The Vissla 7 Seas 5mm Claw wetsuit glove is designed for cold-water surfers and ocean enthusiasts who need reliable thermal protection in temperatures between 8 and 12° C (46 - 53° F). Featuring a unique claw design for dexterity and a high-performance thermal lining, these gloves are built to minimize water entry and maximize grip, though users should note that the specialized sealing requires careful drying to ensure the integrity of the materials remains intact over time.

These gloves are specifically engineered for cold water ranging from 8 to 12° C (46 - 53° F).
No. Heat will damage the neoprene and the seam seals. Always air dry in a cool, shaded area.
The claw design separates the index finger, allowing for better dexterity and control when grabbing your board or adjusting your leash compared to a standard mitten.
Generally, a thorough rinse with fresh water is sufficient. If odor becomes an issue, use a wetsuit-specific shampoo, never use harsh detergents.
The gloves should fit snugly but not be so tight that they restrict blood flow, as a tight fit can actually make your hands colder.
Taitex is a specialized seam sealant applied to glued and blind-stitched seams to prevent water entry and increase durability.
Ensure the water-tight cuffs are tucked snugly under your wetsuit sleeve to create a proper seal against your skin.
Ensure you are storing them in a well-ventilated, shaded area and check that the inside is not bundled up; laying them flat is essential.
Avoid sharp objects or fingernails when putting the gloves on, as the Taitex sealing can be punctured if handled roughly.
To ensure the longevity of your Vissla 7 Seas gloves, it is critical to follow a strict maintenance routine after each session. Always rinse the gloves thoroughly with cold, fresh water to remove salt and debris, which can degrade the neoprene and seam seals. When drying, lay the gloves flat in a cool, shaded environment. Never wring out the gloves or leave them in direct sunlight, as UV rays and heat can cause the neoprene to become brittle and the seam seals to delaminate. Ensure the water-tight cuffs are pulled down over your wetsuit sleeves to prevent cold water from entering the suit.
