Simple to put on, warm, durable materials:This product comes with a full back zipper that's pretty high in quality and that lets you put on and take off the wetsuit quickly. The product is pretty warm in the water and does have a great level of dryness thanks to the glued seems, but still provides adequate insulation even when water gets in. The product does provide a comfortable fit without sacrificing flexibility. The product is also made with durable materials that don't tear or rip easily, even when climbing out onto a rougher dock repeatedly.Overall, this is a good product and I would recommend.

I ordered this in a 10T which was the perfect size for my height and weight on their size chart. However, it is much tighter than other wetsuits I have had particularly around the wrist and ankles. I could barely get my hands thru.Even though this is the correct size for my height it still feels a little tight through the torso and could have used an extra inch or so in length because it's giving a pulling sensation in the armpits.On the plus side, the material is very thick and durable. All the reinforced patches on the knees and elbows are excellent quality. It's extremely well made and feels top tier.

XCEL makes a quality wetsuit that is comfortable, stretchy and snug around the ankles and wrists. The back zipper works well and has a pull strap making it easy to zip up one your own. The suit fits true to size and provides plenty of warmth for use in colder weather and colder water. The neck was a little snug but that might just take some getting used to. The wetsuit seems like it seals up well and is well designed for keeping water out. I plan to use the wetsuit for kayaking as the weather turns colder.

This wet suit fit just about perfectly and is secure around the wrists and ankles to keep water from getting in. It is a bit thinner than I'd like but does keep me warm and dry in the water. It is comfortable and easy to put on and take off without help with its pull string zipper strap.

The craftsmanship on this wetsuit is solid, providing a great balance of durability and affordability. While it may not feature the ultra-stretch materials or seam-sealed technology of Xcel’s higher-end models, it offers more than enough mobility and warmth for the average surfer. With its 4/3mm thickness, it provides that extra bit of insulation to make cold-water sessions more comfortable. For anyone starting out or seeking a reliable wetsuit without breaking the bank, this is an excellent option that could easily serve well for years to come.
