Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 6/5 refer to in the wetsuit name?

This refers to the thickness of the neoprene in millimeters. The 6mm panels are typically placed in the core and legs for maximum warmth, while 5mm panels are used in areas requiring more flexibility.

Is the hood removable?

No, this model features an integrated hood for maximum thermal efficiency in cold water.

How do I determine my size?

Sisstr sizing is based on standard UK dress sizing. Refer to the manufacturer's size chart to match your height, weight, and chest measurements.

Can I use this suit in the summer?

This suit is specifically designed for very cold water temperatures; using it in warm water will likely lead to overheating.

Is the material toxic?

No, the suit uses AquaA water-based lamination, which is solvent-free and constructed without harmful chemicals.

Does the suit fade over time?

The suit uses Dope Dyed fabric, which is specifically engineered to be anti-fade and resistant to the effects of salt and sun.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty getting the suit over shoulders

Ensure the chest zip is fully opened and use a gradual pulling motion rather than tugging at the seam; check that your shoulders are not wet before putting it on.

Water flushing through the neck

Check that the internal chest panel is pulled up correctly and securely tucked under the flap to create a proper seal.

Stiffness after storage

Rinse the suit with fresh water and allow it to air dry in a humid-free environment; the natural limestone neoprene should regain flexibility with use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior warmth provided by 6/5mm thickness and integrated hood
  • High-stretch neoprene allows for excellent range of motion
  • Eco-conscious materials including limestone neoprene and dope-dyed fabric
  • Quick-drying thermal interior lining
  • Solvent-free construction

Cons

  • Thicker material can feel bulky for some users
  • Requires more effort to put on compared to entry-level suits
  • Limited to very cold water usage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Sisstr wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every surf session to remove salt and debris. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV exposure can break down the neoprene integrity. When drying, drape the suit over a wide hanger away from heaters or direct sun, ideally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. To put the suit on, ensure your feet and hands are dry or use a plastic bag to slide through the arm and leg cuffs to prevent fingernail tears in the delicate neoprene.
