The Xcel Drylock Hood w/ Bill & Neck Dam is part of the Drylock Series, known for its superior warmth and performance in harsh conditions. The interior Celliant Black lining converts body energy into infrared heat, helping you stay warmer during long cold-water sessions. Quick Dry Fibers reduce water absorption and speed up drying, lowering wind chill between dips.

With 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 when the wind picks up. The Cinch and Smooth-Skin Seal system helps reduce flushing, limiting cold-water entry around the face and neck.

The low-profile bill improves visibility while shielding the eyes from spray and dripping water. The added Neck Dam extends the sealing zone around the neck, integrating smoothly with the wetsuit and significantly reducing water entry. Seams are taped, glued and blindstitched, enhancing durability, sealing and overall comfort during repeated use.
