Product Information

Full details

The Vissla 7 Seas 1mm Long Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket is designed for surfers and water sports enthusiasts who need lightweight core warmth during warm-water sessions or overcast, breezy days. By utilizing premium limestone-based neoprene, this jacket offers superior stretch and a softer feel than traditional materials, though its 1mm thickness means it is best suited for mild temperatures rather than cold-water conditions.

FAQs

Can I use this for winter surfing?

No, the 1mm thickness is designed for warm-to-mild water and is not sufficient for cold winter temperatures.

What does limestone neoprene mean?

It is a more sustainable, high-performance material that provides better insulation and stretch compared to traditional petroleum-based neoprene.

Does this jacket have sun protection?

While the fabric provides a barrier against the sun, it is always recommended to wear sunscreen on exposed skin.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash only with cold, fresh water. Do not put the jacket in a washing machine or dryer.

Will the black color fade quickly?

The jacket uses anti-fade dope-dyed jersey, which is specifically designed to retain color better than traditional dyeing methods.

Troubleshooting

Jacket riding up while paddling

Ensure the side toggle is securely looped and tightened to the drawstring of your boardshorts.

Stiff neoprene feeling

The jacket may have salt buildup; rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to dry completely in the shade.

Zipper sticking

Rinse the zipper track thoroughly with fresh water to remove sand, then ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth before zipping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent range of motion due to high-stretch limestone neoprene
  • Soft, comfortable interior jersey lining
  • Easy to put on and remove with the short back zip
  • Secure fit prevents the jacket from lifting during active use
  • Eco-friendly manufacturing processes

Cons

  • Not suitable for cold water temperatures
  • Flatlock stitching allows some water penetration
  • Limited torso coverage compared to a full wetsuit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Vissla jacket, follow these care steps:

  1. Rinse: Always rinse your jacket with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt, sand, and organic residue.
  2. Dry: Hang the jacket in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, as UV rays break down the neoprene and cause fading.
  3. Storage: Use a wide-shoulder wetsuit hanger to prevent shoulder stretching. Never store the jacket in a folded position for extended periods.
  4. Compatibility: The jacket is fully compatible with most standard boardshorts via the secure loop. Ensure the toggle is tightened firmly to your shorts' drawstring before entering the water.
  5. Avoid Chemicals: Never use harsh detergents or bleach, as these can strip the lamination and degrade the neoprene stretch.
