Description
The Xcel Women's Axis Back Zip Full Wetsuit 5/4mm provides added thermal coverage for surfing in colder water. Built with Ocena bio-based, neoprene-free foam and a performance-stretch exterior, this full-length wetsuit combines thicker insulation with flexibility for paddling and wave riding.
A ThermoLite Infrared (TDIR) chest panel provides additional thermal lining through the upper body. Triple-glued and blind-stitched seams help reduce water entry, while Fusion X reinforced stress points add durability to the suit's construction.
The traditional back-zip entry makes dressing and removal more convenient. Xcel's engineered fit is designed to follow the body's contours while supporting movement. Finished in Black with Palm-Monstera Print, this women's 5/4mm fullsuit combines cold-water coverage with a distinctive patterned chest panel.

Xcel Women's Axis 5/4mm Wetsuit for Cold-Water Surfing
The Xcel Women's Axis 5/4mm Back Zip Full Wetsuit is designed for surfers who need more insulation than a lighter 3/2mm or 4/3mm fullsuit provides. Its thicker construction, flexible materials, and sealed seams make it an option for colder surf conditions.
5/4mm vs. 4/3mm Women's Wetsuits
Wetsuit thickness affects insulation, flexibility, and overall comfort. A 5/4mm fullsuit generally provides more thermal coverage than a 4/3mm, although thicker material can involve some tradeoff in flexibility.
For moderately cool conditions, compare the Xcel Women's Axis 4/3mm Back Zip Full Wetsuit. It offers a similar back-zip construction with a thinner design.
For milder water, the Xcel Women's Axis 3/2mm Back Zip Wetsuit offers less insulation with a lighter construction.
Ocena Foam and ThermoLite Infrared Lining
Xcel uses Ocena bio-based, neoprene-free foam in this Axis wetsuit. The material is paired with a performance-stretch exterior to support movement through the shoulders, torso, arms, and legs.
The ThermoLite Infrared (TDIR) interior chest panel provides additional thermal lining around the upper body. The suit also uses triple-glued and blind-stitched seams to help limit water entry through the stitching.
Back-Zip Entry and Reinforced Construction
Back-zip wetsuits use a traditional zipper opening along the upper back, allowing convenient entry and removal. This design can be appealing to surfers who prefer a familiar alternative to chest-zip wetsuits.
Fusion X reinforced stress points provide additional support in selected areas of the suit. The engineered fit is intended to maintain close contact with the body while allowing comfortable paddling and surfing movement.
Complete Your Cold-Water Surf Setup
A thicker full wetsuit provides body insulation, but colder water may also require protection for your feet. Explore Seaside's selection of wetsuit boots and surf booties to compare different thicknesses and sole designs.
Choosing the Right Women's Wetsuit Size
A properly fitted wetsuit should sit close against the body without uncomfortable tightness or large loose areas where water can circulate. Check Xcel's women's size chart, including height, weight, bust, waist, and hip measurements.
