug, comfortable seal.
Fusion Weld Stitch-Free Seams – The most durable, stitch-free, maximum all-way stretch seam construction; glued seams are heat fused together with a strong, lightweight outer composite for a fully leakproof seal that keeps in maximum warmth.
Inner NexSkin Ankle Seals – Thin bands of liquid neoprene in the inner ankles forms an excellent seal and help minimize flushing.
Two-Part SmoothSkin Hem Seal – New, wider SmoothSkin hem seal on zipper flap, plus tonal printed graphics on the left shoulder (directly underneath the hem) for a more complete, secure seal that keeps even more water out.
Thermo Dry Seam Tape – This all-way stretch, lightweight, durable interior seam tape creates an even better seal that keeps warmth in and water out.
Always rinse thoroughly inside and out with fresh water after every use. Hang to dry.
