Product Information

Full details

The SISSTR 7 Seas 5/4 Chest Zip Wetsuit is a high-performance solution for surfers operating in cold water conditions ranging from 44 to 53 degrees Fahrenheit (8-12 degrees Celsius). Crafted from super stretch Japanese limestone-based neoprene, this suit provides excellent warmth and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for serious cold-water surfing. However, potential users should note that the high-performance design requires careful maintenance, specifically regarding rinsing and shade-drying, to preserve the integrity of the specialized seam sealing and thermal linings.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the recommended temperature range for this suit?

This wetsuit is designed for cold water conditions ranging from 44 to 53 degrees Fahrenheit (8-12 degrees Celsius).

How should I clean my wetsuit?

Rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every session and hang it to dry in the shade away from direct sunlight.

Can I machine wash or tumble dry the suit?

No. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as the heat and agitation will damage the neoprene, thermal lining, and adhesive seams.

What does 5/4 mean?

The numbers refer to the neoprene thickness in millimeters. 5mm is used in the core area for maximum warmth, and 4mm is used in the limbs to maintain flexibility.

Is the neoprene petroleum-based?

No, this suit uses Japanese limestone-based neoprene, which is an alternative to traditional petroleum-based materials.

Troubleshooting

Water flushing through the neck

Ensure the Glideskin seal is lying flat against your skin without any hair or suit lining caught underneath.

Difficulty getting into the chest zip

Step into the legs first, pull the suit up to your waist, then maneuver one arm at a time. Ensure the chest panel is properly aligned before zipping.

Suit feels stiff or heavy

This often indicates salt accumulation. Perform a deep rinse with fresh water and ensure the suit is completely dry between sessions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal retention for cold water temperatures
  • High level of elasticity for unrestricted range of motion
  • Eco-conscious material choices including limestone neoprene and solvent-free lamination
  • Durable seam construction with internal taping
  • Rapid drying internal lining

Cons

  • Requires manual maintenance to ensure longevity
  • Specific temperature range limitation
  • Chest-zip entry may be more challenging to get into for some users compared to back-zip

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care is essential to maintaining the structural integrity of your wetsuit. To ensure the longest life for your SISSTR 7 Seas:

  1. Rinsing: Always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use, both inside and out, to remove salt and mineral buildup.
  2. Drying: Hang the suit to dry in the shade. Direct sunlight damages neoprene and can cause the seams or tape to degrade over time.
  3. Storage: Avoid folding the suit for long periods; instead, use a wide hanger to keep it upright and wrinkle-free.
  4. Handling: When putting the suit on, avoid using fingernails against the neoprene to prevent punctures or tears. Use your fingertips to adjust the fit.
