Made for surfing in not-too-chilly water (XCEL rates it to between 56 and 64 degrees), the 3/2 Drylock Men's Wetsuit is about as tech as they come. Made of super-serious TD3 neoprene, the Drylock layers ultralight and warm V-Foam between a recycled polyester Quick Dry Thermal inner lining and Quick Dry exterior, to keep you warm when you're in the water and help you dry like lightning when you get out. It also incorporates Airprene insulating chest and back panels, which uses small, hollow chambers to trap air for maximum warmth and lightness. All this would be for naught if the Drylock was uncomfortable or flimsy, but it isn't. The upper body has stitch-free Fusion Weld seams with internal taping, for maximum flexibility and comfort, while the lower body seams are glued, blindstitched, pressure bonded, and taped for maximum durability and waterproofing. Warmth gets a serious boost from the Drylock's donut-style wrist seals and NexSkin liquid neoprene ankle seals, which prevent flushing and heat loss, while 3D Durafflex kneepads are articulated and have ergonomic flex grooves to make catching waves easier than sitting on the beach. The Drylock's also remarkably easy to get on and off, with a Crossover neck entry and a watertight chest zipper that opens wider than a Great White's mouth (it's more comfortable, too).
