Vissla 7 Seas 6/5 Full Hooded Chest

How to keep your Vissla 7 Seas 6/5 in top shape:

• Rinsing: Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly inside and out with cold, fresh water after each use to remove salt, sand, and sweat.
• Drying: Hang the suit to dry on a wide wetsuit hanger in a cool, shady place. Avoid direct sunlight, as it breaks down the neoprene and fades the color.
• Handling: Avoid standing on the suit when putting it on or taking it off. Take extra care with the Smoothy panel on the back, as its smooth surface is more vulnerable.
• Storage: Store the suit hanging or loosely folded in a dry, cool place - never folded up in the car or in direct sunlight.
• General: Avoid contact with sharp objects, and never machine wash or tumble dry - this damages the neoprene and seams.

What is the Vissla 7 Seas 6/5 Full Hooded Chest Zip suitable for?

The wetsuit is designed for cold-water surfing and is especially suitable for winter and cold climates, where the 6/5 mm neoprene and built-in hood provide maximum warmth.

Why does the wetsuit have a chest zip?

The chest zip creates a tight seal at the chest. Combined with triple-glued, blind-stitched seams and Neo 3.0 tape, it significantly reduces water entry compared with a back zip.

What is the wetsuit made of?

The material consists of 80% neoprene and 20% nylon, and the neoprene itself is 100% super-stretch Japanese limestone neoprene.

How do I keep the wetsuit in good condition?

Rinse it thoroughly in fresh water, inside and out, after each use, and hang it to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, and be careful with the Smoothy panel on the back when taking the wetsuit off and putting it on.

Does the wetsuit come with a warranty?

Yes, Vissla provides a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase on all seams and a 1-year warranty on the neoprene.

Which details help keep the cold out?

In addition to the hood, the wetsuit has a wind-blocking Smoothy panel on the back, a glideskin hood seal, liquid tape cuffs at the wrists, and a thermal lining in the torso and legs.

Do I need extra accessories for cold water?

Vissla recommends pairing the wetsuit with wetsuit boots and gloves when the water is really cold, to keep your whole body warm.
