Built for your next cold water surf adventure
The Xcel Axis Sharkskin 2/1mm LS Front Zip Wetsuit Jacket is a men's neoprene jacket built with SuperStretch neoprene at a 2mm thickness, striking a balance between warmth, comfort, and flexibility for sessions when the water and air both have a bite to them.
Materials and construction
This jacket pairs a retro sharkskin chest with smooth skin sleeves, giving it excellent wind resistance and improved core warmth. It opens with an easy access full front zip, and the panels are joined with comfortable, durable flat seam construction using durable, 7 thread flatlock seams that lie flat and smooth against your skin. The neoprene itself is eco friendly limestone based, bonded with an aqua glue process, in an engineered fit.

Who it is for
This jacket is for surfers heading into cooler, windier conditions who want a top layer that blocks wind at the chest while still moving with them through every paddle and pop up. It suits an early or late season session where a rash guard alone will not cut it but a full suit is more than you need.
How to wear and care for it
Zip up the front for a quick, easy on and off, and let the sharkskin panel do its job cutting wind across your chest while the smooth skin sleeves keep your arms moving freely. Rinse the neoprene in fresh water after each session and let it air dry out of direct sun to protect the flatlock seams and the sharkskin finish over time.
