Pros and Cons of the Rip Curl E Bomb Wetsuit

The first thing you will notice about the Rip Curl E Bomb Wetsuit is that it is by far the most flexible wetsuit Rip Curl Wetsuits has produced to date.  It is made from 100% neoprene which by itself gives you a lot of room to maneuver, but what really makes it stand apart is the E3 Plus Action Panel.  Not only is the E3 Plus Action Panel twice as easy to move in as the previous E3 technology, but it also gives you a lot more stretch – up to 30% more!  Rip Curl Wetsuits have done a great job of knowing exactly where that extra stretch from the E3 Plus would come in handy, and they have placed it strategically in the areas that need it the most, so when you are out there doing maneuvers you can get the most torque from your body.

When you first try on the Rip Curl E Bomb Wetsuit, don’t be surprised if you end up asking yourself how this could possibly keep you warm in cold waters.  This wetsuit is so light it is ridiculous.  It is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into this wet suit and it has been made for serious surfers and scuba divers who are planning on competing and diving in cold waters.  It has been completely designed to give you the maximum ability to move by doing away with silicon seals completely and just being straight neoprene.

Extreme Sports Final Thoughts

If you are looking for an introductory wetsuit, this may not be the right one for you, but if you are a serious surfer or diver who doesn’t want to be stopped by cold water, then Rip Curl Wetsuits has the perfect solution for you with the Rip Curl E Bomb Wetsuit.  Currently priced at between $200 and $300 depending on the size this isn’t the cheapest wetsuit available but with many experts recommending it, you may find that is more than worth the price.
