SIZING
-
Please use our size charts as a general guide to help you select your size for our ecoprene suits. If you have a specific sizing question or would like more information, please e-mail: info@nisicllective.com
-
Your wetsuit should be a snug fit when new and will loosen off ever so slightly once wet. Your wetsuit should be like a second skin, keeping you warm and comfortable
If the arms and legs are a little long or short, that is ok.
The torso and collar must be tight enough to hold out water, but not tight to the point it restricts your breathing.
The crotch and butt area should not be too loose where it folds or fills with too much water.
HOW TO WEAR
-
Our wetsuit collection is best suited for Spring/Summer climates, hence the use of the word “Springsuit”.
Despite our suits being insulating from the cold, your arms and legs will be exposed. We recommend wearing our suits in water temperatures of up to 18-23 C or 65-75 F and over.
-
It is entirely up to your personal preference! Some surfers like to go commando under their suit, however wearing a bikini or any form of swimwear for an extra layer is more than ok.
-
Wetsuits are an investment of money and your time to keep you warm and comfortable in the water.

Wetsuits come in several thicknesses measured in millimeters. The thickness of the wetsuit determines what temperatures it accommodates. In general, wetsuits come in five thicknesses:0.5 – 1 mm
2 mm
3 mm
4 mm
5+ mmAnything over 5mm tends to be a specialty product that you don’t need unless you’re swimming in the arctic. Each thickness matches a water temperature range;
> 22 degrees celsius – no wetsuit required
18-23 degrees celsius – 0.5mm to 2/1mm
16-20 degrees celsius – 2mm to 3/2mm
14-17 degrees celsius – 3/2mm to 4/3mm11-14 degrees celsius – 4/3mm to 5/4/3mm
0-11 degrees celsius – 5/4mm to 5/4/3mm
< 5 degrees celsius – 6/5mm to 6/5/4mm
Remember that water temps aren’t everything. An icy wind, air temperature, your sensitivity, and your activity all make a difference.
Sizing
Is there extra room in your knees, shoulders, or torso?Is lifting your head over your arms and moving your shoulders difficult?
Is it difficult to crouch down and move your arms?
If so, this is not a good fit.

What makes Nisi wetsuits different?
Nisi Wetsuits come in seperates for spring/summer climates.
We have flattering cuts that suit any shape.
We use Limestone and BIO-SS II Neoprene which is sustainable and keeps you warmer than regular neoprene rubber
We have a range of simplistic block colours that stand out
You can style your pieces any way that you like.
FABRIC
-
Nisi wetsuits are exclusively made from Ecoprene; Yamamoto Japanese limestone and BIO-SS, Bio-based neoprene. This is an eco-friendly alternative to regular petroleum based neoprene. Our mineral compounded ecoprene is impermeable, durable, lighter, warmer and extra stretchy.
-
In the 1960s a new type of neoprene was pioneered by Japan's Yamamoto Corporation.
Instead of regular neoprene, compounding of harmful petroleum chloroprene, Ecoprene is mined from calcium carbonate limestone to form chloroprene rubber chips. These chips are then melted down and infused with air bubbles, causing a result of a high micro-cell structure.
Having more air bubbles than regular neoprene, it is impermeable, lighter, warmer and extra stretchy.
-
Almost every suit will have a crease on it somewhere and it is not a reason to reject a wetsuit. Creases in neoprene do reduce the insulation of that area but they are not always permanent.
DO NOT iron your wetsuit.
Stretch the neoprene out on a flat surface like a table or floor, smooth the material with your hands, and wait 24 hours.
Wearing your suit will stretch the area and eventually the crease will go away
If this does not work, lay your suit flat and stretched taut for 24 hours to let it breathe.
-
Wetsuits are skin-tight, and are ideal for cold water, protection and allow you to move around easily. Drysuits on the other hand, are loose fitting, not designed for warmth and keep all water out completely.
-
When an order includes free shipping, only the cost of the return shipping is handled by the customer.

A note on returning wetsuits / neoprene:
Please fold the wetsuit neatly with the zipper exposed and not touching any neoprene (nor any other neoprene items if sending back several wetsuit pieces). This is because the neoprene surface is delicate and subject to marking / creasing.
