Founded in 1982 in Hawaii, their story begins with a deep connection to the ocean.

His goal was simple—create suits that offered warmth, flexibility, and durability for serious surfers. From the start, Xcel gained attention for their smart designs and quality craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the brand grew, so did its influence. Xcel quickly expanded to colder climates. Their wetsuits became popular among winter surfers in the U.S. and Europe. They focused heavily on innovation and cutting-edge materials. This commitment won them a loyal following. Xcel was one of the first companies to use 100% stretch neoprene throughout their suits. This gave surfers freedom of movement that older suits lacked. In 2007, Xcel won SIMA’s Wetsuit of the Year award, a major recognition in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Xcel continues to lead in wetsuit technology. Their range of products covers all kinds of surfers and conditions. Each suit is designed with purpose and precision. From thick cold-water suits to lightweight spring suits, Xcel has something for everyone. Their Axis range is a favorite for everyday surfers. It offers great value and essential features like glued seams and Thermo Lite lining. The Comp series takes flexibility to the next level. It’s designed for high-performance surfing where movement matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those braving the harshest winters, Xcel’s Drylock series is a top-tier option. It combines warmth with advanced water-sealing features. Celliant Black lining and Channel Flex neoprene keep body heat in and water out. The Drylock’s chest and back panels are engineered for serious warmth. It’s perfect for cold breaks in places like the U.K., Ireland, and the Pacific Northwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf sustainability is a priority, Xcel’s Infiniti series might catch your attention. It includes limestone-based neoprene and water-based glue, which are more eco-conscious options. This range balances warmth, comfort, and environmental responsibility. Xcel has also explored smarter panel placement and construction to reduce seams and improve fit. Their wetsuits are known for ergonomic designs that reduce fatigue and increase performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXcel doesn’t just make wetsuits for surfers. They also offer suits for paddlers, divers, and ocean lifeguards. Their wide product range includes boots, gloves, and hoods for full protection in colder water. Each accessory is carefully built to maintain the same high standards as their suits. These items help extend surf sessions by keeping extremities warm and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, Xcel has stuck to its roots while embracing change. From Hawaii to surf spots around the globe, the brand represents quality and trust. Their focus on innovation keeps them relevant in a crowded market. Even with more competitors, Xcel’s gear continues to perform in lineups from California to Cornwall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXcel’s presence in the surf community goes beyond gear. They support local surf shops, sponsor talented athletes, and engage in ocean stewardship. Their story is one of evolution, but always tied to the sea.

Living on the shores of one of the world’s top surf spots inspired him daily. The natural beauty of the area and the world-class performances at Sunset Beach fueled his creativity. The opportunity to design high-performance products for elite athletes was irresistible. Xcel quickly became known for developing products tailored to the needs of extreme athletes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD’Ascoli’s background made him uniquely qualified to launch Xcel. Growing up in New Jersey, he surfed cold Atlantic waters. The chilly conditions inspired him to create wetsuits suitable for any environment. In Hawaii, wetsuits with 2mm of neoprene were often sufficient. However, Sunset Beach’s powerful waves and strong currents required something different. Surfers needed wetsuits designed for maximum performance and durability. This challenge became central to Xcel’s commitment to innovation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD’Ascoli’s previous experience was key to Xcel’s success.

The brand’s reputation for excellence helped it dominate in various water sports industries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1990, D’Ascoli moved Xcel’s headquarters from Sunset Beach to Haleiwa. The bustling North Shore town allowed the company to expand operations. Xcel also opened a California warehouse, helping its entry into recreational diving. The brand’s reputation for innovation and expertise in surf wetsuits enabled it to design top-tier dive gear. Xcel applied surf wetsuit features to improve dive wetsuit design.

Living on the shores of one of the world’s top surf spots inspired him daily. The natural beauty of the area and the world-class performances at Sunset Beach fueled his creativity. The opportunity to design high-performance products for elite athletes was irresistible. Xcel quickly became known for developing products tailored to the needs of extreme athletes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD’Ascoli’s background made him uniquely qualified to launch Xcel. Growing up in New Jersey, he surfed cold Atlantic waters. The chilly conditions inspired him to create wetsuits suitable for any environment. In Hawaii, wetsuits with 2mm of neoprene were often sufficient. However, Sunset Beach’s powerful waves and strong currents required something different. Surfers needed wetsuits designed for maximum performance and durability. This challenge became central to Xcel’s commitment to innovation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD’Ascoli’s previous experience was key to Xcel’s success.

