RIP CURL WMS E-BOMB ZIP FREE 5/3 | WOMEN'S ZIP-FREE WETSUIT

Rip Curl E-Bomb Zip Free 5/3 Wetsuit: maximum flexibility without a zipper for cold water

The Rip Curl E-Bomb Zip Free 5/3 is the brand's commitment to total freedom of movement: a zipperless wetsuit featuring high-stretch neoprene, designed for surfers who prioritize paddling and pop-ups above all else, without sacrificing warmth in cold water.

WHY THIS WETSUIT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

The Zip Free entry eliminates the weight and stiffness of a metal closure, reduces the seams needed on the torso, and offers freedom of movement in the shoulders and back that no zippered suit can match. Combined with E7 neoprene on the upper body and E6 on the rest, the E-Bomb fits the body like a second skin without losing the 5/3 thickness necessary to endure long sessions in cold water.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Thickness — 5/3 mm: 5 mm in the torso for maximum heat retention in cold water and 3 mm in the arms and legs for freedom of movement.
• E7 Neoprene — high-stretch compound in the upper body, with up to 25% more elasticity than E6 neoprene.
• E7 and E6 Thermal Lining — a combination of interior linings that retains body heat in areas of greatest exposure to cold.
• Zip Free Entry — neck entry system, without a metal closure, which maximizes flexibility and reduces water entry points.
• Reinforced tape in critical points — reinforced seams on shoulders and high-stress areas for greater durability.
• Sealed cuffs — finish on wrists and ankles that reduces cold water entry.
• External key pocket — practical and accessible compartment to keep your car key during the session.
• Composition — 80% neoprene, 20% polyamide.
• Recommended temperature range — from 8°C to 13°C, ideal for winter on the Galician coast.

ADVICE FROM OUR EXPERTS

Zipperless suits require a bit more practice to put on and take off than chest-zip ones: stretch the neck well before putting your head through and pull the neoprene up in sections, without sudden tugs. Once you get the hang of it, it’s the most comfortable system that exists in the water.

RIP CURL WARRANTY — THE SEARCH

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

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

USAGE AND CARE

After each session, rinse the suit with fresh water, inside and out, to remove salt and sand residue. Hang it on a wide hanger, in the shade and in a ventilated place; avoid direct sun and heat sources, which degrade the neoprene. Do not fold it or store it wet in your sports bag. As it is a zipperless suit, pay special attention to the neck when putting it on and taking it off so as not to force the entry seams.

SIZE GUIDE
