The numbers (e.g. 5/4) represent the thickness of the wetsuit neoprene in millimetres. The thickness of this material varies, dependent upon the part of the body that’s being covered. This is why there are often different numbers in the description. The wetsuit neoprene is almost always thinner on the arms and legs, to ensure that the movement of the surfer’s limbs are not overly restricted while surfing.

The numbers will be separated with either a ‘/’ or a ‘0’, with each number corresponding to a different thickness. The larger number, usually the first number (the number on the left), gives the thickness of the torso. The second (and sometimes third) number gives the thickness of the neoprene on the limbs.

Fit is the difference. It’s the most important factor in choosing your wetsuit, gear, and accessories. If a fullsuit doesn’t fit correctly, then it won’t perform its most basic function of keeping you warm.

Look for your fullsuit to fit snugly, tight to your body without limiting your natural range of motion or comfort. Like a new pair of shoes, after being worn 3 to 5 times, your fullsuit should be stretched in all the right places and will be at its ideal fit.

Xcel’s size chart is for use as a general guide for stock size items only. If your measurements fall in between sizes, we suggest choosing the next largest size. Size availability varies per style.

You can help maximise the natural product life of your wetsuit by:

 

• Rinsing your product after each use with fresh water. Cool water (hot water reduces neoprene flexibility)
• Hanging your product to dry inside-out on a plastic or wooden hanger in the shade.
• Occasionally rinsing your product in a no-bleach, mild laundry detergent.
• Avoiding heating or folding your product.
• Wetsuits should never be ironed or put in a clothes washer or dryer.
