With the beautiful weather on our doorstep, we thought it was time to talk a little more about summer sports. You may have noticed it in store or on our website, but a new company is coming to Boutique Homies this season. This is the brand Xcel Wetsuits, and we decided to present the brand to you!
THE COMPANY
Xcel Wetsuits is a company specializing in the design and manufacture of water sports suits. Founded in 1982 by Ed D'Ascoli, then working from the bedroom of his home in Sunset Beach, Hawaii, the company quickly gained popularity across America.
Initially focused on surfing, the brand has expanded its horizons to offer quality products to all those who play in the cold water of the oceans; today, Xcel Wetsuits offers wetsuits for anyone who surfs, paddle boards, kayaks and even scuba dives.
In short, Xcel is a brand that cares about the industry in which it lives. She stays close to the fundamentals of surfing and wetsuiting, but she's still proud of the very important side of research and development in the company.
Their goal: to create and offer high quality products with constant innovation.
They have also been voted ''Wetsuits of the Year'' by the Surf Industry Manufacturer's Association (SIMA) four times, in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2020.
SOME TECHNOLOGIES
Limestone Neoprene: Xcel uses limestone mined from the earth to replace petroleum by-products and other processed chemicals, reducing the company's dependence on petroleum.
Recycled Polyester: A wide selection of Xcel fabrics are knitted with polyester yarns made from recycled plastic bottles. This helps reduce waste and material consumption at the same time.
Thermo Dry Celliant: The brand uses reflective particles to retain body heat.
Xcel Infiniti: This is a seamless construction to improve the flexibility and comfort of the wetsuits offered by the company.
GREEN RESPONSIBILITY
Xcel Wetsuits is also recognized for its commitment to the environment. The company uses ecological or recycled materials whenever the opportunity arises, such as recycled neoprene for example. The company also works to continually reduce its carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices.
IN SUMMARY
In sum, Xcel wetsuits is a globally recognized company in the wetsuit industry. The company stands out for its high quality products, its constant innovation and its commitment to the environment. No need to search too long, xcel probably has the perfect wetsuit for you!
