The Xcel Drylock Hood w/ Bill 2mm is part of the Drylock Series, known for its high thermal performance and advanced cold-water protection. The interior Celliant Black lining helps retain warmth by converting body energy into infrared heat, making the hood more effective during long or windy sessions. Quick Dry Fibers reduce water absorption and speed up drying, limiting wind chill between dips.

Thanks to its engineered design, the hood contours naturally to the head for a secure and comfortable fit. The Soft Glideskin exterior adds wind resistance, improving comfort in harsher conditions. The Cinch and Smooth-Skin Seal system helps minimise flushing, keeping cold water out when duck-diving, pumping on a wing, or transitioning upwind.

The low-profile bill improves visibility while shielding the eyes from spray and dripping water. Seams are taped, glued and blindstitched to enhance durability, comfort and sealing, ensuring the hood withstands regular use in demanding conditions.
