Xcel Drylock X X2 Wetsuit 5/4mm Frontzip Men Black
Xcel's Drylock X X2 is made from 5 and 4mm thick limestone-based Japanese nanoprene, which offers more warmth, is lighter, and is also much softer than regular neoprene. It is suitable for temperatures between 9° to 12°.
The inner lamination is made of TDC, which ensures that your body heat is converted into infrared energy, keeping you warmer for longer. This also means that the suit dries very quickly.
To ensure that as little water as possible can penetrate, a waterproof zipper has been inserted in the chest area, which can be closed with a magnet. In addition, the seams have been taped and partially welded, which also prevents water from penetrating and offers more flexibility and freedom of movement.
The Neo fits close to the body and is very comfortable due to the soft and flexible fabric, so that you will not have any problems even during several hours on and in the water

Inner NexSkin Seals
A thin band of liquid neoprene ("NexSkin") in the inner wrists and ankles forms an excellent seal and helps minimize flushing.
TDC
Quick drying, lightweight and naturally water repellent. TDC is Xcel's warmest liner ever - for any neoprene product. TDC is unique and only found in Xcel products. The clinically proven Smart Fibre technology converts your body heat into infrared energy to keep you even warmer. In addition, it ensures increased endurance and faster recovery.
Ultra-Stretch Neoprene
Comfortable, lightweight neoprene made with lightweight foam and dense fabric for extra low water absorption, longer life and maximum stretch.
Quick-Dry Lining
Quick drying, hydrophobic premium lining. Fast drying time to increase thermal performance. The Quick-Dry Lining is made from recycled polyester fibres to ensure the most environmentally friendly production possible.
Glued Blinded Stitching
The neoprene panels are glued and then blind stitched. Blind stitched means that the needle does not fully penetrate the neoprene to keep even more water out. The seams are fully sealed and offer you maximum stretch ability of the wetsuit.
DuraFlex Knee Panels
The comfortable knee pads protect your knees from abrasions and other injuries. They are very stretchy, so they do not interfere with your movements or restrict your freedom of movement.
X2 Front Entry
With the waterproof front entry system, the front zipper runs along the upper chest-shoulder area. The zipper flap, located on the right shoulder, keeps more water out. The inner Crossover Neck Entry features overlapping panels that stretch to allow extra wide entry into the Neo.
X2 Crossover NeckEntry
The overlapping inner front and back neck panels (under the zipper flap) expand to allow for extra wide, entry.
Xcel Magnetic Zip Closure
The innovative and quick-opening zipper features a double magnet on the zipper tab and attached zipper flap, which securely locks the zipper in place and makes it easier and faster to open than traditional closures.

Hint:
If your body measurements are between two sizes, we recommend that you choose the larger size.
However, you should make sure that the wetsuit always fits tightly to your body like a second skin. This prevents too much water from flowing through the wetsuit and heat from being lost. TAB:How do you measure correctly?

Often we are asked in which temperatures and weather conditions it is best to use which wetsuit with which neoprene thickness.

We want to give you a short overview why you should clean your wetsuit regularly and thoroughly and how to clean it best
Besides the hygiene factor, regular care also has an effect on the durability of the neoprene. If you simply hang your wetsuit out to dry in the sun after a session on the water and don't rinse out the salt water and dirt thoroughly, the neoprene can quickly become brittle and cracked. In general, we advise you not to hang your neo directly in the sun
A little tip when putting on the wetsuit: Make sure your body is dry, then it will be much easier to put on. Neoprene sticks to wet skin.
When you have finished your session, you should rinse the wetsuit directly with clean water. Then turn it inside out and let it dry in a shady and airy place. When the wetsuit is dry, you can turn it inside out and hang it on a sturdy hanger
Attention: Do not use the spin cycle under any circumstances!
An alternative to the washing machine is the bathtub. Simply take a small bath with 30°C water temperature and add some detergent, shower gel or rinsing agent and let the wetsuit soak. Then rinse thoroughly again.
Small tip: There are also great neoprene cleaners, e.g. from Mystic.

How should I clean and care for my wetsuit?

Can I wash my wetsuit in the washing machine?
Yes, that is no problem. Just turn it inside out and close the zipper. The wool programme or the gentle wash cycle at a maximum of 30°C is best. We recommend using a mild detergent.
