Xcel Mens Drylock 3mm Bootie

They say you lose heat fastest through your extremities: heads, hands, feet and when considering your feet there are few warmer options than Xcel’s Drylock 3mm Booties. The Drylock range is renowned for being one of the warmest wetsuit ranges on the market and these booties are no different as they include all key features that make the Drylock’s so epic!

These features include the Celliant. material, quick-dry fibres, scalloped entry points [note how thin the leg hole looks] and Taitex taped seams.  Everything listed there is designed to stop water entering the boot which not only means it’s warmer but isn’t going balloon with water. The Winter 2020 model comes with some slight refinements improving on the improvement and appearance of the already impressive design.

To split or not to split: the age-old question of all prospective boot buyers is whether to go for a boot with a split toe.  Aside from channelling the relaxed vibes that come from wearing thongs, the split has a specific goal and that is to stop your toes from moving around which in-turn destabilises you, akin to having no wax under your feet.!  Unless you’ve got funky toes that can’t fit, you should always opt for the split toe.

To get the most out of your Xcel Mens Drylock 3mm Bootie we recommend washing with Wetsuit Wash and having a read of our maintenance guide.
