| Anyone know the story with returning xcel's? The seams are bit dodgy in one or 2 spots in my 5/4 and there's like a pool around my lower back from it leaking somewhere? It IS a great suit though, just couldn't be dealing with that come Jan.. |
Presuming its still in warranty, take it back to the shop and they will send it to Xcel in the UK who will get SNUGG in cornwall to fix it. Best you start the process soon!.

Have a 6/5/4 Xcel started too leak after 5 sessions. Mainly under arms and legs. Tried to contact Xcel but had no joy. Wont be getting an other one. But was a warm suit.
Was thinking of BILLABONG 5/4/3 PLATINUM SOLUTION ZIPPERLESS WETSUIT for this winter. Any body ever try them? or the snugg Mini Zip, have a had few Snugg suits always excellent quality.

I had a 3/2 which fell to bits in no time. Also have a friend with the 5/4 hooded and it leaked very quickly, also the hood was badly conceived. The newer models might be better.
Nice wetsuit but the stitching has gone in mine very quicky

i've just been wearing my new mutant 5/3 for the last few sessions. when i first put on my xcel 5/3 i absolutely roasted, not so with the mutant - anyone else think they feel a little on the cool side?
the o neills have a reputation for being great suits but a little on the chilly side from what ive heard, never owned one myself though
Tried out my new Psycho 1 5/3 lastnight. I was way to warm in it so will keep the 4/3 going for a while yet. It felt like a really nice suit but not as good quality as the Psycho 2 6/5/4 the girlfriend got for herself. 500 euros for the 2 suits and 2 pairs of 6/4 O'neil Mutant booties. I hate not buying locally but thats almost half price!
Bought a CSKINS wired2 suit this weekend, 5/4 chest zip. delighted with it.
I've still got about another month to go in my summer suit(phsyco 2) 3/2. then Its back into my West
