Vissla Wetsuits

Wetsuit Thickness & Temperature Chart *

Finding the best men wetsuit is not always easy. You need to find the good thickness but also a wetsuit that will fit you and allow you a great freedom on the board. If you are a pro surfer you already know that but if not, some help is always welcomed. So here is our little guide to help you make the right decision. You need to pay attention to the ocean’s temperature and to the season you’d like to use your wetsuit. If you are lucky enough to live a few steps from the ocean, then you will need different wetsuits. At least a summer wetsuit and one for fall/winter. But if you only get the chance to go surfing during your holidays in Indonesia or any other warm and exotic destination, then your needs will be different. So here is what you need to know.
