Vissla Seven Seas Comp Full Chest Zip

The Seven Seas Comp is a 4/3mm suit designed for cool water conditions, with a minimum recommended temperature of 56 degrees Fahrenheit. It balances warmth with high flexibility, making it ideal for shoulder-season sessions.

Unlike traditional petroleum-based neoprene, Japanese limestone-based neoprene is lighter, softer, and offers better heat retention. It also absorbs less water, which keeps the suit feeling lighter and more comfortable during long sessions.

The minimalist chest-zip entry is designed for a balance of security and ease of use. While it requires a bit more technique than a back-zip to put on, it provides a much better seal against water flushing and allows for significantly more flexibility across your back and shoulders.

The seams are triple-glued and double-blind stitched, which is a high-standard construction method for preventing water entry. Vissla also reinforces high-stress areas with specialized tape to ensure the suit holds up to the rigors of frequent paddling.

Dope-dyed fabric is an eco-friendly process that infuses color directly into the fiber during the manufacturing stage, rather than dyeing the fabric after it is woven. This process significantly reduces water and energy consumption while ensuring the color is more resistant to fading from sun and salt exposure.
