May 24, 2007 - Xcel Wins 2006 Wetsuit of the Year Award
Xcel was awarded the prestigious “Wetsuit of the Year” award by the Surf Industry Manufacturer’s Association (SIMA) for their Infiniti Series wetsuits.
Wetsuit of the Year was given “to the wetsuit at retail in 2006 that featured the most exciting design, appeal, or innovation.”
The Infiniti Series represents Xcel’s commitment to designing and producing high-quality performance wetsuits. Since first introducing the X-ZIP front horizontal zipper system in 1997, Xcel continues to raise wetsuit industry standards with multiple innovations as part of the complete Infiniti System.
Xcel’s Infiniti Series was chosen from fellow Wetsuit of the Year nominees O’Neill Pycho II and Mutant, Rip Curl’s F-Bomb, and Body Glove’s Vapor wetsuits.
Manufacturer’s products are nominated in specific award categories, which are then reviewed by a panel of industry experts and followed by a formal vote by SIMA members, who determine the ultimate winners.
In 2006, Xcel expanded the Fusion Seam throughout the full Infiniti line, a lightweight sealed seam developed exclusively by Xcel for the Infiniti System and tested for maximum stretch and durability. Available in a variety of thicknesses for men, women, and kids, the Infiniti Series is as close to a thermal second skin as possible, while still maintaining exceptional performance.
All Infiniti wetsuits include ultra-flexible, ultra-light neoprene balancing warmth and comfort, and either X-ZIP front zipper or OS-ZIP off-set back zipper systems for greater vertical stretch.
From lighter springsuits to hooded fullsuits, Xcel continues to evolve the Infiniti Series towards the ultimate engineered fit.
