Product Information

Full details

The Vissla 7 Seas 5-4 Full Chest Zip Wetsuit is designed for the everyday surfer who requires reliable warmth and flexibility in cold water conditions ranging from 51 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit. Constructed from durable nylon, this suit prioritizes water tightness and freedom of movement, making it an essential piece of gear for extended sessions in chilly environments; however, users should be aware that the 5-4mm thickness is specifically optimized for cold water and may feel too warm for milder coastal temperatures.

FAQs

What is the recommended temperature range for this wetsuit?

The Vissla 7 Seas 5-4 is designed for cold water conditions ranging from 51 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can I use this in the summer?

This suit is designed for cold water; it will likely be too hot and restrictive for summer surfing in warmer climates.

How should I clean the wetsuit?

Rinse with fresh, cold water after every use and hang it to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

Does the chest zip affect flexibility?

No, the chest zip is specifically designed to provide more flexibility across the back compared to traditional back zip wetsuits.

Is this suit machine washable?

No, you should never machine wash or dry clean a wetsuit as it will damage the neoprene and seams.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Vissla size chart, paying close attention to height and weight ranges to ensure a snug but comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Water flushing through the chest zip

Ensure the internal flap is smoothed out completely and the zipper slider is pulled tightly to the end of its track.

Stiff or difficult to pull on

Ensure both the suit and your skin are relatively dry during the initial pull, or use a wetsuit glide lubricant if necessary.

Small nicks or tears appearing

Use a neoprene-specific cement (aquaseal) to patch small tears immediately to prevent them from expanding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal protection for cold water surfing
  • Chest zip design prevents water entry effectively
  • High-durability construction built for frequent use
  • Flexible material allows for comfortable paddling

Cons

  • Not suitable for warm water temperatures
  • 5-4mm thickness may feel restrictive if not properly fitted
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain material integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Vissla 7 Seas wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt and debris. Never dry the suit in direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the nylon and neoprene over time. When storing, hang the suit on a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent shoulder stretching. When putting on the suit, avoid using your fingernails to pull at the material, as this can lead to accidental tears in the neoprene. Always ensure the chest zip is fully secured before entering the water to ensure maximum thermal efficiency.
