Xcel’s Mens Infiniti X2 3/2 Chest Zip Steamer is just another one of Xcel’s wetties stacked with features that make it a high-quality surfing wetsuit. Fantastic water sealing is achieved in the triple GBS and taped seams, as well as the wrist and neck seals. What sets this wettie apart from the Comp range is the smoothskin front and back panels that give added protection from wind chill.

Japanese Limestone Neopreneis laid up with a combination of taping and glue-reinforced seams creates a superior level of stretch and insulation. The stitch-free power seam [taped] has no stitching, obviously? But this means the potential stretch is not limited by the stitching and you’ll see that they’ve used this seam throughout the high stretch areas such as your paddle zones, where it really matters. To further limit the entrance of water into the suit has dry-lock seals around the wrist to keep them tight and snappy throughout the wetty’s life and a similar system exists around the ankle with their Nexskin ankle seals.
