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

Rip Curl F-Bomb Fusion Chest Zip 4/3 Wetsuit: winter warmth with the stretch of Rip Curl's top-of-the-range collection

The Rip Curl F-Bomb Fusion Chest Zip 4/3 is Rip Curl's women's design created for cold water, long autumn-winter sessions, and demanding transitional days. Featuring E7 neoprene, E7 Flash lining, and a construction that is virtually free of stitched seams, it combines enhanced warmth, flexibility, and quick-drying properties without the weight of an extreme winter suit.

WHY THIS WETSUIT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Fusion Dry Seam technology almost entirely eliminates traditional stitching (96% of the construction is free of needle holes in the neoprene), replacing it with a three-layer overlapping and heat-sealed system. In the 4/3 version, this system is key to retaining heat during long sessions: the suit provides a better seal against cold water entry and dries faster than a conventional wetsuit of the same thickness. The chest zip provides a secure, low-profile closure without compromising back mobility.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Thickness — 4/3 mm: 4 mm in the torso for maximum warmth in cold water and 3 mm in the arms and legs to maintain freedom of movement.
• E7 Neoprene — Rip Curl's most advanced compound, with up to 25% more stretch and lower weight than previous generations of E6 neoprene.
• E7 Flash Lining — interior lining that is ultra-quick drying (in under 30 minutes) and retains body heat between sessions.
• Fusion Dry Seam Technology — heat-sealed and overlapping seams, with almost no traditional stitching, for a superior seal against cold water entry.
• Chest Zip — lightweight, low-profile entry system that improves the seal and makes it easier to put on.
• Internal key pocket — discreet compartment to store your car key during your session.
• Composition — 80% neoprene, 20% polyamide, with water-based, solvent-free lamination.
• Recommended temperature range — approx. 12°C to 17°C, ideal for autumn, mild winter, and transitional seasons on the Galician coast.

EXPERT ADVICE

As this is a high-end suit with highly elastic neoprene, the fit should feel snug when dry: it is normal to need the full range of shoulder mobility to get in and out of the suit. If you are looking for extra protection for very long sessions or in water below 12°C, pair it with neoprene booties and gloves.

RIP CURL WARRANTY — THE SEARCH

Rip Curl was founded in 1969 in Torquay, Australia, 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 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 the supply 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 INSTRUCTIONS

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