FAQs
What temperature range is this wetsuit for?
This suit is optimized for water temperatures between 51-58 degrees Fahrenheit (8-12 degrees Celsius).
How should I clean my wetsuit?
Rinse it with fresh, cool water after every use and hang it to dry in the shade.
Can I use this in warm water?
Due to the 5/4mm thickness, it is likely too hot for warm-water surfing and would cause overheating.
Is the material durable?
Yes, the Vissla 7 Seas is constructed with high-quality nylon designed to withstand regular surfing sessions.
What is the benefit of a chest zip?
The chest zip provides a better seal against the water and allows for more flexibility in the back panel compared to back-zip models.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the suit over the shoulders
Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry before putting it on, or try wearing a thin nylon surf vest to reduce friction.
Water flushing through the neck area
Check that the chest panel flap is lying flat against your chest without folds before zipping the top shut.
Stiff or sticky zipper
Rinse the zipper track thoroughly with fresh water to remove dried salt crystals and apply a wetsuit-safe zipper wax if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for cold water
- Watertight chest zip entry system minimizes water ingress
- Durable nylon construction built for heavy-duty daily use
- Ergonomic fit allows for high-performance paddle comfort
Cons
- Not suitable for warm-water conditions
- Chest zip systems require practice for smooth entry/exit
- Requires careful rinsing and drying to maintain material integrity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting into your wetsuit properly is essential for both comfort and longevity. Step into the legs first, ensuring the knee pads are aligned correctly before pulling the suit up to your waist. Once seated, pull the arms on, and finally, close the chest zip by pulling the panel over your head and securing the toggle.
Care instructions are vital: always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every session to remove salt and debris. Hang your suit inside out on a wide-shoulder wetsuit hanger in a shaded area. Never dry your wetsuit in direct sunlight or use a heat source, as this will degrade the neoprene and the nylon integrity over time.