The brand’s pursuit of excellence quickly became its hallmark. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter establishing a strong presence in the surfing market, Xcel expanded its offerings globally. Known for surf gear innovations, the brand soon targeted other markets. Xcel’s core products now include surf, dive, UV protection, paddling, and wakeboarding gear.

Xcel quickly expanded to colder climates. Their wetsuits became popular among winter surfers in the U.S. and Europe. They focused heavily on innovation and cutting-edge materials. This commitment won them a loyal following. Xcel was one of the first companies to use 100% stretch neoprene throughout their suits. This gave surfers freedom of movement that older suits lacked.

Growing up in New Jersey, he surfed cold Atlantic waters. The chilly conditions inspired him to create wetsuits suitable for any environment. In Hawaii, wetsuits with 2mm of neoprene were often sufficient. However, Sunset Beach’s powerful waves and strong currents required something different.

The bustling North Shore town allowed the company to expand operations. Xcel also opened a California warehouse, helping its entry into recreational diving.

Founded in 1982 in Hawaii, their story begins with a deep connection to the ocean. Ed D’Ascoli, the founder, was passionate about designing wetsuits tailored to performance in warm water \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Surfing\" title=\"surfing at wikipedia\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esurf\u003c\/a\u003e. His goal was simple—create suits that offered warmth, flexibility, and durability for serious surfers. From the start, Xcel gained attention for their smart designs and quality craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the brand grew, so did its influence. Xcel quickly expanded to colder climates. Their wetsuits became popular among winter surfers in the U.S. and Europe. They focused heavily on innovation and cutting-edge materials. This commitment won them a loyal following. Xcel was one of the first companies to use 100% stretch neoprene throughout their suits. This gave surfers freedom of movement that older suits lacked. In 2007, Xcel won SIMA’s Wetsuit of the Year award, a major recognition in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Xcel continues to lead in wetsuit technology. Their range of products covers all kinds of surfers and conditions. Each suit is designed with purpose and precision. From thick cold-water suits to lightweight spring suits, Xcel has something for everyone. Their Axis range is a favorite for everyday surfers. It offers great value and essential features like glued seams and Thermo Lite lining. The Comp series takes flexibility to the next level. It’s designed for high-performance surfing where movement matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those braving the harshest winters, Xcel’s Drylock series is a top-tier option. It combines warmth with advanced water-sealing features. Celliant Black lining and Channel Flex neoprene keep body heat in and water out. The Drylock’s chest and back panels are engineered for serious warmth. It’s perfect for cold breaks in places like the U.K., Ireland, and the Pacific Northwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf sustainability is a priority, Xcel’s Infiniti series might catch your attention. It includes limestone-based neoprene and water-based glue, which are more eco-conscious options. This range balances warmth, comfort, and environmental responsibility. Xcel has also explored smarter panel placement and construction to reduce seams and improve fit. Their wetsuits are known for ergonomic designs that reduce fatigue and increase performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXcel doesn’t just make wetsuits for surfers. They also offer suits for paddlers, divers, and ocean lifeguards. Their wide product range includes boots, gloves, and hoods for full protection in colder water. Each accessory is carefully built to maintain the same high standards as their suits. These items help extend surf sessions by keeping extremities warm and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, Xcel has stuck to its roots while embracing change. From Hawaii to surf spots around the globe, the brand represents quality and trust. Their focus on innovation keeps them relevant in a crowded market. Even with more competitors, Xcel’s gear continues to perform in lineups from California to Cornwall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXcel’s presence in the surf community goes beyond gear. They support local surf shops, sponsor talented athletes, and engage in ocean stewardship. Their story is one of evolution, but always tied to the sea. When a surfer chooses Xcel, they’re not just buying warmth and flexibility. They’re investing in decades of design experience, deep ocean knowledge, and passion for surf culture. That’s what makes Xcel more than just a wetsuit brand. It’s a trusted companion in the waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Xcel","offers":[{"title":"XS \/ 5\/4mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44357050925346,"sku":"XW25MN54ZXC4XS","price":289.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"S \/ 5\/4mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44357050958114,"sku":"XW25MN54ZXC4S","price":289.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"ST \/ 5\/4mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44357033984290,"sku":"XW25MN54ZXC4ST","price":289.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"MS \/ 5\/4mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44357034017058,"sku":"XW25MN54ZXC4MS","price":289.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M \/ 5\/4mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44357034049826,"sku":"XW25MN54ZXC4M","price":289.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"MT \/ 5\/4mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44357034082594,"sku":"XW25MN54ZXC4MT","price":289.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"ML \/ 5\/4mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44357034115362,"sku":"XW25MN54ZXC4ML","price":289.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LS \/ 5\/4mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44357034148130,"sku":"XW25MN54ZXC4LS","price":289.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ 5\/4mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44357034180898,"sku":"XW25MN54ZXC4L","price":289.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LT \/ 5\/4mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44357034213666,"sku":"XW25MN54ZXC4LT","price":289.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL \/ 5\/4mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44357034246434,"sku":"XW25MN54ZXC4XL","price":289.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1970\/3995\/files\/Xcel_Comp_MN20ZXC4_MN32ZXC4_MN43ZXC4_MN54ZXC4-BLK_F_web-1_b0f0df61-ea6a-4f15-81a3-d7e63783594e.jpg?v=1760614715"},{"product_id":"xcel-15mm-infiniti-wetsuit-gloves","title":"Xcel 1.5mm Infiniti 5-Finger Wetsuit Gloves","description":"\u003ch3\u003eXcel 1.5mm Infiniti 5-Finger Wetsuit Gloves\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1.5mm Infiniti Wetsuit Gloves have been meticulously designed for surfers seeking an enhanced experience in warmer waters.

