XCEL Infiniti Westuit Boots - Review

XCEL Infinity 3mm Split Toe Boot

(Update: I have had these for a few years now, I'm on my second pair...still love them.)

After having these Infinit Booties for about two months, I feel confident in saying this is the best pair of wetsuit booties I have ever owned. The fit is perfect, no excess water slogging around in the boot, but not to darned tight like some boots I have had in the past. The 3mm version is plenty warm for my feet even in Northern California 50 degree water. Putting them on and taking them off is easy enough, with only one velcro cinch-strap; which is plenty to keep them on properly.

I have not liked wearing wetsuit booties in the past much, and avoided them except on the coldest days, or days I knew I would be climbing over rocks. Mostly this bootie shunning is because they just haven't felt very comforable. I have to say I am much more willing to throw these XCEL Boots on.

Not only are these the warmest pair of wetsuit boots I have owned, but they are also the best fitting...which may explain the warmth. Bottom line, these are highly recommended.
