Vissla wetsuits is now a well established brand in the wetsuit world, with the heritage that comes from its founders who were strongly involved in the development of the Billabong wetsuit program its going from strength to strength and now challenging the more established wetsuit brands.

The Vissla wetsuit brand represents creative freedom, a forward-thinking philosophy, and a generation of creators and innovators. A bit of marketing fluff for sure but the wetsuits look good, fit well and are proving durable, and are becoming more popular with every season that passes.

One of the key developments in the wetsuit range is the use of petroleum free neoprene to make wetsuits with less environmental impact. Spearheading this innovation is the Vissla 7 Seas wetsuit range including the Vissla 3/2 wetsuit and the Vissla 4/3 wetsuit.

The range of Vissla Steamers is growing all the time, new colours, different panel layouts which all goes to make for a range that looks good as well as performing well at the very top level.

Vissla Wetsuits

One of the reasons we decided to stock this range of wetsuits is because of the back up, warranty issues are solved expediently (we’ve only had a couple so far in over 1000 suits sold!) and the steady flow of cool but relevant videos and blogs keeps our surfing stoke up there.

The people building the brand are all surfers and so totally get what we’re looking for in a wetsuit, we want it to be super comfortable, lightweight, quick drying, warm, stylish and we want it to last 10 years! They might not be able to nail the 10 years bit but they’re pretty much there with the rest of it! 

Please see below for reviews and video’s showing the wetsuits benefits and how they work when being surfed in a multiple of conditions by various surfers.

Sizing is always the trickiest part of buying a wetsuit so we’ve put together a super detailed size chart in conjunction with Vissla. These suits are so stretchy that there is room for variance on the exact measurements, and given that you may not have had one before the sizing is very similar to O’Neill wetsuits!

Vissla 7 Seas

The Vissla 7 Seas would be classed as Vissla’s bread and butter suit, but do not be fooled by this, the wetsuit is one of the most durable and well fitting suits out of them all.

Surfing all last summer in a 3/2mm 7 Sea Vissla wetsuit was fantastic. The suit offers zero resistance when paddling and is super stretchy and flexible for when you are popping up and actually riding waves.
