Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What water temperature is this wetsuit jacket best for?

This 1mm jacket is ideal for warm water conditions, typically ranging from 70°F (21°C) and above. It provides light insulation and wind protection.

How does limestone-based neoprene differ from traditional neoprene?

Limestone-based neoprene is generally lighter, warmer, softer, and stretchier than petroleum-based neoprene. It's also considered a more eco-friendly alternative.

What is the warranty on this product?

The Vissla 7 Seas 1mm Short Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket comes with a 1-year warranty covering all seams and neoprene from the original purchase date.

Can I wash this in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the neoprene and seams. Always follow the hand-wash care instructions by rinsing with fresh water.

Is this jacket suitable for full immersion in cold water?

No, this 1mm short sleeve jacket is designed for surface water sports in warm conditions. It does not offer sufficient insulation for prolonged immersion in cold water.

How do I attach the secure cord to my boardshorts?

The jacket features a side toggle with a loop designed to thread through the tie or loop of most standard boardshorts, creating a secure connection.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure the jacket is fully unzipped and that you are wearing it correctly. Limestone-based neoprene is designed to be very stretchy; if it still feels overly restrictive, it might be a size issue.

Chafing or irritation from seams

The flat lock stitching is designed to minimize this. Ensure the jacket fits properly. For very sensitive skin, consider wearing a rash guard underneath.

Zipper is difficult to close or open

Gently work the zipper. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider. A small amount of wax or lubricant designed for wetsuit zippers can help if it feels stiff.

Material seems stiff after drying

This is usually temporary. Ensure the jacket was rinsed thoroughly with fresh water. Avoid drying in direct sun, which can make neoprene brittle. Flexibility should return once the material is slightly warmed and stretched.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Vissla 7 Seas 1mm Short Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket requires no assembly. Simply put it on.

Compatibility: The side toggle with a boardshort compatible secure cord ensures it can be worn with most standard boardshorts, creating a secure system.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, rinse the wetsuit jacket inside and out with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Hang Dry: Hang the jacket to dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene over time.
  3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use detergents or bleach. Clean only with fresh water.
  4. Storage: Store loosely folded or hung in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources.
