Vissla x Axxe: Collaborative Eco Surf Wetsuits Pushing Natural Materials Forward
The Vissla x Axxe collaboration brings together two eco-conscious surf brands around a shared commitment: building high-performance wetsuits from materials that don't start with petroleum. Axxe is Japan's pioneering natural rubber wetsuit brand — the first to commercialize neoprene-free wetsuit construction using natural Hevea rubber from sustainable plantation forests. Vissla's design language and surf culture perspective meet Axxe's materials expertise in a collaboration that pushes both brands' eco commitments further than either would reach alone.
About Axxe: Japan's Natural Rubber Surf Wetsuits
Axxe has been building natural Hevea rubber wetsuits in Japan since the 1990s. Natural Hevea rubber is biodegradable, derived from rubber tree plantations rather than petroleum, and delivers warmth and stretch characteristics comparable to synthetic neoprene. The Vissla x Axxe collaboration applies this natural rubber construction philosophy to Vissla's California surf aesthetic and design approach.
Benefits of the Vissla x Axxe Collection
