Design details

In the Drylock, TDC is featured in a diamond patterned high pile chest for core warmth, and an infrared print low pile shoulders and full lower body. The Drylock is the only fullsuit series with a 100% waterproof zipper, and Xcel's FusionWeld technology, the most durable, stitch-free, maximum all-way stretch seam construction available. A full water-repellent Quick Dry Fiber exterior and Xcel's exclusive Drylock Wrist Seals are just a few more of the many features that make the Drylock our most high performance fullsuit.

Front entry attached at the right shoulder to keep more water out; with a waterproof zipper, SmoothSkin hem seal, pull cord/barrel lock combo, and a snap lock to keep zipper pull in place.

Materials
TDC Thermo Dry Celliant High 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. TDC is also faster drying and lightweight, in and out of the water. The diamond-patterned TDC is a high pile, extra plush lining for even greater core warmth.
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.
Ultrastretch Neoprene
Comfortable, lightweight neoprene with softer foam and a tighter weave textile for less water absorption and better durability.
Quick Dry Fiber
Fast drying, hydrophobic outer lining promotes maximum warmth.
V Foam
The most lightweight, premium foam available; significantly lighter, stretchier, and softer than standard foams.
Texture Skin
Texture embossed rubber that provides excellent wind resistance; ideal for outer chest panels hoods, and other areas that would otherwise lose warmth quickly.
Construction
FusionWeld Seams
The most durable, stitch-free, maximum all-way stretch seam construction. A glued seam is heat fused with a durable composite outside and seam taping inside for a fully leakproof seal.
Fusion Seam Technology
Inner waterproof stretch Fusion taping fuses seams together; used primarily in the upper body where maximum flexibility is required.
Pressure Bonded Seams
A glued & blindstitched seam using pressure to bond panels together for a highly durable yet still flexible seam; finished with inner taping for comfort; used primarily in the lower body (taping color varies by product).
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 Wrist Seals
Exclusive "donut seal" construction keeps water out and forms a snug, comfortable seal.
NexSkin Seals
A thin band of liquid neoprene ("NexSkin") in the inner wrists and/or ankles forms an excellent seal, and helps minimize flushing.
Fit
Back Knee Flex Grooves
Behind-the-knee cutouts for even more flexibility.
Less Seam = More Stretch
Smarter product design means minimizing seams to maximize stretch. Any seams used are always pre-bent and contoured for a truly engineered fit.
DuraFlex Knee Panels
Contoured, durable panels that stretch with you.
