The 2022 Xcel Drylock X Men’s Hooded 5/4mm wetsuit closes the back door on cold water. Up front, a sleek and hydrophobic Channel Flex outer skin repels water while providing ultimate stretch. Underneath lies 100% Nanoprene Lite Japanese neoprene, made from limestone instead of nasty petrochemicals — way warmer, lighter, stretchier and more durable than the old-school stuff. Inside, fuzzy high-pile Celliant Black TDC holds heat from chest to knees, and smart fiber Ultra Stretch IR surrounds the arms and lower legs with warmth. Drylock wrist seals and a fully-waterproof yet supple zipper throw the deadbolt on water entry. If you surf cold waves like we do, you’ll end up catching more in a Drylock X.
