Vissla Men's High Seas II 4/3mm Zipperless Wetsuit, Full Suit

The Vissla High Seas II 4/3mm is a men's zipperless full wetsuit for spring and autumn surfing. It is aimed at experienced surfers: Vissla notes that a no-zip suit takes more flexibility to put on than a chest or back zip.

• Lining: Thermal Fever Fiber lining

• Seals: Liquid taped cuffs and Glideskin neck seal
• Extras: Supratex knee pads and a secure key cord

Choosing a wetsuit thickness

The two numbers give the neoprene thickness in millimetres: the first is the torso, the second the arms and legs. UK sea temperatures run at 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 suits spring and autumn, and a 3/2mm suits summer.

Sizing

Vissla sizes run XS to XL. MS and LS are medium short and large short; MT and LT are medium tall and large tall, for the same chest size with a shorter or longer body length. Sizes listed: S, MS, MT, L and XL (not every size in every colour). 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.
