FAQs
Is this suit suitable for summer surfing?
No, the 6/5 thickness is specifically designed for cold water and will likely lead to overheating in warmer temperatures.
How should I clean my Sisstr wetsuit?
Rinse with fresh water after every session and use a dedicated wetsuit shampoo occasionally to remove odors.
What does the 6/5 signify?
It indicates the thickness of the neoprene: 6mm for the core/torso for maximum warmth and 5mm for the arms and legs for better mobility.
Can I machine wash the wetsuit?
Never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit, as this will destroy the neoprene and the seam seals.
Why is it made of limestone neoprene?
Limestone neoprene is more environmentally friendly, lighter, and more durable than traditional petroleum-based neoprene.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The suit should feel snug but not restrictive. Check the size guide specifically for the UK 8 sizing to ensure a proper seal.
Troubleshooting
Water flushing through the neck
Ensure the chest zip is fully zipped and the flap is correctly positioned over the neck seal.
Difficulty putting on the suit
Try using a plastic bag on your feet and hands to help them slide through the cuffs more easily.
Neoprene feeling stiff
Rinse thoroughly to remove salt buildup and ensure the suit is fully dried after each session.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your wetsuit, always rinse it with fresh, cool water after every use to remove salt and debris. Hang the suit inside out on a wide plastic hanger in the shade; never dry your suit in direct sunlight as UV rays degrade the neoprene over time. When putting on the suit, avoid using your fingernails to pull on the neoprene to prevent tears. Ensure the chest zip is fully engaged and the hood is tucked properly to maximize the seal. Store the suit in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
