RIP CURL E-BOMB ZIP FREE 3/2 | ZIP-FREE SURF WETSUIT

ZIP-FREE, LIMITLESS: THE WETSUIT THAT ADAPTS TO YOU

There are wetsuits, and then there is the Rip Curl E-Bomb Zip Free 3/2. Designed for surfers who demand the most from every session, it combines the most advanced materials in the E-Bomb range with a zip-free entry system that eliminates restrictions, leaks, and wear points. The result is a suit that disappears on your body so you can focus solely on surfing.

WHY THE E-BOMB ZIP FREE 3/2 IS IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN

The engine of this suit is E7 neoprene: Rip Curl's most stretchable material, up to 10% more elastic than its E6 predecessor, specifically designed to offer maximum freedom of movement and minimize fatigue during long sessions. E7 is used in the upper body—where paddling demands the most—while E6 Thermo Lining covers the lower body, ensuring warmth and flexibility without compromising durability.

The Zip Free system is not just a design detail: it is the latest addition to high-end suits, allowing for greater mobility and making the wetsuit much more watertight by eliminating the water entry points associated with traditional zippers. Putting it on requires learning a technique, but once mastered, there is no turning back.

100% GBS seams with internal taping guarantee total watertightness without sacrificing flexibility. Sealed cuffs prevent water from entering through the wrists, one of the most problematic areas during long sessions.

EXPERT ADVICE

The E-Bomb Zip Free 3/2 is our go-to wetsuit for the spring and autumn months in the Atlantic and Cantabrian seas, and for winter in the Mediterranean. The combination of E7 on the upper body and E6 Thermo Lining on the lower body makes it an extraordinarily agile suit for paddling without sacrificing warmth. It is not the easiest suit to put on—the zip-free system requires practice—but once you master it, the difference in comfort and freedom of movement is immediate and obvious. We recommend checking the Rip Curl size guide before choosing: E-Bomb wetsuits tend to have a snugger fit than other models from the brand.

RIP CURL WARRANTY | THE SEARCH NEVER ENDS

Rip Curl was founded in 1969 by Doug Warbrick and Brian Singer in Torquay, Australia. What began as a small family business in search of better surfing equipment has become one of the most iconic brands in global surfing, present today in over 60 countries. The E-Bomb range represents the pinnacle of their wetsuit technology: each generation incorporates the advancements developed alongside professional athletes from the world circuit.

The natural rubber foam and water-based, solvent-free lamination of the E-Bomb Zip Free reflect Rip Curl's active commitment to sustainability in wetsuit manufacturing.

With proof of purchase from an authorized dealer, Rip Curl offers a 3-year warranty on seams and 12 months on materials—including neoprene, kneepads, tape, and zippers. The European repair workshop is located in Soorts-Hossegor (France) and provides service to all European countries.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR E-BOMB ZIP FREE WETSUIT

• Rinse with cold fresh water after each session, inside out
• Do not wring or twist—hang by the waist on a wide hanger to avoid damaging the shoulders
• Dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
• Do not use harsh detergents or bleach
• Store in a cool, dry place, without deep creases
• Practice the zip-free entry technique while dry before your first session

SIZE GUIDE — RIP CURL E-BOMB ZIP FREE 3/2 WETSUIT

Rip Curl uses its own sizing system for wetsuits. E-Bomb models tend to fit snugger than the Dawn Patrol range: if you are between two sizes, we recommend sizing up. The correct fit is snug without restricting breathing or paddling. Consult with our team if you have any questions.
