FAQs
What temperature is this suit designed for?
This suit is designed for cool water conditions, specifically between 54 and 64º F (12 - 18º C).
Is the material eco-friendly?
Yes, it uses limestone-based neoprene and Dope Dyed fabric, which is an environmentally friendly process that uses less water and energy.
How do I store my wetsuit?
Always store the suit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain its shape.
Can I use this suit in freezing water?
No, this is a 4/3mm suit best suited for cool temperatures; it may not provide enough insulation for extreme cold environments.
What makes limestone neoprene better than traditional neoprene?
Limestone neoprene is lighter, more flexible, and significantly warmer than traditional petroleum-based neoprene while being more durable.
How do I clean the suit?
Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every use. Never use a washing machine, dryer, or chemical detergents.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting into the suit
Ensure you are pulling the chest panel over your shoulders evenly; use a plastic bag on your feet/hands to help slide through the arm and leg holes.
Water flushing through the neck
Double-check that the internal chest flap is laid flat against your chest before securing the exterior zipper.
Stiff zipper operation
Check for trapped neoprene or sand in the zipper teeth and rinse thoroughly with fresh water; never force the zip if it sticks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vissla 7 Seas suit, always rinse it with fresh cold water immediately after every session. Avoid hanging the suit in direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene over time. When drying, use a wide plastic hanger and fold the suit at the waist to prevent shoulder stretching. When putting the suit on, ensure the chest zip is properly aligned before zipping to prevent binding. Because of the specialized fit, refer to the manufacturer's size chart to match your specific height and weight, ensuring the anatomical panels align correctly with your joints.
