Rip Curl Flashbomb Fusion Wetsuit

The Flashbomb Fusion is rated for water temperatures down to 48 degrees Fahrenheit. Its 4/3mm thickness and E7 Flash Lining are specifically engineered to provide thermal retention in these colder conditions.

Instead of using needle-and-thread stitching that creates holes in the neoprene, this suit uses advanced bonding techniques. This eliminates potential leak points entirely, keeping you drier and warmer for longer.

Yes, the E7 Flash Lining is designed to dry rapidly between sessions. It also adds a layer of warmth and comfort against the skin, which is a significant upgrade over standard neoprene linings.

The chest-zip entry is designed for a balance of security and accessibility. While it requires a bit more technique than a back-zip, it provides a much better seal and a more streamlined fit that won't restrict your paddling movement.

The E7 neoprene is Rip Curl's high-stretch material, which offers excellent mobility. Because the suit relies on bonded seams rather than stiff stitching, you will notice significantly less resistance in the shoulders and back while paddling.

Rip Curl uses water-based lamination in the construction of this suit, which reduces the use of harmful solvents. It is a more conscious manufacturing approach compared to traditional neoprene production methods.
