RIP CURL Women’s Flashbomb 3/2 Chest Zip Wetsuit

The Rip Curl Women’s Flashbomb 3/2 Chest Zip Wetsuit brings Rip Curl’s premium Flashbomb technology into a versatile 3/2mm full-length construction.

Designed for riders who want more warmth and protection without the additional thickness of a 4/3mm suit, it combines flexible neoprene with Rip Curl’s fast-drying Flash Lining technology and a streamlined chest zip entry.

3/2mm Full Wetsuit Construction

The 3/2mm configuration provides an excellent balance between thermal protection and freedom of movement.

It offers substantially more coverage than a springsuit while remaining lighter and more flexible than a 4/3mm wetsuit, making it particularly versatile for changing conditions throughout the riding season.

E5 Flash Lining

The defining feature of this Flashbomb generation is its E5 Flash Lining.

Rip Curl developed Flash Lining to combine warmth with excellent stretch and exceptionally fast drying.

This makes the suit especially practical for riders who are on the water frequently and want their wetsuit to dry efficiently between sessions.

E5 Flash Lining Tape

The seams are internally reinforced using E5 Flash Lining Tape.

This combines additional seam sealing with a soft and flexible internal finish, helping maintain the performance-oriented feel of the suit rather than introducing stiff reinforcement.

Chest Zip Entry

The Chest Zip entry provides a secure, low-profile closure while avoiding the long zipper found on traditional back-zip wetsuits.

Keeping the back free from a large zipper improves freedom of movement through the shoulders and upper body – particularly useful for wakeboarding, wakesurfing and surfing.

Mesh Skin Panels

The suit incorporates mesh skin panels as part of its thermal construction. Your original product information specifically lists mesh skin alongside the E5 Flash Lining technologies.

The smooth outer surface also helps reduce the cooling effect of wind compared with conventional exposed jersey panels.

Premium Flashbomb Performance

Flashbomb sits among Rip Curl’s premium performance wetsuit ranges, with a strong focus on combining warmth with flexibility and fast drying.

The result is a suit suited to riders who spend significant time on the water and want a noticeable step up from a basic full wetsuit.

Ideal for Wakeboarding & Wakesurfing

A 3/2mm Flashbomb is particularly useful for lake riding because it offers full-body protection while remaining highly flexible.

For wakeboarding and wakesurfing, the chest zip construction and flexible materials allow natural movement through the upper body, while the Flash Lining provides additional thermal comfort for cooler sessions.