Living on the shores of one of the world’s top surf spots inspired him daily. The natural beauty of the area and the world-class performances at Sunset Beach fueled his creativity. The opportunity to design high-performance products for elite athletes was irresistible. Xcel quickly became known for developing products tailored to the needs of extreme athletes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD’Ascoli’s background made him uniquely qualified to launch Xcel. Growing up in New Jersey, he surfed cold Atlantic waters. The chilly conditions inspired him to create wetsuits suitable for any environment. In Hawaii, wetsuits with 2mm of neoprene were often sufficient. However, Sunset Beach’s powerful waves and strong currents required something different. Surfers needed wetsuits designed for maximum performance and durability. This challenge became central to Xcel’s commitment to innovation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD’Ascoli’s previous experience was key to Xcel’s success. He helped establish Victory Wetsuits in Japan, a recognized brand. This experience shaped his vision for Xcel, which focused on quality and cutting-edge technology. As Xcel grew, it attracted surfers, divers, and athletes from around the world. The brand’s pursuit of excellence quickly became its hallmark. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter establishing a strong presence in the surfing market, Xcel expanded its offerings globally. Known for surf gear innovations, the brand soon targeted other markets. Xcel’s core products now include surf, dive, UV protection, paddling, and wakeboarding gear. This diversification solidified its position as a leader in performance gear. The brand’s reputation for excellence helped it dominate in various water sports industries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1990, D’Ascoli moved Xcel’s headquarters from Sunset Beach to Haleiwa. The bustling North Shore town allowed the company to expand operations. Xcel also opened a California warehouse, helping its entry into recreational diving. The brand’s reputation for innovation and expertise in surf wetsuits enabled it to design top-tier dive gear. Xcel applied surf wetsuit features to improve dive wetsuit design. This transition to the diving market marked a significant milestone in the company’s growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXcel’s commitment to innovation and product development earned it a loyal following.

