Product Information
Full details
The Vissla 7 Seas 7mm Wetsuit Mitten is specifically engineered for surfers and water sports enthusiasts facing extreme cold water conditions of 9° C / 48° F and below. These mittens provide essential thermal insulation through a full hollow fiber lining and advanced water-tight construction, ensuring your hands stay warm during long sessions in frigid temperatures. While these mitts offer superior protection, the 7mm thickness does limit dexterity compared to thinner gloves, which is a common trade-off for high-level thermal performance.

FAQs
What is the recommended temperature range for these mittens?
These are designed for cold water conditions of 9° C / 48° F and below.
Why a mitten instead of a five-finger glove?
Mittens keep your fingers together, which significantly reduces surface area and heat loss, providing superior warmth in extreme conditions.
How do I maintain the grip on the palms?
Rinse with fresh water after every use. Avoid using harsh soaps or chemicals that could degrade the silicon grip material.
Does the warranty cover normal wear and tear?
The product includes a 3-month warranty specifically covering the seams and neoprene integrity.
How should I store these when not in use?
Store them flat in a cool, shaded, and well-ventilated area. Never leave them crumpled or in direct sunlight.
Can these be washed in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the neoprene, seams, and the grip material. Hand rinse only.
Troubleshooting
Water flushing into the mitts
Ensure the wetsuit cuff is pulled over the mitten wrist and check for any gaps or loose fits around the wrist area.
Neoprene feels stiff or brittle
This is often caused by salt buildup or drying in direct sunlight. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry in the shade.
Taitex seal is peeling
Check if the peeling is localized and use a dedicated wetsuit neoprene adhesive to secure the seal before it expands further.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent insulation for extreme cold water
- Durable wind-resistant outer shell
- High-grip palm texture for board control
- Advanced seam sealing prevents cold water flushing
Cons
- Reduced finger dexterity due to 7mm thickness
- Can be more difficult to put on/take off than thinner gloves
- Limited 3-month warranty on seams and neoprene
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the cuff of your wetsuit sleeve is placed over the mitten cuff to minimize water entry. When putting the mittens on, avoid pulling by the fingers to prevent damage to the neoprene and seams.
Care Instructions:
- After each session, rinse the mittens thoroughly with fresh water both inside and out to remove salt and debris.
- Do not wring or twist the neoprene, as this can weaken the internal structure.
- Always lay the mittens flat to dry in a cool, shaded area.
- Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources like radiators, as these will cause the neoprene to become brittle and lose its elasticity.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from ozone-producing appliances.
