Vissla Warm Seas Eco Hooded Lycra. A surf top for days when you want coverage without a full wetsuit. UPF 50+ sun protection and Four-way stretch fabric give this model its character. Made with 85% recycled polyester, 15% recycled spandex.
Choose your sleeve cut and fit around the way you plan to wear it.
The compression fit is the starting point for sizing; compare it with the shape you normally choose. Further details include Raglan sleeves, Quick-drying fabric, Loop for attachment to boardshorts, Flatlock seams.
Does this replace a wetsuit?
No. A rash vest and a neoprene wetsuit have different roles. Choose your layers around the conditions and the coverage you need.
How should I choose the fit?
Check the Vissla size guide. If you want a looser fit, compare the measurements carefully before selecting a larger size.
The Warm Seas Eco Hooded Lycra is a surf layer with a different job from a full neoprene suit. If you need a hand choosing, use our live chat for proper advice from the Sunderland shop.
