With the 2022 Xcel Axis Youth Back Zip wetsuit, groms can stay in the water from dawn till dusk. Available in a 5/4mm or a 4/3mm and produced with the same Xcel materials and design as the adult wetsuits, the Youth Axis cuts no corners. Made of Superprene Japanese neoprene, which is derived from limestone instead of petrochemicals, this wetsuit provides plenty of warmth, stretch and durability. Thermo Lite IR smart fabric lines the chest with plush warmth, while the wetsuit’s outer is 100% performance stretch. The back zip makes changing in/out of the wetsuit simple. Seams are triple-glued and blind-stitched, reinforced with FusionX tape, and taped at stress points, for maximum durability. We use Xcel Axis wetsuits in our rental fleet, for good reason — they’re warm, and they last. They also work great for kiteboarding, kayaking, or whatever else kids want to do in cold water
