FAQs

What temperature is this wetsuit best for?

This 5/4mm suit is optimized for cold water conditions between 44°F and 53°F (8°C - 12°C).

What is limestone neoprene?

Limestone-based neoprene is a synthetic rubber derived from limestone rather than petroleum, offering higher heat retention, flexibility, and a lower environmental footprint.

Can I machine wash my wetsuit?

No, never machine wash your wetsuit. The agitation and heat will destroy the neoprene and the stitching. Only use fresh water and hand washing.

How should the suit fit?

The suit should feel like a 'second skin' with no large air pockets or bunching at the joints. It should be snug, but not so tight that it restricts your breathing or full range of motion.

What is the benefit of the chest-zip design?

Chest-zips provide a much better seal against water entry at the neck compared to back-zips and allow for more flexibility in the back panel for paddling.

Does the suit come with a key pocket?

Yes, it includes an easy-access key cord located inside the suit for secure storage.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty pulling the suit over shoulders

Ensure the suit is pulled completely up to your hips and waist before attempting to put your arms through the sleeves. Use a plastic bag on your feet if struggling to slide them through the lower legs.

Water flushing into the neck or cuffs

Check that the chest-zip flap is laid flat against your chest and the toggle is fully cinched. Ensure cuff seals are sitting flush against your skin without folds.

Neoprene feels stiff or crunchy after drying

This is often caused by salt buildup. Soak the suit in fresh water for 30 minutes to dissolve the salt and ensure it is stored away from heat sources.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for cold water
  • Eco-friendly limestone neoprene and dope-dyed fabrics
  • Superior flexibility thanks to advanced stretch materials
  • Quick-drying thermal interior lining
  • Secure seal with liquid tape cuffs and blind-stitched seams

Cons

  • Chest-zip entry can be more challenging to get into for beginners
  • Requires careful rinsing to maintain the integrity of the thermal lining
  • Specific temperature range limitation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your SISSTR wetsuit, proper maintenance is essential:

  1. Rinsing: Always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Drying: Hang the suit inside-out in the shade to dry. Never use a clothes hanger that might stretch the shoulders; use a wide-bar hanger or fold the suit over at the waist.
  3. Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene and cause the material to become brittle over time.
  4. Storage: Store the suit in a cool, dry place. Do not leave it folded or bunched up in a gear bag, as this can create permanent creases in the neoprene.
  5. Entry Technique: When putting on the suit, work the material up slowly from the feet to the hips before pulling the upper portion over your shoulders to prevent over-stretching the seams.
