Choosing a wetsuit thickness

The two numbers give the neoprene thickness in millimetres: 3mm through the torso and 2mm in the arms and legs. Around the UK, sea temperatures are roughly 7 to 10°C in winter and 15 to 18°C in late summer, so a 5/4mm or 6/5mm suit (often with boots, gloves and a hood) suits winter, a 4/3mm spring and autumn, and a 3/2mm the summer months.

Sizing

Sizes MS, M and L are listed. MS is Vissla's medium short size, a shorter fit than the standard M. Check your height and chest against the Vissla size chart before ordering.

Care

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