Choosing a wetsuit jacket

A 1mm jacket suits the warmest part of the UK season, when sea temperatures reach roughly 15 to 18°C in late summer, or warmer water abroad. For spring and autumn most surfers move to a 3/2mm or 4/3mm full suit.

Sizing

Sizes listed: S, M and L. Check the Vissla size chart before ordering; a wetsuit should fit snugly without gaps at the back or underarms.

Care

Rinse the suit inside and out with fresh water after each use and hang it to dry in a cool, shaded spot out of direct sunlight. Avoid standing on the wetsuit when changing.
