Product Information
Full details
The Vissla 7 Seas 2-2 Long John Wetsuit is designed for the everyday surfer who prioritizes unrestricted movement and thermal regulation in mild water conditions. Constructed from 100% super stretch Japanese limestone-based neoprene, this wetsuit offers a superior, lightweight fit that enhances paddling performance, though the sleeveless long john design means it provides less core insulation than a full-sleeve steamer.

FAQs
Is this suit suitable for winter surfing?
No, the 2-2mm thickness and sleeveless design are intended for mild to warm water temperatures, not winter conditions.
How should I store the wetsuit?
Always hang it on a wide, sturdy hanger in a shaded area to prevent shoulder deformation and neoprene degradation.
Can I machine wash the suit?
No, machine washing can damage the neoprene and the glue. Always hand-rinse with fresh water.
What does 'limestone-based' neoprene mean?
It means the base material is derived from limestone rather than petroleum, making it more sustainable and often more buoyant and warm.
How tight should the suit feel?
The suit should be snug but not restrictive. If it feels like it is cutting off circulation, it is too small.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting into the suit
Ensure the suit is completely dry on the inside before putting it on, or try wearing a thin nylon lycra layer to reduce friction.
Water flushing through seams
Check for any small tears or tape lifting. If found, use a wetsuit-specific neoprene glue to seal the area.
Loss of flexibility over time
This is often caused by salt buildup. Perform a deep soak in fresh water to dissolve trapped mineral crystals.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional flexibility and freedom of motion
- Eco-friendly limestone-based construction
- Lightweight and soft material feel
- Durable seam integrity via triple-gluing
- Easy entry and exit via shoulder velcro
Cons
- Sleeveless design provides limited warmth in cold water
- Velcro may wear out over long-term frequent use
- Requires specific care to maintain neoprene elasticity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your wetsuit maintains its integrity, avoid pulling excessively on the neoprene when putting it on. Always check that your fingernails are trimmed to prevent punctures.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Rinse the suit thoroughly inside and out with fresh, cold water immediately after every surf session to remove salt and minerals.
- Do not use soaps or detergents unless specifically designed for wetsuits.
- Hang dry the suit on a thick plastic hanger away from direct sunlight, as UV rays break down neoprene quickly.
- Store the suit in a cool, dry place once fully dry, ensuring it is not folded tightly for extended periods to prevent creasing.
