Xcel Wetsuits Axis Jacket

The bio-based foam is designed to mimic the performance of traditional neoprene, offering comparable thermal regulation and flexibility. You can expect the same level of stretch and comfort you are used to, just with a more sustainable material profile.

With a 1.5mm thickness, this jacket is best suited for warmer water conditions or as an extra layer in mild temperatures. It provides core warmth and sun protection without the bulk of a full wetsuit.

Yes, the full-length front zipper is significantly easier to manage than a back-zip or pullover style. It allows for a wide opening, making it simple to get in and out of the jacket, even when it is wet.

Flat seams are designed to sit flush against the skin, which minimizes the risk of irritation or chafing during repetitive movements like paddling. Combined with the low-profile collar, this jacket is built to remain comfortable over extended periods in the water.

Rinse the jacket thoroughly with fresh water after every use to remove salt and debris. Always hang it to dry in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight, which can degrade the bio-based foam over time.
