Xcel brought one out last year, water just beads off it...imagine how fast your wee will fly down your leg! I think my old one has a few more sessions left in it but it's getting thin in places, I'll defo spend the extra next time and go for one of these new type ones
All the gear, no idea.

My xcel infiniti 5/3 and 3/2 have a very similar fleece lining inside. I hang it out to dry inside out and it is dry in no time at all!

The neoprene still has some water in it sure makes putting it back on a lot more comfortable.

my excel seems to take quite a while to dry. Might be because I dont rinse it with fresh water after every use ?, I do wash it with wetsuit detergant every month or so though......im not a total scruff haha :D

Im not sure what to do for wetsuits this winter, my excell infiniti seems to have lost some of its warmth so not sure if it will get me through the winter. might go for a drysuit this year, or just go for a mid range suit like my last ripcurl one and then layer it up with my thermal rashie and a 2mm neoprene hoodie/jacket
