Product Information
Full details
The SISSTR 7 Seas 5/4 Chest Zip Wetsuit is designed for cold-water surfers and ocean enthusiasts who need reliable thermal protection in temperatures between 8 and 12 degrees Celsius. Its primary strength lies in the high-quality Japanese limestone-based neoprene, which balances lightweight flexibility with superior heat retention, though the thick 5/4 construction may feel restrictive to those accustomed to thinner, summer-weight suits.

FAQs
What temperature range is this suit for?
It is specifically engineered for cold water ranging between 8 and 12 degrees Celsius.
Is the material eco-friendly?
Yes, it uses Japanese limestone-based neoprene, Dope Dyed fabric, and a solvent-free lamination process to reduce environmental impact.
How should I store my wetsuit?
Store it on a wide, plastic wetsuit hanger in a cool, dark place. Never fold it for long periods, as this can create permanent creases in the neoprene.
Why is it 5/4mm?
The 5mm neoprene is used in the torso for maximum warmth, while 4mm is used in the limbs to provide better flexibility for paddling.
Can I use this for other water sports?
Yes, it is highly suitable for surfing, bodyboarding, or cold-water swimming where high thermal protection and mobility are required.
How do I repair a small tear?
Use a neoprene-specific cement to glue the edges of the tear together. Ensure the area is clean and dry before application.
Troubleshooting
Water flushing through the chest zip
Ensure the internal flap is laid flat against your chest before zipping up. If it bunches up, water will easily enter the suit.
Difficulty getting the suit on
Use a plastic bag on your feet and hands to help them slide through the cuffs more easily. Ensure all fabric is pulled up firmly from the ankles first.
Stiff neoprene after storage
Soak the suit in cool, fresh water for 20 minutes and hang it in a cool, shaded area to allow the material to naturally relax and hydrate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SISSTR wetsuit lasts through many seasons, always rinse it with fresh, cool water immediately after every use, especially after saltwater exposure. Avoid using harsh detergents, as they can break down the solvent-free lamination. Always dry the wetsuit out of direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause the neoprene to become brittle and fade. When changing, stand on a mat to prevent grit and sand from damaging the fabric. For the best fit, pull the suit up from the ankles to the knees before sliding into the torso to reduce stress on the seams and ensure the anatomically correct sections align properly with your joints.
