The Vissla Solid Sets 2mm Front Zip Long Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket is designed for surfers and water sports enthusiasts seeking a balance between high-end performance and classic retro aesthetics. Featuring 100% super stretch limestone-based neoprene, it provides excellent thermal insulation and flexibility for active movement; however, users should note that as a jacket-only configuration, it is best suited for milder water temperatures rather than extreme cold.

Yes, it is excellent for any water activity where core warmth and arm movement are required, such as stand-up paddleboarding or kayaking.
The jacket should be snug against your skin to prevent excess water flushing, but not so tight that it restricts your breathing or arm movement.
No, you should never machine wash or machine dry this jacket as it will permanently damage the neoprene and the seam integrity.
Yes, UV exposure is the primary cause of premature neoprene degradation, which is why shaded air drying is strictly recommended.
Limestone-based neoprene is considered more eco-friendly than traditional petroleum-based alternatives and offers superior cellular structure for warmth.
Check for sand or salt buildup in the teeth and rinse thoroughly with fresh water; consider using a specialized zipper wax if needed.
Ensure the boardshort-compatible secure cord is properly looped through the drawstring of your boardshorts.
Soak the jacket in a specialized wetsuit shampoo or a mild vinegar-water solution to neutralize odor-causing bacteria.
To ensure your Vissla jacket remains in top condition, proper maintenance is essential. Always rinse the jacket thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use, even if you only paddled for a short time. Avoid using soaps or detergents that can degrade the neoprene. When drying, always hang the jacket on a wide, plastic hanger in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause the material to become brittle and lose its elasticity. Never wring out the jacket, as this can damage the glued seams.
