Introducing the water inspired Xcel Diving Wetsuits from Ocean Ramsey

Published

on

Xcel launch beautiful ocean inspired wetsuits – now available in the UK.

New Thermofex 5/4/3 male (Tiger Shark) and female (Whale Shark) or Axis OS 4/3 female suits (Whale Shark). The Thermoflex is Xcel’s most popular wetsuit for divers. That’s why they decided to create a suit that combines functionality with beautiful aesthetics.

The Thermo Bamboo lining ensures that the heat given off by the body is kept in the suit so as not to limit the length of your dive. For their bamboo lining they use only bamboo and charcoal recycled fibers, which not only means that the suit is at the forefront in terms of sustainability, but also warm and quick-drying at the same time.

The design of their Thermoflex LTD comes from the Water Inspired series, which they developed with marine biologist and freediver Ocean Ramsey.

Amazing Tiger Shark Pattern

Many people cringe at the very thought of encountering a Tiger shark, yet the truth is Tiger sharks are one of the most cautious and personable species in the ocean.

Due to this undeserved bad reputation, shark finning, sport fishing and the dangers of nets and longline fisheries, the Tiger shark population is now at threat with becoming endangered. It is Xcel’s hope that with this partnership they can educate and raise awareness to support this shark, which is so important to our ocean’s ecosystem.

The newest addition to the collaboration, the tiger shark pattern was created from the stripes of one of Xcel’s favorite Tiger sharks, “Curly Girl”, utilizing biomimicry (copying nature’s designs) to mimic natural camouflage and also appear more like an apex predator.  #HelpSaveSharks.

Beautiful Whale Shark Pattern

“Did you know whale sharks are now an endangered species?”

“Sadly, these gentle giants are being killed at an unsustainable rate, mainly for shark fin soup. The whale shark’s beautiful pattern and great size – they are the largest shark species – makes them a coveted target of the shark fin soup industry. Truly tragic, since these giant filter feeders are one of the most peaceful, docile, and, in my opinion, most beautiful shark species. Their killing is also wrongheaded: The global economic value of a live whale shark far outweighs the value of its fins in the shark fin soup trade. Eco-tourism is sustainable and has multi-level benefits to local economies and the environment. Please help support responsible eco-tourism that supports research and responsible boating through their known aggregation sites. Mahalo (thank you) for purchasing this suit and becoming a voice for these voiceless, beautiful giants of the sea.” – Ocean Ramsey

wetsuit

Maximum freedom of movement and outstanding comfort

wetsuitThe SP series neoprene suits deliver incredible diving comfort to even the most demanding divers. Fabulous style included. Designed and engineered in Germany.

The smart 3D cut and the pre-shaped arms and legs not only ensure flexibility and a perfect fit, but also help you slip into the suit with ease. Cuffs on the arms and legs guarantee perfect sealing, which is further enhanced by the flap on the back zipper.

Zippers at the wrists and ankles provide additional comfort and ensure easy donning and doffing. The small neck zipper adds another layer of comfort.

The neoprene ribs in the back of the knees and crook of the arms are unique. The clever concept ensures optimum comfort when bending the arms or legs.

wetsuitShoulder and knee protectors protect the suit in high-wear areas. The small computer safety strap holds the device in place. The SP suit series is available for men and women in 5 & 7mm and offers a wide range of sizes including numerous intermediate sizes.

Every day, DYNAMICNORD works to keep its environmental impact as low as possible. Only the best available neoprene is used for the SP series of neoprene suits. It goes without saying that the neoprene is made from limestone. It is sourced from nature and has less negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, Carbon Black, one of the main components of neoprene, is pyrolysed from used tires. This reduces energy consumption and cuts CO₂ emissions by 200 grams per neoprene suit. Innovative dyeing machines reduce water and energy consumption during production by 60%.

DYNAMICNORD’s R&D department is constantly testing recycled materials and other next-generation sustainable components to become even more eco-friendly in all areas.

The different models in the SP series are now available from DYNAMICNORD dealers and in the online store.

SP suit 7mm: £504.00

SP suit 5mm: £440.00
