XCEL Hawaii 4/3 OS-Zip Full-Suit - Men's - 2009 BCS

Item # XCL0055

You could suffer from a frozen man-sack and struggle to unzip your existing wetsuit … or get the Men’s XCEL 4/3 OS-Zip Full-Suit. QuikDry neoprene with UltraStretch throughout the neoprene and seams allows unrestricted movement—pull that offset zipper closed, and get your ass out there.

  • QuikDry SUPERLITE neoprene throughout the suit offers total waterproof, abrasion-resistant protection
  • Fusion Seals at wrist and ankles utilize UltraStretch waterproof composite to cover the blind stitch on the inside with UltraStretch, UV resistant glue to seal the outside
  • THERMOBARRIER UltraStretch texture skin in upper front and back chest retains precious heat at your core
  • UltraStretch Fusion seams that line the upper body are stitchless on the outside to allow maximum mobility as you paddle
  • UltraStretch Pressure-bonded tape seams seal the lower body and legs
  • Articulated DuraFlex knee panels for mobility and comfort
  • Pre-bent sleeves position your arms for maximum mobility

Bottom Line:

You don’t bitch about cold water … you just suit up and paddle out.

Love it, first 4/3

By:

I have never owned a 4/3 before, and I am so glad I chose it this time around. Way warmer than a 3/2, and pretty comfortable. I'd buy it again. Only two minor gripes: sorta hard to get on and off, and I'm not sure if it will relax or always be this tough; and there is a touch of bunching in the left armpit, but I am dropping 20 so that should help. I am 5'10" and was 200 lbs, going to drop to 180 lbs (half way there).
