Xcel wesuits, are they going out of business?

[chillyinCanada]

I recently read an excellent review for an Xcel 7 mm women's sweat suit. Then I went hunting and decided to look at 3 mm and discovered that there are very limited sizes when more than one is available at all.

Does anyone know what is going on here?

XCEL is alive and well (just got acquired by Quiksilver.) The new dive suits will start shipping in August.

As with most industries that have new styles every year, the old stock gets worked down before the new models are released for the next year. The struggle of the bean counters. How much to order, how much will be left at the end of the year and need discounting to move along, too much inventory and it will hurt next year, too little and you lost sales and profit.

XCEL makes an excellent wetsuit. Highly recommend their stuff.
