Vissla Men’s New Seas 2/2mm Short Sleeve U-Zip Steamer Wetsuit - Black 2

Vissla New Seas 2/2mm Short Sleeve U-Zip Steamer Wetsuit - Black 2

Short sleeves. Full-length legs. More freedom for the paddle out. The Vissla Men’s New Seas 2/2mm Short Sleeve U-Zip Steamer is for surfers who want leg coverage without a long-sleeve suit. Finished in Black 2, it keeps the look understated and the focus on getting in the water.

The Axxe Classic U-Zip entry opens across the shoulders, creating a wider opening for changing. Its closure is designed to help limit flushing while reducing layers around the neck and shoulders, supporting comfortable paddling and upper-body movement.

Feather-Foam Japanese limestone-based neoprene provides lightweight stretch, while Thermal Fever Fiber lining adds insulation and helps the suit dry between sessions. Recycled stretch jerseys and anatomically shaped panels complete a build focused on movement rather than bulk.

Construction That Counts

• 2/2mm short sleeve full suit: Short arms with coverage through the legs.
• Axxe Classic U-Zip: A wide-opening entry designed for easier changing and shoulder mobility.
• Sealed seams: Triple-glued, blind-stitched construction with Vissla Neo 3.0 stretch tape.
• Neck and cuff sealing: Glideskin at the neck and liquid-taped cuff seals help reduce flushing.
• Upcycled Supratex knee pads: Abrasion-resistant reinforcement where the suit meets the board.
• Secure key cord: A practical detail for keeping your surf setup simple.

When to Wear It

Vissla recommends this model for water around 17–20°C. It is a short-arm steamer for sessions when you want full leg coverage and lighter upper-body coverage. Wind, session length and individual cold tolerance also affect comfort.

FAQ

Vissla New Seas Short Sleeve U-Zip Wetsuit FAQs

Does this wetsuit have short or full-length legs?

This is a short sleeve steamer with full-length legs. It is not a short-leg springsuit.

What does 2/2mm mean?

Vissla lists this model as a 2/2mm wetsuit. It is a lighter-thickness option in the New Seas range, designed for cool-water sessions rather than heavy winter insulation.

What is the U-Zip entry?

The Axxe Classic U-Zip opens across the shoulders to create a wider entry. It is designed to make changing easier while supporting shoulder movement and helping limit flushing.

What water temperature is it designed for?

Vissla recommends approximately 17–20°C water for this model. Treat that as a guide rather than a guarantee: wind, time in the water and personal cold tolerance also matter.

Are the seams sealed?

Yes. The suit uses triple-glued, blind-stitched seams with Vissla Neo 3.0 stretch tape for additional seam sealing.

How should I care for it?

Rinse the wetsuit inside and out with fresh water after use, then dry it in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, standing on the suit when changing, and catching the material with fingernails.