Founded in 1982 in Hawaii, their story begins with a deep connection to the ocean. Ed D’Ascoli, the founder, was passionate about designing wetsuits tailored to performance in warm water \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Surfing\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"surfing at wikipedia\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003esurf\u003c\/a\u003e. His goal was simple—create suits that offered warmth, flexibility, and durability for serious surfers. From the start, Xcel gained attention for their smart designs and quality craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the brand grew, so did its influence. Xcel quickly expanded to colder climates. Their wetsuits became popular among winter surfers in the U.S. and Europe. They focused heavily on innovation and cutting-edge materials. This commitment won them a loyal following. Xcel was one of the first companies to use 100% stretch neoprene throughout their suits. This gave surfers freedom of movement that older suits lacked. In 2007, Xcel won SIMA’s Wetsuit of the Year award, a major recognition in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Xcel continues to lead in wetsuit technology. Their range of products covers all kinds of surfers and conditions. Each suit is designed with purpose and precision. From thick cold-water suits to lightweight spring suits, Xcel has something for everyone. Their Axis range is a favorite for everyday surfers. It offers great value and essential features like glued seams and Thermo Lite lining. The Comp series takes flexibility to the next level. It’s designed for high-performance surfing where movement matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those braving the harshest winters, Xcel’s Drylock series is a top-tier option. It combines warmth with advanced water-sealing features. Celliant Black lining and Channel Flex neoprene keep body heat in and water out. The Drylock’s chest and back panels are engineered for serious warmth. It’s perfect for cold breaks in places like the U.K., Ireland, and the Pacific Northwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf sustainability is a priority, Xcel’s Infiniti series might catch your attention. It includes limestone-based neoprene and water-based glue, which are more eco-conscious options. This range balances warmth, comfort, and environmental responsibility. Xcel has also explored smarter panel placement and construction to reduce seams and improve fit. Their wetsuits are known for ergonomic designs that reduce fatigue and increase performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXcel doesn’t just make wetsuits for surfers. They also offer suits for paddlers, divers, and ocean lifeguards. Their wide product range includes boots, gloves, and hoods for full protection in colder water. Each accessory is carefully built to maintain the same high standards as their suits. These items help extend surf sessions by keeping extremities warm and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, Xcel has stuck to its roots while embracing change. From Hawaii to surf spots around the globe, the brand represents quality and trust. Their focus on innovation keeps them relevant in a crowded market. Even with more competitors, Xcel’s gear continues to perform in lineups from California to Cornwall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXcel’s presence in the surf community goes beyond gear. They support local surf shops, sponsor talented athletes, and engage in ocean stewardship. Their story is one of evolution, but always tied to the sea. When a surfer chooses Xcel, they’re not just buying warmth and flexibility. They’re investing in decades of design experience, deep ocean knowledge, and passion for surf culture. That’s what makes Xcel more than just a wetsuit brand. It’s a trusted companion in the waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xcel","offers":[{"title":"US 6 \/ 3\/2mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44785505239330,"sku":"XS24WN32AXG0G6","price":119.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US 8 \/ 3\/2mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44785505206562,"sku":"XS24WN32AXG0G8","price":119.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US 8T \/ 3\/2mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44785505173794,"sku":"XS24WN32AXG0G8T","price":119.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US 10 \/ 3\/2mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44785505141026,"sku":"XS24WN32AXG0G10","price":119.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US 12 \/ 3\/2mm \/ Fullsuit","offer_id":44785505075490,"sku":"XS24WN32AXG0G12","price":119.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1970\/3995\/products\/xcel-32-womens-axis-back-zip-wetsuit-graphite-blue-bob-gnarly-surf.jpg?v=1740061365"},{"product_id":"xcel-infiniti-hooded-mens-wetsuit","title":"XCEL 5\/4 Infiniti Hooded Mens Wetsuit 2025","description":"\u003ch3\u003eXCEL 5\/4 Infiniti Hooded Mens Wetsuit 2025\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDependable Core Warmth wetsuit.

Living on the shores of one of the world’s top surf spots inspired him daily. The natural beauty of the area and the world-class performances at Sunset Beach fueled his creativity. The opportunity to design high-performance products for elite athletes was irresistible. Xcel quickly became known for developing products tailored to the needs of extreme athletes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD’Ascoli’s background made him uniquely qualified to launch Xcel. Growing up in New Jersey, he surfed cold Atlantic waters. The chilly conditions inspired him to create wetsuits suitable for any environment. In Hawaii, wetsuits with 2mm of neoprene were often sufficient. However, Sunset Beach’s powerful waves and strong currents required something different. Surfers needed wetsuits designed for maximum performance and durability. This challenge became central to Xcel’s commitment to innovation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD’Ascoli’s previous experience was key to Xcel’s success. He helped establish Victory Wetsuits in Japan, a recognized brand. This experience shaped his vision for Xcel, which focused on quality and cutting-edge technology. As Xcel grew, it attracted surfers, divers, and athletes from around the world. The brand’s pursuit of excellence quickly became its hallmark. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter establishing a strong presence in the surfing market, Xcel expanded its offerings globally. Known for surf gear innovations, the brand soon targeted other markets. Xcel’s core products now include surf, dive, UV protection, paddling, and wakeboarding gear. This diversification solidified its position as a leader in performance gear. The brand’s reputation for excellence helped it dominate in various water sports industries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1990, D’Ascoli moved Xcel’s headquarters from Sunset Beach to Haleiwa. The bustling North Shore town allowed the company to expand operations. Xcel also opened a California warehouse, helping its entry into recreational diving. The brand’s reputation for innovation and expertise in surf wetsuits enabled it to design top-tier dive gear. Xcel applied surf wetsuit features to improve dive wetsuit design. This transition to the diving market marked a significant milestone in the company’s growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXcel’s commitment to innovation and product development earned it a loyal following. The company creates wetsuits with maximum stretch, durability, and custom-like fit. They offer wetsuits for men, women, and youth in both tropical and cold waters. Each suit is designed for peak performance and longevity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXcel’s dedication to quality has earned recognition from various industry leaders. The Surf Industry Manufacturer’s Association (SIMA) has honored the brand several times. Xcel has won the prestigious “Wetsuit of the Year” award four times, in 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2017. This recognition reflects the company’s commitment to providing top-quality gear.

