The XCEL Drylock Hooded Full 6/5mm is designed for riders who need maximum thermal protection during the coldest sessions of the season, when freezing water and strong wind can quickly drain energy and comfort. It performs well across windsurfing, kitesurfing, surfing and wingfoiling, offering a balance of insulation, flexibility and reduced water entry.

Thermo Dry Inferno (TDI) lining from chest to knee helps maintain warmth and speeds up drying between immersions. The upper interior features Ultra Stretch Infrared (IR), which improves flexibility in the shoulders and arms despite the thicker winter construction. The Channel Flex 2.0 exterior further increases mobility during pumping, paddling or working the sail on the wind.

The suit uses Nanoprene Lite to keep weight down and maintain responsiveness. A semi-dry zipper with magnetic closure, triple glued and blind stitched seams and Fusion X taped stress points work together to limit flushing and improve long-term durability. The soft glide skin collar provides a comfortable and secure neck seal. Environmentally conscious materials including dope-dye yarn and water-based glue are used without compromising performance.
