XCEL Women's 5/4 Wetsuits
For the Surfers Who Don't Stop When It Gets Cold
Winter surfing in Wales is for people who've decided that cold water isn't a reason to stay on the beach. XCEL women's 5/4 wetsuits are built for those surfers. The 5mm core thickness and XCEL's thermal lining technology combine to create a suit that keeps you genuinely warm in water temperatures well below 10 degrees Celsius, which is exactly where the Welsh coast sits from November through to February.
Technology That Makes a Difference
XCEL's winter suits use their highest-performance neoprene compounds, with Drylock technology that dries faster between sessions and retains body heat more effectively than standard neoprene. Seams are glued, blind-stitched, and liquid-taped at critical points to eliminate cold water entry. The internal thermal lining adds perceptible warmth even before you get in the water, which helps when you're pulling the suit on in a cold car park in December.
Complete Your Winter Surf Kit
A 5/4 suit covers most of the warmth equation in winter, but you'll want to add 5mm surf boots, 5mm gloves, and a thermal hood for the coldest months to protect your extremities. XCEL's wetsuit accessories range covers all of that, and everything is designed to work with the suits for a consistent level of cold water protection across the board.
