The Gul VIPER 654 Hooded Steamer is designed for coldwater surfers and ocean enthusiasts who demand high-level thermal protection without sacrificing mobility. Featuring premium Japanese Yamamoto neoprene and advanced GRAPHENE X thermal technology, this suit excels at retaining heat during long winter sessions. While it offers industry-leading warmth and specialized seals, users should note that the integrated hood and thick construction require a precise fit to ensure the internal seals perform effectively.

The numbers refer to the neoprene thickness in millimeters, specifically 6mm in the core, 5mm in the legs, and 4mm in the sleeves for optimized warmth and mobility.
No, the hood is permanently fixed as part of the suit construction to ensure a complete, watertight seal.
The suit should feel tight but not restrictive. You should be able to reach your arms overhead without excessive tension in the torso.
Due to the thickness and advanced thermal linings, this suit is designed for cold water and may be too hot for warmer summer temperatures.
Store the suit flat or on a wide-shouldered wetsuit hanger in a climate-controlled environment, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
Ensure the Aqua Barrier zip is fully extended and use a plastic bag on your feet and hands to glide through the openings more easily.
Adjust the Twin-Cinch shoulder seal system to ensure a tighter, more uniform fit around the neck and hood perimeter.
Rinse the zipper thoroughly to remove salt crystals and apply a specialized zipper wax or lubricant if friction persists.
To ensure your suit lasts, always rinse it with fresh, cool water immediately after use. Avoid direct sunlight when drying, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene over time; instead, hang it in a cool, shaded area on a wide plastic hanger. When entering the suit, avoid using your fingernails to pull at the neoprene to prevent tears. Check the `KEY LOOP` in the upper chest area before entering the water to ensure your keys are secure. For transportation, avoid folding the suit for long periods; rolling it loosely is preferred to maintain the structure of the neoprene foam.
