Rip Curl Flashbomb Fusion Fullsuit

No, the hood is permanently integrated into the suit design. This construction is intentional to eliminate seams and gaps, ensuring a completely water-tight seal that prevents cold water flushing around the neck and head.

The 5/4mm thickness is engineered for frigid conditions, typically performing best in water temperatures ranging from 45°F to 55°F (7°C to 13°C). It provides the thermal retention necessary for long sessions in cold climates.

The chest zip entry offers significantly more flexibility across the back and shoulders because it removes the long, rigid zipper panel found on back-zip suits. This allows for a more natural paddling motion and less restriction while surfing.

Rip Curl wetsuits generally follow a standard sizing chart, but because this is a high-performance suit designed for a snug, water-tight fit, it should feel very form-fitting. If you are between sizes, we recommend prioritizing your height first to ensure the torso length is correct.

Always rinse your suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every session to remove salt and sand. Hang it to dry in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight, which can degrade the neoprene and weaken the seams over time.
