Japanese Limestone Neoprene is used in the Xcel Axis wetsuit range and helps us 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 Comp 2mm Short Sleeve Chest Zip Steamer we recommend washing it with Wetsuit Wash & reading our maintenance guide.

• ?Ultra Flex Neoprene: ?Takes away from the bulk of the neoprene, whilst improving the flexibility for a wider range of motion.
• Eco-friendly Dope Dye Yarn – wastes no water and uses less energy than traditional methods.

• Triple Glued & Blind Stitched Sealed Seam – sealed against water, stretchy and the choice for high-performance. Learn more here.
• Plush Thermo Lite Poly-fleece Lining – thermal polyfleece lining keeps your vitals dryer therefore warmer.
• Reinforced High-Strain Zones – Where 3 or more seams join Xcel have added FusionX taping for added durability.
• Glide Skin Collar – the best neck seal available! Stops water flushing through the neck.
• One Piece Back Panel – stretch is a proportional function in the sense that the more rubber you have, the more stretch it will provide. Therefore having a single panel, without interruption from zip or seam, results in the highest potential stretch. To have this panel on the back affords you better ‘reach’ because when you reach forward to paddle, you’re drawing stretch from the back panel!
