Product Information
Full details
The Vissla 7 Seas 2-2 Spring Wetsuit is ideal for surfers and water sports enthusiasts operating in cool water conditions ranging from 65 to 70° F (18 to 21° C). Constructed from premium Japanese limestone-based neoprene, this suit provides an excellent balance of warmth and flexibility, making it a reliable choice for long sessions in the water; however, users should note that the specific spring-suit cut is best suited for milder temperatures and may not provide sufficient thermal protection for colder winter swells.

FAQs
What is the recommended temperature range for this suit?
This wetsuit is designed for water temperatures between 65 and 70° F (18 - 21° C).
Is the material sustainable?
Yes, it uses Japanese limestone-based neoprene, solvent-free lamination, and dope-dyed fabrics from Bluesign approved mills.
How do I clean my wetsuit?
Rinse it with fresh water after every use and hang it to dry in the shade. Do not use washing machines or dryers.
What is the benefit of the chest-zip entry?
The chest-zip design allows for a more contoured, watertight fit that limits water entry compared to back-zip models.
Can I use this for swimming?
Yes, the super stretch material allows for the full range of motion required for swimming and surfing.
Troubleshooting
Water flushing through the neck area
Ensure the chest-zip flap is properly seated and smoothed down flat against your chest to create a consistent seal.
Difficulty putting on the suit
Ensure the suit is completely dry before attempting to put it on, or use a plastic bag over your feet and hands to help them slide through the cuffs more easily.
Stiffness in the material
Rinse thoroughly to ensure all salt crystals are removed, as salt buildup can make neoprene feel rigid over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your wetsuit maintains its elasticity and thermal properties, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every session to remove salt, sand, and organic residue. Avoid using harsh soaps or detergents. When drying, it is crucial to hang the suit in a shaded, well-ventilated area; direct sunlight can degrade the neoprene and cause the material to become brittle over time. Never wring or twist the suit to remove excess water, as this can damage the glued seams. Store your wetsuit on a wide, wetsuit-specific hanger to maintain its shape and avoid stretching the shoulders.
