Vissla New Seas 5-4 Hooded U-Zip Wetsuit
MW543NEH-BLK-S
New Seas Wetsuits
In collaboration with Axxe Classic, U-Zip Entry
Made for cold water: 44-53°F / 8-12°C
The 5-4 Hooded New Seas is for the dark months, the empty line-ups and the sessions that reward only the committed. The Axxe U-Zip opens shoulder to shoulder for an easy entry and seals shut against the flush, the hood holds the heat where it matters, and the limestone rubber stays improbably stretchy for something this warm. Deep-winter armour that still lets you surf.
The U-Zip complete closure does three things:
• Increases range of motion with minimal layers around the neck and shoulders, making it far easier to paddle.
• Makes the suit easier to get on and off than any chest zip on the market.
• Seals the entry shoulder to shoulder to prevent flushing.
+ WARMTH & STRETCH
• Feather-Foam: significantly less weight, more flexibility and superior comfort. Feather-Foam Japanese limestone-based neoprene contains recycled oyster shells, recycled rubber and eco-carbon black.
• The most flexible high-performance Recycled Ridiculous Rubber jersey used in any of our wetsuits, so stretchy it is silly: the softest, stretchiest upper torso and arms for an unrestricted full range of motion.
• Body panels include Recycled Rebound jersey, eco-friendly, lighter and flexible, with all anti-fade stretch jerseys laminated using solvent-free AquaA water-based lamination in Bluesign-approved mills.
• Thermal Fever Fiber lining adds stretch, insulates heat and dries fast.
+ FIT
• The most flexible watertight hooded suit Vissla makes, with a cosy-fit hood for a better range of motion.
• Anatomically engineered 3D body panelling with minimal seams for unrestricted performance and warmth.
+ DURABLE & WATERTIGHT
• U-Zip complete closure to prevent flushing, our most watertight design.
• Triple-glued, blind-stitched seams.
• Smoothy panels on the hood and back, wind and water-repellent, act as a barrier against the cold where it is needed most.
• Vissla super-stretch Neo 3.0 tape for maximum seam sealing without losing stretch.
• Easy-access secure key cord.
• Knee pad in upcycled Supratex, abrasion-resistant for flexibility and strength.
• Glideskin hood seals to the skin to prevent flushing.
• Liquid-tape cuffs seal to prevent flushing at the wrists.
+ RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
• Surfing in cold water? Pair the hooded suit with booties and gloves to stay toasty in the coldest sessions. See our Cold Water Necessities.
+ CARE
• Treat with special care. Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly inside and out with fresh water.
• Hang dry in a cool, shaded spot, out of direct sunlight. When changing, avoid standing on the wetsuit.
• Smoothy panels: take extra care putting the suit on and off.
+ WETSUIT WARRANTY
• 1 year from original purchase date on all seams.
• 1 year from original purchase date on neoprene.
• 6 months from original purchase date on smoothy material; improper care such as fingernail punctures is not covered.
Most importantly, enjoy!

Bluesign
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.
Eco Carbon Black
Carbon Black, one of the key ingredients of neoprene, can now be made from scrap rubber tires. This significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts CO2 emission by 200g per wetsuit.
AquaA Water Based Glue
Aqua Alpha lamination glue is water based and completely solvent free with no harmful chemicals. Aqua Alpha replaces traditional solvent based glues in the lamination process which usually harm the health of the workers and the environment.
Limestone Based Neoprene
We used earth mined limestone to replace petrochemicals in our neoprene. It comes from nature and has less environmental impact.
Dope Dyed Yarn
All black, dark grey, and navy wetsuits, black inside liners, & Neo 2.0 super stretch black tape are dope dyed. Dope-dying infuses dye pigments into molten plastic solution to produce colored yarns without dying process. This saves tremendous amounts of water while reducing energy consumption and water pollution.
Tailored Fit
Anatomically correct engineered body lines allow for unrestricted warmth and performance.
Durable & Water Tight
Chest zip entry creates minimal bulk with contoured watertight design. Seams are triple hand glued, double blind stitched. Knee pad is anatomically correct, flexible, and strong.
