RIP CURL F-BOMB FUSION CHEST ZIP 4/3 | MEN'S SEAMLESS WETSUIT

Rip Curl F-Bomb Fusion Chest Zip 4/3 Wetsuit: seamless technology in its men's version

The Rip Curl F-Bomb Fusion Chest Zip 4/3 is Rip Curl's top-of-the-range model for men: a suit designed for those who refuse to make compromises in cold water. With E7 neoprene, E7 Flash lining, and a construction practically free of sewn seams, it offers the most advanced combination of warmth, flexibility, and quick-drying in the Rip Curl catalog.

WHY THIS WETSUIT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Fusion Dry Seam technology almost completely eliminates traditional stitching (96% of the construction is free of stitches that pierce the neoprene), replacing it with a three-layer overlapping and heat-sealed system. The result is a suit that is more elastic, warmer, and has far fewer cold water entry points than a suit with conventional seams. The chest zip provides a secure, low-profile closure without compromising freedom of movement in the back.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Thickness — 4/3 mm: 4 mm in the torso for maximum heat retention and 3 mm in the arms and legs for freedom of movement.
• E7 Neoprene — Rip Curl’s most advanced compound, with up to 25% more elasticity and less weight than previous generations of E6 neoprene.
• E7 Flash Lining — An ultra-fast-drying interior lining that retains body heat and reduces drying time between sessions.
• Fusion Dry Seam Technology — Heat-sealed, overlapping seams with almost no traditional stitching for superior sealing against water entry.
• Chest Zip — A lightweight, low-profile entry system that improves sealing and makes it easier to put on.
• Internal Reinforcement Tape — An additional layer of E7 tape on the wrists and ankles, the points most exposed to water.
• Internal Key Pocket — A discreet compartment to store your car key during your session.
• Composition — 80% neoprene, 20% polyamide, with water-based solvent-free lamination.
• Recommended temperature range — from 10°C to 17°C, ideal for autumn, winter, and spring on the Galician coast.

ADVICE FROM OUR EXPERTS

As this is a high-end suit with very elastic neoprene, the fit should feel snug when dry: it is normal to need the full range of mobility in your shoulders to get in and out of the suit. If you feel excessive resistance when putting it on, try a size up before ruling out the fit.

RIP CURL WARRANTY — THE SEARCH

Rip Curl was born in 1969 in Torquay, Australia, at the hands of Doug Warbrick and Brian Singer, two surfers who started by crafting handmade wetsuits to withstand the cold of Bells Beach. Since 1992, the brand has lived by "The Search" philosophy, the constant quest for the perfect wave that continues to define how they design technical gear. In 1995, they revolutionized the industry with Elasto neoprene, and in 2023, Rip Curl obtained B Corp certification, recognizing their commitment to sustainability and social responsibility throughout their production chain.

At Core Surfing, we are official Rip Curl distributors, meaning every suit you purchase here comes with the original factory warranty: three years on seams and twelve months on materials, neoprene, and zippers.

USE AND CARE

After each session, rinse your suit with fresh water, inside and out, to remove salt and sand residue. Hang it on a wide hanger in the shade in a well-ventilated area; avoid direct sunlight and heat sources, which degrade neoprene. Do not fold it or store it wet in a sports bag. As this is a heat-sealed seam construction, avoid contact with sharp objects and do not force the chest zipper when opening or closing it.
