Product Details
Xcel has kitted out the Mens Comp 4/3mm Chest Zip Steamer with a mind-boggling array of features that are sure to impress. This mid-range steamer has all the calling cards of a great surfing wettie. With Thermo-Lite lining, Triple GBS and taped seams, Glide Skin collar, nanoprene lite Japanese limestone neoprene and other thermal generation and retention features you'll be staying warm in the water. The flexibility and durability of the wetsuit along with the engineered fit make the Comp Steamer comfortable and capable of performing.
Japanese Limestone Neoprene used in the Xcel Mens Comp 4/3mm Chest 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.
To get the most out of your Xcel Mens Comp 4/3mm Chest Zip Steamer we recommend washing it with Aussie made Wetsuit Wash between uses to remove salt, bacteria, chlorine and grime but also follow steps outlaid in our Wetsuit Maintenance Blog.
Xcel Mens Comp 4/3mm Chest Zip Steamer Features:
- Plush Thermo-Lite lining chest to knee: One of Xcel's signature materials made from smart fibre lining, favoured for its unique thermo-generating properties. The lining is soft, lightweight and flexible to match the neoprene exterior.
- Glide Skin Collar: Avoids water flushing through the collar by creating a seal against your skin. For this feature to really work, make sure you choose the right fit for you.
- Triple Glued and Blind Stitched Seams: The wetsuit will flex and the seams will handle it. GBS seams hold your wettie together whilst maintaining flexibility. Learn more about the benefits of GBS and taped seams. The glue is water-based.
- Reinforced FusionX Taped Stress Points: Taped seams are what create the ultimate water sealing wetsuit. By placing the flexible FusionX tape on stress points that experience frequent stretching, Xcel has stopped water where it is most likely to enter the wettie.
- One-Piece Back Panels: Continuous panels = flexibility = better performance. It's that simple.
- Chest Zip Entry: This is what facilitates the continuous panel design. Back zippers split the back panel and limit flexibility. Learn more about wetsuit entry systems.
- Water Tight Zipper: Normally a zipper is a weak spot for water sealing, but not in the Xcel Mens Comp Steamer.
- Engineered Fit Design: An anatomical design means a better fit. Better fitting wetsuits aren't just more comfortable, they have better water sealing and thermal retention.
- 100% Performance Stretch: Of course, Xcel has kitted this wettie out with a stretchy neoprene that acts as a second skin that won't hurt your ability to move.
- Eco-Friendly Limestone Neoprene: Neoprene derived from limestone, and not from oil. A more eco-friendly option that also has the benefit of improved thermal generation. Dope Dye yarn prevents colour fading.
- Light Quick-Dry Fiber: Materials designed to dry quickly will keep your wetsuit fresh and you feeling warmer in the surf.
