Thursday, Xcel announced that they will be releasing their newest wetsuit: The Infiniti LTD. (And it will only be available at select brick-and-mortar surf shops on the West Coast, for a limited time only).
Introducing Radiant Rebound. The Xcel Infiniti LTD features new lightweight, metallic technology “Radiant Rebound,” which is intended to reflect body heat retention and distribute it throughout the wetsuit. (Which of course, will keep your body in a constant warm and comfy state.) “It doesn’t necessarily trap your heat like traditional liners do,” Xcel’s Director of Design Lance Varon tells ASN. “It gathers your heat and the rebounds it to the rest of your body.” “It’s like what were to happen if you wrapped your body in aluminum foil,” Varon continues. “Your heat would be gathered and reflected back to your body without it being lost. Much like a NASA space suit – You need it to be light, comfortable and warm. Our efficiency-to-weight ratio is very valuable.” That’s where their Channel Flex technology comes into play. By reducing fiber and water weight, the nanoprene is able to stretch in a complete range of motion.
The Channel Flex system explained by the source. The suit comes in 3/2 mm and 4/3 mm in both a chest zip and back zip. The warmth rating is as follows: Chest Zip and Back Zip: 3/2 mm fullsuit: 55-64 degrees Fahrenheit 4/3 mm fullsuit: 49-58 degrees Fahrenheit
