SIMA 2012: Best Wetsuit Goes To Rip Curl And Best Bootie To Xcel

Rip Curl’s Flash bomb

Rip Curl’s Flash bomb wetsuit got the second consecutive title for the “Wetsuit of the Year”. Why? Because (among other things) of Flash Lining, which wicks water from the interior of the suit within seconds of being exposed to the air, the FLASH BOMB is dry to the touch in roughly 15 minutes after surfing when hung up. It’s the “World’s Fastest Drying Wetsuit”.

Xcel Drylock boot

The second award mentioned today goes to a bootie. The first piece that we put on when just wetsuit is not enough. The best bootie is Xcel Drylock. Innovative technologies in this boot include Xcel’s exclusive Drylock ankle seal construction and heat-retaining, earth-friendlier ThermoCarbon lining made from bamboo charcoal and recycled poly fibers.
