When the Halloween candy's all gone, the Thanksgiving turkey's done and dusted, and holiday carolers are the jam of the week, less motivated surfers call it a season in the northern latitudes. But not you! No, you know your XCEL 5/4 Infiniti Hooded Wetsuit will help you catch those empty waves when they're at their best. Purpose built for just such a mission, this is a full suit for the frostiest among us.
Channel Flex – Channel Flex is a Hydrophobic channeled textile which has superior stretch, reduced weight and repels water.
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.
Nylon Collar – Comfort without the pulling of hair when accessing
Radiant Rebound – This latest advancement utilizes a METAL lining under the textile that blocks cold temperatures from penetrating the outer layer and reflects heat generated within the wetsuit back towards the body, keeping you in a constant state of warmth.
Thermo Lite IR – A lightweight, thermo-generating yarn to maximize warmth without adding weight.
Chest Zip
41º - 53º F
Triple Glued and Blind Stitched Seams – A water-tight seam construction where foam edges are glued multiple times before being slammed together creating air/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.
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
Semi-Dry Zipper with Magnetic Closure – Zip closure with a silicone strip to seal preventing flushing.
NexSkin Ankle and Wrist Seals – Liquid neoprene seals at wrist and/or ankles to prevent flushing.
