Flash Bomb - from Rip Curl

Well there has been a lot of talk about the Rip Curl Flash Bomb Wetsuit in the industry recently and the word is slowly getting out that there is a new “wetsuit on the block”!

This is one of those suits that pushes the boundaries just that little bit further and who know could well be the start of a new trend in wetsuit technology.

The Flash Bomb is not due out until the Autumn / Winter of 2011 /2012 but the kind chaps at Rip Curl gave Sean one off the first run to try out.

Rip Curl Quick Dry Wetsuit

The most amazing feature of the Flash Bomb is that it is touch dry in 15 minutes – so no more getting in to a cold and wet suit after your early session. Just turn the suit inside out and because the new “furry lining” technology it will dry in no time at all.

The Flashbomb also features a fully waterproof zip and new stitchless technology which means zero water penetration allowing you to stay dry and warmer for longer. The new Rip Curl wetsuit uses the latest E3+ tape to reinforce all the seams on the inside which is more stretchy than the traditional liquid tape and it gives the same durability to seams of the suits, so no more pinholes.
