Rip Curl Men's Flashbomb 3/2mm GB Chest Zip Steamer is one of the warmest surfing wetsuits you can buy in the current wetsuit climate, the suit stretches like mad too. As the unofficial kings of wetsuit construction, you can be assured that Rip Curl's top-of-the-range Flashbomb 3/2mm Chest Zip wetsuit has cut no corners. This Flashbomb is a flag-ship suit featuring only Ripcurl's best materials and construction techniques. Depending on how you tolerate the cold, this suit will keep you stoked from 16-22C - get some boots and gloves if you feel the cold.
Take the best materials on the market, stick them together with high-stretch and water-tight GBS seam, Flash polyfleece lining and a chest-zip enclosure and you've got superior warmth and stretch - if you're tossing up between this and the no-zip version, just remember the no zip will be moderately stretchier whilst sacrificing the durability that a zipper provides. If you want to feel like you're wearing nothing at all, even though it's 10 degrees out, this is the suit for you.
If you're considering a six hundred dollar suit you probably know what you're talking about but 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 added bonus of the mesh skin is its great solar heat absorption, perhaps a result of the fact it's dry!

Rip Curl Men's Flashbomb 3/2mm GB Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit Features:
- E6 Neoprene: A contender for the stretchiest and warmest material on the market. Unrivalled stretch, great warmth, supreme comfort and softness are part in the parcel to Rip Curl's top line wetsuits.
- E6 Flash Lining: By engineering, two individual layers within their poly fleece 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.
- Chest Zip: Once you go front zip you'll never go back! That's because the chest zip fixes a fundamental flaw of the back zip, which is that it limits your ability to curve your back! Get the goss on .
- 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 .
- E6 Flash Lining Tape
