Xcel Womens Axis 4/3mm Back Zip Steamer features extremely stretchy Limestone Neoprene which will retain heat around your vitals whilst reducing the effect of wind-chill.
Japanese Limestone Neoprene is used in the Xcel Womens Axis 4/3mm Back Zip Steamer helps us (humankind) become less dependant on oil for the production of the rubber* component of your wetsuit. Aside from the environmental consideration, it is suggested that using limestone derived acetylene creates a smaller cell structure which in turn creates more warmth, stretch and takes on less water, so better in every regard, but you can learn more about this here.
To get the most out of your Xcel Womens Axis 3/2mm Back Zip Steamer we recommend washing it with Wetsuit Wash & reading our maintenance guide.
Xcel Womens Axis 4/3mm Back Zip Steamer Features:
- Limestone Neoprene: 100% Stretch factor with a smaller cell structure to increase warmth, stretch and water absorption compared to the butadiene methods that bring us petroleum-based neoprenes.
- 4mm-3mm split-thickness: 4mm body panels ensures warmth around your vitals. By reducing the thickness of the sleeves to 3mm the flexibility and stretch factor of the suit doubles – this is important because having poor quality or thick neoprene puts strain on your arms, making it harder to paddle. Rest assured knowing the same premium materials they use in their top-line suits are present in the Xcel Womens Axis 4/3mm Back Zip Steamer.
- Eco-friendly Dope Dye Yarn – wastes no water and uses less energy than traditional methods.
- Back zip entry: Easiest wetsuit entry system to get on and off. Learn more about Wetsuit Entry systems on our blog.
- Flatlock Seams: The best choice for durability. Learn more on our Wetsuit Seams Blog.
- FusionX taping in stress points
- Engineered Panelling: Xcel have optimised paddle freedom by laying 0.5mm rubber in the panels that provide stretch to your paddle stroke (under arms and side-gussets) and 1mm everywhere else, for warmth!
