Xcel Youth Comp 3/2mm Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit - Dark Forest

Xcel Youth Comp 3/2mm Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit - Dark Forest

The Xcel Youth Comp 3/2mm Chest Zip Steamer is built for young surfers who need warmth, flexibility and performance through cooler surf sessions. Designed as a proper youth steamer, it gives groms full-body coverage without feeling too heavy or restrictive in the water.

The 3/2mm thickness gives extra warmth through the body while keeping the arms and shoulders flexible for paddling. This makes it a strong option for cool-water surf, shoulder-season sessions, surf lessons and young surfers progressing into longer days in the water.

The Comp range is designed for surfers who want a lightweight, flexible and performance-focused wetsuit. The Dark Forest colourway gives this suit a clean, earthy look that stands apart from a standard black kids’ steamer while still keeping the style sharp and surf-ready.

FAQ Section

What water temperature is the Xcel Youth Comp 3/2mm Chest Zip Steamer best for?

This wetsuit is best suited to cool-water surf around 15–20°C, depending on wind, session length and individual warmth preference.

What does 3/2mm mean in a wetsuit?

3/2mm means the wetsuit uses thicker 3mm neoprene through key warmth areas and 2mm material where flexibility is more important, such as the arms and shoulders.

Yes. A full 3/2mm steamer provides more warmth and coverage than a spring suit, making it better for cooler water and longer sessions.

Is a chest zip wetsuit good for kids?

Yes. A chest zip can help reduce flushing and create a secure fit, which is useful for young surfers spending more time in the water.

Who is this wetsuit best for?
