Xcel Comp+ 1mm L/S Wetsuit Jacket, Performance Stretch and Comfort
The Xcel Comp+ 1mm L/S Wetsuit Jacket is built for anyone searching for a warmer layer that still moves like a second skin. Xcel calls the Comp+ the most comfortable wetsuit they make, and the 1mm long sleeve jacket is the layering piece built around that same idea.
What the Comp+ Brings to a Wetsuit Jacket
- New Channel Flex exterior with incredible stretch
- New Thermo Dry Infrared (IR) interior for next level warmth and comfort
- Lightweight, high stretch construction
The Thermo Dry Infrared interior is the detail that separates this jacket from a plain neoprene layer, since it is built specifically to add warmth without adding bulk, while the Channel Flex exterior keeps the stretch that lets you paddle and rotate freely.
Who This Jacket Is For
A 1mm long sleeve wetsuit jacket like this is a layering piece for South Florida water conditions, worn under or over boardshorts on cooler mornings, breezy boat rides, or transitional season sessions where the water is not quite warm enough for a rash guard alone but does not call for a full thick suit either. It works well as an extra layer to extend the surf, paddle, or boat season without switching to heavier neoprene.
Getting the Fit and Wear Right
Because the Channel Flex exterior is built for high stretch, expect the jacket to move with your shoulders and arms through a full paddling motion rather than restricting reach. Like any neoprene layer, it should sit snug against the skin with no loose gaps at the neck, wrists, or waist, since a snug fit is what lets the Thermo Dry Infrared lining do its job of holding in warmth.
Rinsing and Storing Neoprene
Rinse the jacket in fresh water after every saltwater session to clear out salt and sand before it breaks down the neoprene, then hang it to dry inside out and out of direct sun. Store it on a wide hanger rather than folded, since folding neoprene for long periods can crease and weaken it over time.
