Name: Rip Curl Flashbomb 5/3mm Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit
SKU: 926934

Rip Curl Flashbomb 5/3mm Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit stretches like no other wetsuit on the market meaning you'll stay comfortable in the water whilst also staying warm. It is made from Rip Curl's high-end E6 Neoprene and E6 flash-lining and flash-lining tape so it doesn't compromise on durability either.

Take the best materials on the market, stick them together with high-stretch and water-tight GBS seam, Flash polyfleece lining and a no-zip enclosure and you've got superior warmth and stretch. If you want to feel like you're wearing nothing at all, even though its 10 degrees out, this is the suit for you.

If you're considering a near six hundred dollar suit you probably know what you're talking about but in 2021 Rip Curl have added some tech features which may fly under the radar such as the Mesh Skin.

This external lining is a subtle take on the traditional 'smooth-skin' material typically found on the chest panel, which is designed to repel water, therefore reduce wind-chill, however, the additional bonus of the mesh skin is it's great solar heat absorption, perhaps a result of the fact it's dry.

Rip Curl Mens Flashbomb 5/3mm Steamer Features:

E5 Neoprene: A contender for the stretchiest and warmest material on the market. Unrivaled stretch, great warmth, supreme comfort and softness are part in parcel to Rip Curl's top line wetsuits.
E5 Flash Lining: By engineering two individual layers within their polyfleece lining Rip Curl have effectively created a funnel in which water will move along. The suit is not only warmer because of this but when you stand up any trapped water will flow down through the suit.
Glued and Blind Stitched Seams: A high performance seam is one that has a great deal of stretch but is also sealed and a GBS seam ticks both of those boxes. The only downfall is durability but Rip Curl have remedied this with their E5 Tape. Learn more about seams on .
E5 Tape: A neoprene 'tape' that is laid along the inside of the seams to increase durability and is super comfy on the skin, much more so than stitching.
Chest Zip: The ideal zipper for surfing that preserves the flexibility of the neoprene panels. Learn which wetsuit entry system is best for you on .
Lock Slide Closure: Adjustable closure that helps seal the shoulder entry of the Zipperless Flashbomb.
Mesh Skin: An external coating that absorbs solar heat but repels water, creating an outside layer that improves heat retention and limits wind-chill.
Magnetic Stash Pocket: Just like the usual stash pocket but sealed by a magnet, not a zip- zips have historically fused because of the zip is small, therefore the teeth are tiny.
