Product Information

Full details

The SISSTR 7 Seas 5/4 Chest Zip Wetsuit is designed for cold water surfers seeking maximum thermal protection in conditions ranging from 8-12 degrees Celsius. By utilizing Japanese limestone-based neoprene and a specialized Thermal Fever Fiber lining, this suit delivers exceptional warmth and flexibility for extended sessions in chilly waters; however, its heavy-duty build and 5/4 thickness may feel restrictive compared to thinner performance suits if you are surfing in warmer temperature ranges.

FAQs

What is the ideal water temperature for this suit?

This wetsuit is best suited for water temperatures between 8-12 degrees Celsius.

Is the fabric eco-friendly?

Yes, it uses Japanese limestone-based neoprene and a dope-dyed fabric process which reduces water and energy consumption.

How do I dry the suit properly?

Hang it on a wide, plastic hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight and heaters.

What is the purpose of the key cord?

The integrated key cord provides a secure spot to stow your car key while surfing.

Can I use this suit in the pool?

While technically possible, the chlorine in swimming pools can rapidly degrade the neoprene material and is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Water entering through the neck

Ensure the Glideskin seal is sitting flush against your skin and that the chest flap is correctly overlapped and secured.

Difficulty zipping the chest entry

Ensure you have enough slack in the chest panel before pulling the zipper across; do not force the zipper if it feels snagged, as there may be neoprene tucked inside.

Material feeling stiff after drying

This is normal for high-quality limestone neoprene; gently stretch the suit before putting it on to loosen the fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, eco-friendly Japanese limestone neoprene
  • Quick-drying thermal lining for comfort
  • Excellent seal against water flushing
  • Durable, anti-fade fabric construction

Cons

  • 5/4 thickness is too warm for moderate temperatures
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain material integrity
  • Chest zip entry can be more difficult to put on than back-zip models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To put the suit on, step in through the neck opening, pull the suit up to your waist, and insert your arms before sealing the chest zipper. Always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every use to remove salt and debris. Hang your suit inside out on a wide, wetsuit-specific hanger in the shade, as direct sunlight can degrade the neoprene over time. Avoid folding the suit for long-term storage, as this can create permanent creases in the material, reducing its effectiveness and durability.
