Xcel Infiniti 5/4 Drylock with Hood (2012)
When you want to stay as dry as possible, the Xcel Infiniti Drylock 5mm is the answer, especially with the added hood reducing flushing to a rare event.
The Xcel Drylock range have always been first to bring innovative features to the market, what this means for us as surfers is: the highest performance wetsuit with minimal flushing.
QDF (Quick Dry Fiber) is the next evolution of Xcel's WRF technology introduced last year. It is a layer of hydro-phobic fibres woven into the external lining of the wetsuit, basically water runs right off the wetsuit which means less weight, quicker drying times and less of the wind-chill effect making you warmer for longer.
The Xcel Drylock range also incorporates innovative Airprene; two layers of regular neoprene sandwiching a perforated layer which traps air in pockets inside the wetsuit.
The thinking is, as well as being lighter, air is a better heat insulator than neoprene rubber, so the trapped air makes for a warmer, lighter suit. Perfect for taking your surfing a step further in the coldest season.
Airprene and QDF is only available in Xcels Drylock wetsuits, Xcels highest performance Winter wetsuit yet.
Ultrastretch Superlite neoprene is used throughout the rest of the wetsuit and panels are kept to a minimum so there's nothing holding you back.
Manufacturing with Bamboo makes for a greener suit which doesn't compromise on flexibility, the new neck to knee lining is made of Bamboo charcoal infused yarns and recycled polyester which stretch with your body.
Combine this suit with the Xcel polypro hooded vest and you'll have the benefits of a hooded wetsuit with the flexibility of a regular neck.
