The Ins and outs of Vissla wetsuits
The Ins and outs of Vissla wetsuits
MORE ECO-FRIENDLY NEOPRENE
Before designing each wetsuit, Vissla always considers how to make it
as eco-friendly as possible.
Eco Carbon Black
Carbon Black, one of the key ingredients of neoprene, is now pyrolyzed from scrap rubber tires. This significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts CO2 emission by 200g per wetsuit.
Limestone-Based Neoprene
We use earth-mined limestone from Japan to replace petrochemicals in our neoprene. It comes from nature and has less environmental impact.
Water-Based Glue
Aqua-A™ lamination glue is water-based and completely solvent-free with no harmful chemicals. Aqua-A™ replaces traditional solvent-based glues in the lamination process.
Bluesign Certified Mills
Our fabric mills have received the Bluesign System Partner certification. In addition to monitoring the reasonable use of chemicals, the partnership ensures that our manufacturer's energy and water resource utilization efficiency and waste disposal all comply with the most demanding standards in the global textile industry.
Dope-Dyed Yarns
All black, all interiors, black inside liners, & Neo 2.0 super stretch black tape are dope dyed. Dope dying infuses dye pigments into a molten plastic solution to produce colored yarns without the dying process. This saves tremendous amounts of water while reducing energy consumption and water pollution.
Recycled Nylon
A wide selection of our wetsuit materials are knitted with yarns made from recycled fabrics. This helps reduce waste and material consumption at the same time Keeps You Warm.
7 SEAS
The 7 Seas features just the right amount of Thermal Brain Fuzz lining to insulate your suit for a toasty interior without restricting any movement.
Simply Good Looking. Everything you need in a wetsuit, nothing you don’t.
With minimal branding the 7 Seas offers an elevated, simplistic look so you don’t get confused for a Nascar driver when headed to the beach.

NORTH SEAS
An ode to the cold water surfer.
Eco-Friendly

The new North Seas is a true testament to the new technology available in wetsuit manufacturing. Rather than using a solvent-based glue, we’ve ditched the chemicals and moved to a more eco-friendly water-based adhesive for all seams. In addition, the jersey used on the North Seas wetsuit utilizes recycled fibers upcycled from discarded plastic bottles. The jersey on 1 wetsuit is made up of approximately 45 plastic bottles.
