Product Information

Full details

The Sisstr 7 Seas 6/5 Hooded Chest Zip Wetsuit is designed for cold-water surfers who require maximum thermal protection without sacrificing mobility. Featuring high-grade Japanese limestone-based neoprene and a specialized thermal lining, this suit offers superior warmth, quick-drying capabilities, and an eco-friendly construction. While its premium material provides incredible stretch and comfort, the thickness of the 6/5mm neoprene makes it most suitable for frigid winter conditions, potentially feeling too restrictive for warmer climates.

FAQs

What does the 6/5 rating mean?

The 6/5 rating indicates that the suit uses 6mm thick neoprene in the core/body for maximum warmth and 5mm neoprene in the arms and legs for better mobility.

Is this suit suitable for summer surfing?

No, the 6/5 thickness is specifically designed for winter or cold-water environments and will likely cause overheating in warmer water.

How do I ensure a good fit?

The suit should feel like a second skin without restricting your breathing. Refer to the specific Sisstr size guide for your UK dress size to ensure the best fit.

Can I use a washing machine to clean it?

Never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit. Always hand wash in fresh cold water to prevent damage.

What is the benefit of limestone neoprene?

Limestone neoprene is more environmentally friendly than petroleum-based neoprene and typically offers higher elasticity and lighter weight.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty getting the suit over the shoulders

Ensure the chest zip is fully opened and use a plastic bag on your feet to help glide the lower half on, then pull the upper body on slowly to prevent strain.

Water flushing through the chest

Verify that the internal neck gasket is positioned correctly and that the chest zip is pulled completely across and locked into place.

Suit feels stiff after a long period of storage

Soak the suit in cool, fresh water to rehydrate the neoprene fibers and ensure it is stored away from direct sunlight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth for extreme cold water conditions
  • Superior flexibility due to high-quality limestone neoprene
  • Eco-friendly construction using dope dye and solvent-free lamination
  • Quick-drying thermal lining for comfort during multi-session days

Cons

  • 6/5mm thickness may be overkill for moderate water temperatures
  • Requires careful handling to maintain the integrity of the specialized lining
  • Hooded design can be cumbersome for those who prefer full head freedom

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Sisstr 7 Seas wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh cold water after every surf. Avoid using hot water, as it can damage the neoprene and degrade the lamination. When drying, hang the suit in a shaded, well-ventilated area—never leave it in direct sunlight, as UV rays break down the material over time. To avoid stretching the shoulder area, use a wide-shouldered wetsuit hanger. When putting the suit on, be careful with fingernails, as sharp edges can snag the interior thermal lining.
