RIP CURL ELASTO ZIP FREE 5/4 | WINTER ZIP-FREE WETSUIT

Rip Curl Elasto Zip Free 5/4: the winter wetsuit that forgets the zipper

When the water temperature drops, the last thing you need is a suit that steals your mobility. The Rip Curl Elasto Zip Free 5/4 is born from Elasto technology, the total-stretch neoprene that Rip Curl invented in 1995, now taken to its highest expression: no zipper, no stiff points, just neoprene and freedom of movement during the coldest sessions of the year.

WHY THIS SUIT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

• Zip-free chest entry system: hermetic seal that eliminates the weakest point of any wetsuit.
• Unlimited-stretch Elastomax neoprene, to savor winter waves without losing range of motion in the shoulders and arms.
• Quick-dry thermal lining in the core, designed for long sessions and multiple entries into the water on the same day.
• Reinforced seams and ergonomic kneepads that withstand intensive use season after season.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Thickness — 5 mm in the torso and legs, 4 mm in the arms, for the optimal balance between warmth and flexibility in cold water.
• Entry system — Zip Free chest entry with internal adjustment cord, without an external zipper.
• Neoprene — Elastomax, Rip Curl's Elasto technology with four-way stretch.
• Inner lining — Quick-dry thermal in the chest, back, and legs.
• Kneepads — Reinforced, pre-formed panel on both knees for greater durability.
• Internal pocket — Compartment with closure for a key.
• Cuffs — Sealed at ankles and wrists to minimize water entry.

ADVICE FROM OUR EXPERTS

A Zip Free suit is put on differently than a traditional chest zip: step in through the neck and adjust the internal cord before tucking in the chest panel properly. Take it easy the first few times you use it; getting in becomes faster once you get the hang of it, and in exchange, you gain a freedom of movement you won't find in a suit with a zipper.

RIP CURL WARRANTY — THE SEARCH

Rip Curl was born in 1969 in Torquay, Australia, at the hands of Doug Warbrick and Brian Singer, with an obsession: to manufacture the gear they needed themselves to surf more and better. That same obsession led the brand to create, in 1995, the first 100% elastic wetsuit in history: the original Elasto. Today, Rip Curl has been a Certified B Corp since 2023 and has kept its "The Search" philosophy alive since 1992, in addition to promoting initiatives like Earth Day. Core Surfing Shop is an official Rip Curl distributor in Spain, with the brand's official warranty on all its products.

USAGE AND CARE

• Rinse the suit with fresh water after each session, both inside and out.
• Hang the suit on a wide hanger, never on a thin hook, so as not to deform the shoulders.
• Dry it in the shade, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Do not fold it or store it damp for long periods.
• To put it on and take it off, use thin gloves or a plastic bag on your feet and hands to avoid damaging the neoprene with your nails.
