Xcel Axis 2mm Wetsuit Hood

Perfect for cold surfing conditions

When the wind picks up and the water cools down, the Xcel Axis 2mm Wetsuit Hood is your go-to cap for longer sessions. Made from high-stretch neoprene with quick-drying fibers, it remains flexible and comfortable, even in icy cold water.

Thanks to the glide-skin face seal and molded chin design, this hood offers a snug, water-resistant fit that keeps cold water out and warmth in.

Features & Benefits

• 2mm Neoprene Construction, Lightweight yet warm enough for cold water surfing, windsurfing or kitesurfing.
• Ultrastretch + Quick-drying Fibers, Provides maximum flexibility and comfort; dries quickly after your session.
• Glide-Skin Face Seal + Molded Chin, Offers a tight seal around the face and neck, reducing water entry and maximizing thermal efficiency.
• Cinch + Barrel-Lock Adjustment, Allows you to customize the fit around your head and neck for a secure, comfortable feel in the water.

For Whom

Whether you're surfing in cold Atlantic waters, windsurfing in fresh coastal conditions, or simply want to extend your sessions in spring or autumn: this hood is ideal for surfers, kitesurfers, windsurfers, and watersports enthusiasts who seek warmth, comfort, and durability without sacrificing mobility.

Particularly suitable for:

• Winter surf sessions
• Autumn / early spring surfing
• Watersports where head warmth + flexibility are crucial
• Surfers who prefer a separate hood rather than a suit with an attached cap
• Why the Xcel Axis 2mm Hood stands out

Many 2mm hoods struggle to provide warmth without added bulk. But the Xcel Axis Hood uses a clever design: the thin neoprene maintains stretch and flexibility, while the glide-skin seal and molded fit retain warmth and keep cold water out.

Furthermore, the adjustable cinch and barrel-lock offer surfers a perfect, personalized fit, ideal if you want a hood that stays put during paddles or duck-dives.

All in all, the Xcel Axis Hood offers an excellent balance of thermal protection, comfort, flexibility, and value: an absolute must-have for cold-water surf gear.
