MORE ECO-FRIENDLY NEOPRENE.

Before designing each wetsuit, Vissla always considers how to make it as eco-friendly as possible.

LIMESTONE-BASED NEOPRENE.

We use earth mined limestone to replace petrochemicals in our neoprene. It comes from nature and has less environmental impact.

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 CO2emission by 200g per wetsuit.

DOPE-DYED YARN.

All black interior & exterior jersey material and Neo 2.0 super stretch black tape are made using dope-dyed yarns. Dope-dying infuses dye pigments into molten plastic solution to produce colored yarns without the dying process. This saves tremendous amounts of water while reducing energy consumption and water pollution.

WATER-BASED GLUE.

We swapped out the conventional solvent glue for something that’s easier on the ocean - Aquaα® water-based lamination. This eliminates an excess of chemicals that are known to be harmful for the earth and for humans.

RECYCLED NYLON & POLYESTER.

A selection of our suits are knitted with recycled materials. This helps reduce waste and material consumption at the same time.
