Full details
The Sisstr 7 Seas 6/5 Hooded Chest Zip Wetsuit is designed for cold-water surfers who prioritize maximum warmth without sacrificing mobility. Crafted with 100% super stretch Japanese limestone-based neoprene, this suit provides exceptional insulation and freedom of movement, making it ideal for harsh winter conditions. A key benefit is its fast-drying Thermal Brain Fuzz lining, though users should be prepared for the added bulk that comes with a heavy-duty 6/5mm suit thickness.

FAQs
Is this suit suitable for sub-zero water temperatures?
Yes, the 6/5mm thickness combined with the integrated hood is specifically designed for very cold water conditions.
Can I machine wash my wetsuit?
No, never machine wash or dry your wetsuit. Always hand wash in cold, fresh water.
What is the benefit of limestone neoprene?
Limestone neoprene is more environmentally friendly than petroleum-based neoprene, and it is lighter, softer, and provides better heat retention.
How should I store my wetsuit long-term?
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably lying flat or on a specialized wide-shoulder hanger.
Does the suit come with a warranty?
Sisstr wetsuits generally include a warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Please consult your point of purchase for specific regional warranty terms.
Troubleshooting
Water flushing through the chest zip
Ensure the internal barrier flap is pulled up securely and positioned correctly before zipping the chest closure.
Difficulty getting the suit on
Ensure your skin is dry or use a plastic bag over your feet and hands to help them slide through the cuffs more easily.
Foul odor after repeated use
Soak the suit in a dedicated wetsuit shampoo solution to neutralize bacteria and salt buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure longevity, 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, plastic wetsuit hanger in a shaded area; avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays break down neoprene over time. When putting on the suit, take care with fingernails to avoid nicks in the neoprene. Store the suit lying flat or on a thick hanger to prevent shoulder creasing.
