In this episode I reach out to the folks at Excel Wetsuits to get my hands on a couple of their award winning wetsuits.
Excel was gracious enough to give me a couple of Comp X wetsuits (3/2mm and 4/3mm) to test this winter in 62°-56° water with cold off shore winds. I first tested the 3/2mm in 62° water and to my surprise I was pretty warm with a little 2-4’ South swell running. The 3/2mm Comp X is very comfortable, and the flexibility feels like a 2mm wetsuit.
As the water temps dropped into the high 50’s I had to put on the 4/3mm Comp X and it was very comfortable with incredible flexibility for a 4/3mm. The Flexibility of the 4/3mm wetsuit is comparable to other 3/2mm wetsuits I have worn by other manufactures.
All in all the Xcel Comp X wetsuit in both the 3/2mm and 4/3mm are very comfortable with excellent flexibility and I highly recommend them both.
