XCELMen's IconX Back Zip Full Wetsuit, Superior Durability & High Stretch at a Great Value, 4/3mm

Works great for my boat dives. High quality, and comfortable. Material feels good and durable.

It fits well, i'm 5'9. nice quality wetsuit at the proper thickness as described. Haven't had any issues with this so far. It looks great.

Even though EXCEL is touted as primarily water sport and surf wetsuits, my primary use if for diving.I picked up the Large/Tall XCEL wetsuitBackground:I am 6'2", 190 lbs, slim/athletic build with a broad chest and thin arms and legs.When I became a public safety diver, I've switched to primarily using a dry suit over 20 years ago and reserved the wetsuit for recreational diving in clean water (mostly ocean) and surface water sports. Recently, I broke out the 35+ year old wetsuit and found it to be in pretty bad condition so I picked this up from Amazon to review. Taking in account I am nearly 60 years old, I hadn't realized how you have to be a yoga master to squeeze into the surfing wetsuit.Here is what I like:+Form fitting (almost to much), hugs my skinny arms and legs, and extends past my ankles and wrists.+Comfortable+Warm (having little body fat, I get cold easily in water)+A good value in my opinionWhat I do not like:-Tight around my upper chest and squeezes my lats/pec area under my arm pits-Felt like a contortionist trying to put it all the way on and zip up the back by myself (had to have my wife secure the zipper). But that comes with old age and hard living limiting range of motion.-Zipper leash needs to be longer. It would be easy for XCEL to make the leash another 12". And for those who do not want a longer leash, it can be cut or tied. I will need to add an extension.When I put this on the first time, I was at home and couldn't wait to get in the water before I lost 10lbs in sweat.The reason for 4 stars vs 5:It's not the best wetsuit I've had but for $200, I'd say its the best in that price range. But as I use it more, I may upgrade to 5. I expect to get a few years out of this as I take good care of my sport and dive equipment.

I recently got the IconX wetsuit and it's fantastic! The full open back zipper makes it super easy to get in and out of, even when you're out of the water. The wetsuit is incredibly warm, thanks to its glued and blind stitched construction which keeps water from entering through the seams.Comfort-wise, it fits like a second skin, contouring perfectly to my body. The durable nylon materials and Duraflex knee pads add to its lasting durability, making it a great value.Designed and tested in Hawaii, this wetsuit really stands up to the elements and performs excellently. I'm really impressed with the quality and comfort of the IconX wetsuit.

I would suggest one size larger than the chart, especially if you are a little portly. The height measurement seems to be correct, but the width may need one size larger. The quality of the 4/3mm is good for both protection and keeping you warm in cold water conditions. The suit is well made. It is durable and should last a long time with good care.

I ordered this suit for my 14 year old and it fit him with room to spare. It fit him slightly loose with some extra length which is what I was hoping for. He is about 115lbs, 5ft 5in, size 28in waist and I ordered a medium tall. The make and material of the suit is well done and seems to be premium quality. It is thick and protective while snorkeling, which is what he mainly uses it for. Overall, I'm very happy with the quality and fit of the suit.

This is a great entry level wetsuit for serious use. It is well made and very well designed. It is built for easy entry and the stitching of the seams is great. The wet suit sizing is right on. I got the medium tall for a young tall and growing wrestler type build going into coast guard service. The suit has the right amount of stretch to allow easy movement with reinforced knees for durability. The 4/3 thickness is great for all around use with adequate warmth and protection.

This is a really nice, thinner wetsuit which is perfect for use in some many different water sports. The suit is spot on to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer but if you find you are right on the mark between two sizes, order up as wetsuits tend to be a little on the tighter side. The suit provide the typical protection from sun, water and elements while allowing you to completely move and function as if you didn't have it on. The zippers come with pull cords making it easy to get in and out of the suit and the material is in the "lighter" weight class making it a great all around suit for just about any weather.
