Product Information

Full details

The Vissla 7 Seas Comp 4-3 Chest Zip Full Suit is a high-performance wetsuit designed for dedicated surfers who prioritize maximum flexibility and agility in cool water temperatures between 54 and 64 degrees Fahrenheit. By utilizing lightweight Japanese limestone-based neoprene and a minimalist seam design, it offers a nearly unrestricted range of motion, though its performance-focused construction means it may be less durable than heavier, fully taped expedition-grade suits.

FAQs

What is the ideal temperature range for this suit?

The 4-3 Comp is engineered for water temperatures between 54 and 64 degrees Fahrenheit (12-18 degrees Celsius).

Does this suit use petroleum-based neoprene?

No, it is crafted from Japanese limestone-based neoprene, which is an environmentally friendlier alternative.

How should I store my wetsuit?

Store it on a wide, plastic wetsuit hanger to prevent shoulder creasing, or fold it in half over a hanger bar in a cool, dry, and dark place.

Can I use soap to clean it?

Use only mild, wetsuit-specific shampoo. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the neoprene and adhesive.

What does Dope Dyed mean?

Dope Dying is a process where color pigments are injected into the molten plastic solution before the fabric is even created, significantly reducing water and energy usage during manufacturing.

How do I secure my key?

Locate the small elastic cord positioned inside the chest-zip entry area and loop your key through it before zipping up.

Troubleshooting

Water is flushing into the neck area

Ensure the Glideskin neck seal is lying flat against your skin without any hair or base layers tucked underneath to create a vacuum-like seal.

Suit is difficult to put on or take off

Ensure the suit is completely dry on the inside before putting it on; otherwise, use a plastic bag over your feet and hands to slide through the cuffs more easily.

Seams show signs of stretching

Avoid over-stretching the suit when pulling it up your legs; use the pads of your fingers rather than your nails, and ensure the suit is properly positioned before pulling it over your shoulders.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional flexibility for high-performance maneuvers
  • Lightweight and quick-drying thermal lining
  • Minimalist design reduces weight and drag
  • Easy-access key cord included
  • Glideskin neck seals effectively prevent flushing

Cons

  • Reduced interior taping may result in slightly lower longevity than fully taped suits
  • Not intended for extreme cold water surfing
  • Chest-zip entry requires more practice to put on than back-zip models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Vissla wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each session. Avoid direct sunlight when drying, as UV rays break down neoprene over time; instead, hang the suit folded over a wide bar in the shade. When putting the suit on, be careful not to puncture the material with fingernails, especially near the chest zip. Use the integrated key cord inside the zip flap to keep your car key secure while in the water. Periodically inspect the Supratex knee pads and seam stress points to ensure the Neo 2.0 tape remains intact.
