Rip Curl Stomp Mens Summer Wetsuit 2010

The guys at the Wetsuit Centre have been working hard to get the latest Mens Summer Wetsuits photographed, video reviewed and up on to the website in time for the new season. And what a season it looks set to be !!! All of the major wetsuit brands are bringing out new wetsuits and you won’t be surprised to hear that the technology is getting even better.

First out of the blocks is the new Rip Curl Stomp 3/2 Mens Summer Wetsuit 2010 – we reviewed the Rip Curl Stomp 3/2 Mens Summer Wetsuit back in 2009 and even then the suit was punching well above its weight – being compared with wetsuit almost twice the price.

Rip Curl Stomp 2010

For 2010, Rip Curl have updated the suit with some minor changes. The 3/2 summer wetsuit has 3mm on the core area of the suit and 2mm on the arms where you don’t need as much warmth but need the flexibility.

The Rip Curl Stomp is all about value, it is an entry level suit that is at the cheaper end of the market but that doesn’t mean there is a compromise on quality and performance.

You certainly get a lot of wetsuit for your money – particularly if you are shopping on a budget, which why this wettie is so popular.

On the front and back of the suit you get a smoothskin panel – which minimises windchill and water penetration. All of the stitching is flat-locked so there are no needle holes going right through the neoprene – again minimising water penetration and giving a really comfortable fit.

For a wetsuit of this price you don’t get a lot of smoothskin – but the number of neoprene panels are kept to a minimum which means you get an extremely flexible suit.

The knees are fully reinforced so that minimises the wear and tear, particularly for first-time surfers.

The neoprene is not the stretchiest of Rip Curl’s material so it is never going to be as comfortable as some of their more expensive suits – but this is still a wetsuit packed with performance.

Rip Curl Stomp Features:-
