Xcel 5mm ST Drylock Wetsuit Boots 2015
IN A NUTSHELL...
Xcel's most advanced bootie gets a major upgrade for 2015, with all new TDC Thermo Dry Celliant, a revolutionary inner lining with smart fibers that recycle your body heat into infrared energy for greater warmth, increased endurance, faster recovery, and enhanced overall performance.
Design details
SKU Q4BT63
The Drylock is loaded with more exclusive features including angled Velcro straps, seamless Drylock ankle seals, a thin yet durable sole design, and UltraStretch Neoprene. The boot is also 100% glued & blindstitched, which means a more watertight construction as stitches never fully penetrate the neoprene.
Materials
Ultrastretch Neoprene
Comfortable, lightweight neoprene with softer foam and a tighter weave textile for less water absorption and better durability.
TDC Thermo Dry Celliant Low Pile
An Xcel exclusive, TDC Thermo Dry Celliant is our warmest wetsuit lining ever. This revolutionary material features clinically proven Smart Fiber Technology that converts body heat into usable infrared energy for greater warmth, increased endurance, faster recovery, and enhanced overall performance. The infrared print TDC is a low pile material for maximum flexibility, and is faster drying and lightweight, in and out of the water.
Construction
Taitex
Durable, flexible outer composite that forms a strong sealed seam.
Glued & Blindstitched Seams
A fully sealed, maximum stretch seam construction that keeps water out. Neoprene panels are glued and pressed together, then blindstitched (needle doesn't fully penetrate neoprene, keeping water out). Can be finished with seam taping for added stretch, durability, and comfort.
Drylock Ankle Seals
Exclusive "donut seal" construction keeps water out and forms a snug, comfortable seal.
Fit
Back Ankle Pull Loop
The most durable construction for keeping the pull loop attached to the boot. Pressure bonding also means a more watertight construction, since it requires no stitching that would otherwise penetrate the neoprene and let water in.
