Product Information

Full details

The Vissla Solid Sets 2mm Front Zip Long Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket is designed for surfers and water sports enthusiasts who demand a blend of retro aesthetics and modern neoprene technology. Providing essential warmth and unrestricted mobility through its 2mm super stretch limestone-based construction, this jacket is ideal for cool-water sessions; however, users should note that as a jacket, it offers less total body thermal insulation compared to a full-suit wetsuit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for winter surfing?

No, the 2mm thickness is designed for mild to cool conditions, not extreme winter temperatures. You would likely need a full suit for winter.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

No, never machine wash or dry clean your wetsuit jacket as it will damage the neoprene and the adhesive in the seams.

Does the limestone neoprene make it float more?

Limestone neoprene is naturally buoyant, but the jacket's thickness is low enough that it will not significantly alter your buoyancy compared to other 2mm wetsuit materials.

How do I know what size to get?

Consult the brand's size chart based on your chest and waist measurements for the best performance fit.

Is the material waterproof?

Neoprene is water-resistant and insulating, but some water will naturally enter the seams or neck area during heavy activity.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull

Rinse the zipper thoroughly with fresh water to remove dried salt or sand; if it persists, use a wetsuit-safe zipper lubricant.

Jacket riding up during use

Ensure the boardshort connector cord is securely looped through the drawstring of your boardshorts before starting your session.

Neoprene feels stiff or less stretchy

Check if there is salt crystal buildup in the pores of the neoprene; soak the jacket in fresh, cool water for 30 minutes and rinse again.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of flexibility allows for natural movement
  • Environmentally conscious construction and lamination
  • Easy front-zip entry design
  • Secure attachment to boardshorts prevents riding up
  • Durable seam construction minimizes cold water flush

Cons

  • Limited coverage compared to full-length wetsuits
  • Front zip may feel slightly more restrictive than back-zip or zip-free designs
  • Requires careful rinsing to maintain neoprene elasticity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Vissla jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines. Before your session, inspect the zipper for any sand or salt buildup that could impede the slider. After every use, thoroughly rinse the jacket inside and out with cool fresh water to remove salt and debris. When drying, avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene and cause the fabric to become brittle over time. Always hang the jacket on a thick, plastic wetsuit hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid using a standard wire hanger, which can stretch out the shoulder material.
