Research & Development is a crucial aspect to product successes as well as one of the cornerstones to Xcel’s positioning in the the marketplace. We are a wetsuit and hard goods company first. Each of our wetsuits are built with new, improved, and cutting edge technology that keeps you performing better and in the water longer.

While others get featured in a wetsuit guide, we are the wetsuit guide. We have you covered from the basics to the most advanced. You might think all wetsuits are made with the same material, but that is simply not true at Xcel. This wetsuit guide is a quick reference of what goes into our wetsuits as well as what sets them a part from each other.
