XCEL Mens Axis X 3/2mm Fullsuit
Product Description
ABOUT XCEL
Ed D’Ascoli founded Xcel in 1982, working from the bedroom of his Sunset Beach house. D’Ascoli found no shortage of inspiration from the world-class performances on display at his doorstep; and the opportunity to create and to connect high-performance products with the athletes who demanded them was irresistible. Xcel’s passionate focus on product development would become the defining characteristic of the brand.
Developing wetsuits in Hawaii came naturally to D’Ascoli, having grown up surfing New Jersey’s chilly Atlantic coasts. While temperate Hawaii waters rarely call for any more than 2mm neoprene, Sunset Beach and other North Shore breaks are incredibly challenging and demand world-class products for maximum performance.
Drawing upon his enthusiasm and experience helping establish Victory Wetsuits (Japan) as an international brand, D’Ascoli quickly laid the foundations of a core wetsuit company that would revolutionize the industry and push the cutting edge of material and design development.
After penetrating the surfing market, Xcel rode its rapid growth into expanding its offerings and found wider audiences across the ocean. Today, surf, dive, UV protection, paddle, and wake combine to form the core of Xcel’s brand appeal. In 1990, D’Ascoli moved Xcel from Sunset Beach into its present headquarters in Haleiwa. Soon after, to better service Xcel retailers on the mainland, the brand opened a warehouse in California. This West Coast location facilitated Xcel’s entry into the recreational diving market. Using successful features and vast product knowledge of its successful surf and military wetsuits, Xcel quickly raised the bar for dive wetsuit design.
Xcel’s reputation for exceptional product quality is a clear result of an unwavering dedication to research, development, and design innovation. With tropical to cold-water products for men, women, and youth, the brand stresses performance: maximum stretch and durability, sealed-seam construction, and a fit that feels custom-made every time.
XCEL Men’s Axis X 3/2 Fullsuit
IDEAL WATER TEMP: 57˚ – 65˚ F DESIGN –
Engineered fit system which fits like a second skin with a watertight back zip.
AXIS X – SEALED WARMTH AND STRENGTH CONSTRUCTION –
Triple glued & blindstitched seams are 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 strength needed. Reinforced Fusion X tape is the next generation of precision tape technology, applied by a machined heat-pressure process which bonds tape directly to suit.
MATERIALS –
Plush Thermolite upper body. Super soft and light Superene Japanese Limestone neoprene with 100% performance stretch for comfort and performance. Soft and anti-fade dope-dye yarn and a durable nylon collar.
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. The tape is either infrared patterned (products with TDC) or yellow (non-TDC products).
Texture Skin
Texture embossed rubber that provides excellent wind resistance; ideal for outer chest panels hoods, and other areas that would otherwise lose warmth quickly.
UltraStretch Neoprene
Comfortable, lightweight neoprene with softer foam and a tighter weave textile for less water absorption, better durability, and maximum stretch.
Glued & Blindstitched Seams
A fully sealed, maximum stretch seam construction. Neoprene panels are glued and pressed together, then blindstitched (needle doesn’t fully penetrate neoprene, keeping more water out).
100% High Performance stretch throughout exterior for maximum flexibility
Plush “Thermo Lite” interior from chest down to ankles to maximize warmth
Watertight zipper with glide skin collar to prevent flushing
Triple glued and blind stitched seams with FusionX tape throughout the interior of the lower body and “S” Seal on the exterior of the upper body
Eco Friendly Limestone neoprene with Aqua glue process and Dope Dyed yarn
$292.95
Price: $292.95
