FAQs

What temperature range is this suit designed for?

This 4/3 wetsuit is intended for water temperatures between 51 - 58° F (11 - 14° C).

Is the neoprene petroleum-based?

No, it is made from 100% Japanese limestone-based neoprene, which is more eco-friendly and provides better stretch.

How should I dry the wetsuit?

Hang it on a wide hanger in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight as it damages the neoprene.

What is the benefit of the Dope Dyed fabric?

Dope Dying is an eco-friendly process that saves water and energy, while also making the fabric significantly more resistant to fading.

Does this suit include a place for my keys?

Yes, it features an easy-access key cord conveniently located for secure storage while surfing.

Can I use this in chlorinated pools?

It is not recommended, as chlorine can break down the neoprene and adhesive bonds over time.

Troubleshooting

Water flushing into the suit

Ensure the Glideskin neck seal is lying flat against your skin and the chest-zip flap is fully secured and overlapped.

Zipper is hard to pull or sticks

Check for trapped sand or salt crystals. Rinse the zipper area thoroughly with fresh water and ensure the internal flap is not snagged.

Feeling cold faster than expected

Verify that your wetsuit size is correct; a suit that is too large will allow water circulation, which defeats the thermal insulation properties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation for cold water conditions
  • High-stretch material allows for unrestricted paddling and movement
  • Environmentally conscious manufacturing processes and materials
  • Durable abrasion-resistant knee pads
  • Liquid tape cuff and Glideskin neck seals prevent water entry

Cons

  • Requires proper care to maintain the integrity of the neoprene
  • Chest-zip design can be slightly harder to enter than back-zip models
  • Designed specifically for cold-water temperature ranges

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Vissla 7 Seas wetsuit, follow these best practices:

  1. Donning: Enter through the chest-zip, pulling the shoulder panels over carefully to avoid overstretching the neoprene.
  2. Rinsing: Always rinse the suit inside and out with cold, fresh water after every session to remove salt, sand, and organic matter.
  3. Drying: Hang the suit on a wide plastic hanger away from direct sunlight. UV rays can degrade neoprene and fade the fabric over time.
  4. Storage: Store the suit in a cool, shaded area. Never leave it folded or bunched up while damp, as this can lead to mold and material breakdown.
  5. Maintenance: Check the zipper and key cord periodically for sand buildup; rinse them thoroughly if the action feels gritty.