Founded in 1982 in Hawaii, their story begins with a deep connection to the ocean. Ed D’Ascoli, the founder, was passionate about designing wetsuits tailored to performance in warm water \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Surfing\" title=\"surfing at wikipedia\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esurf\u003c\/a\u003e. His goal was simple—create suits that offered warmth, flexibility, and durability for serious surfers. From the start, Xcel gained attention for their smart designs and quality craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the brand grew, so did its influence. Xcel quickly expanded to colder climates. Their wetsuits became popular among winter surfers in the U.S. and Europe. They focused heavily on innovation and cutting-edge materials. This commitment won them a loyal following. Xcel was one of the first companies to use 100% stretch neoprene throughout their suits. This gave surfers freedom of movement that older suits lacked. In 2007, Xcel won SIMA’s Wetsuit of the Year award, a major recognition in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Xcel continues to lead in wetsuit technology. Their range of products covers all kinds of surfers and conditions. Each suit is designed with purpose and precision. From thick cold-water suits to lightweight spring suits, Xcel has something for everyone. Their Axis range is a favorite for everyday surfers. It offers great value and essential features like glued seams and Thermo Lite lining. The Comp series takes flexibility to the next level. It’s designed for high-performance surfing where movement matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those braving the harshest winters, Xcel’s Drylock series is a top-tier option. It combines warmth with advanced water-sealing features. Celliant Black lining and Channel Flex neoprene keep body heat in and water out. The Drylock’s chest and back panels are engineered for serious warmth. It’s perfect for cold breaks in places like the U.K., Ireland, and the Pacific Northwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf sustainability is a priority, Xcel’s Infiniti series might catch your attention. It includes limestone-based neoprene and water-based glue, which are more eco-conscious options. This range balances warmth, comfort, and environmental responsibility. Xcel has also explored smarter panel placement and construction to reduce seams and improve fit. Their wetsuits are known for ergonomic designs that reduce fatigue and increase performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXcel doesn’t just make wetsuits for surfers. They also offer suits for paddlers, divers, and ocean lifeguards. Their wide product range includes boots, gloves, and hoods for full protection in colder water. Each accessory is carefully built to maintain the same high standards as their suits. These items help extend surf sessions by keeping extremities warm and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, Xcel has stuck to its roots while embracing change. From Hawaii to surf spots around the globe, the brand represents quality and trust. Their focus on innovation keeps them relevant in a crowded market. Even with more competitors, Xcel’s gear continues to perform in lineups from California to Cornwall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXcel’s presence in the surf community goes beyond gear. They support local surf shops, sponsor talented athletes, and engage in ocean stewardship. Their story is one of evolution, but always tied to the sea. When a surfer chooses Xcel, they’re not just buying warmth and flexibility. They’re investing in decades of design experience, deep ocean knowledge, and passion for surf culture. That’s what makes Xcel more than just a wetsuit brand. It’s a trusted companion in the waves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xcel","offers":[{"title":"UK 12 (US 13)","offer_id":56901070520698,"sku":"USED_DRYLOCK","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1970\/3995\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_d4d400e4-740f-457f-9d8d-eb3914b72104.jpg?v=1779187335"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1970\/3995\/collections\/xcel-premium-wetsuits-bob-gnarly-surf_5c0d40e2-89a6-44db-b0e3-c66cf91fbd00.jpg?v=1765816701","url":"https:\/\/bobgnarlysurf.shop\/es\/collections\/xcel-wetsuits-premium.oembed?page=2","provider":"Bob Gnarly Surf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
