THE SUIT

Warmth and stretch where it counts

The IconX construction emphasizes durability and thermal protection: 5 mm over the back and chest and 4 mm in the arms and legs, with glued and blind‑stitched seams to block cold and seams built for longevity.

THE ENTRY

Easy entry and reliable fit

This model uses an easy‑entry back‑zip configuration and XCEL’s Engineered Fit, complemented by compression‑resistant Duraflex knee pads for comfort and durability during repeated sessions.

THE RENTAL

Flexible daily rentals for a Pacific weekend

Urban Surf offers short rentals with a built‑in half‑day buffer before and after the booked days so you can pick up gear early and return it late within the rental window.
