I dove this weekend, here is my review - broken down into the following categories:
Looks
Feel
Warmth
Value
Looks:
You look like a compete bad ass in this suit - I got many compliment on it at the dive site. Mine, in black, does not stand out too much, but the small accents in the design set it apart from any other suit I saw.
Feel:
Getting into the wetsuit was easy, the material was extremely stretchy but still hugged my body once it was fully on. The zipper under the neck was sometimes hard to zip, but this was a very very minor detail. As far as mobility is concerned, I felt like I could perform any task without a hassle.
Warmth:
I was diving in relatively warm water (Dutch Springs, PA) - Never did I feel cold and uncomfortable. However, please note that I also had a 7mm shorty on so I could not test the Xcel independently.
Value:
For the price that I got the suit, I cannot be happier with the results! Definitely buy it provided you come across a good deal!
