Description
The Rip Curl Flashbomb 4/3 Chest Zip Wetsuit – Muted Green is designed for riders who demand premium thermal performance, flexibility and comfort during colder sessions.
Its 4/3mm fullsuit construction provides substantial insulation while Rip Curl’s E6 Flash Lining delivers warmth, stretch and exceptionally fast drying performance. Combined with E6 Flash Lining Tape, sealed seam construction and strategically positioned mesh skin panels, the Flashbomb is built to keep you warmer and more comfortable during extended sessions on the water.
E6 Flash Lining
The standout feature of this Flashbomb generation is Rip Curl’s E6 Flash Lining.
The premium internal lining is engineered to provide excellent warmth and stretch while drying extremely quickly between sessions. This makes a significant difference when riding repeatedly over several days or heading back onto the water after a short break.
Your specific Muted Green model explicitly uses E6 Flash Lining, so I would retain this specification rather than replacing it with technologies from newer Flashbomb generations.
E6 Flash Lining Tape
The seams are reinforced internally with E6 Flash Lining Tape.
This combines additional seam sealing with a soft and flexible internal finish, helping improve both comfort and water resistance without unnecessarily restricting movement.
4/3mm Fullsuit Construction
The 4/3mm thickness makes the Flashbomb an excellent choice for colder conditions.
Additional neoprene thickness around the core helps retain body heat, while the more flexible construction through high-movement areas maintains the mobility required for wakeboarding, wakesurfing and surfing.
For riders looking to extend their season well beyond the warm summer months, a premium 4/3mm suit offers an excellent combination of insulation and mobility.
Chest Zip Entry
The Chest Zip system provides a secure, performance-focused entry with a smaller opening than a traditional back-zip wetsuit.
This helps reduce water flushing while eliminating the large rear zipper that can restrict upper-body flexibility. The result is a close, comfortable fit with excellent freedom through the shoulders and back.
Sealed Seam Construction
The Flashbomb uses sealed seam construction to help minimise water penetration.
Combined with the E6 Flash Lining Tape, this contributes to the high level of thermal performance expected from Rip Curl’s premium Flashbomb range.
Mesh Skin Panels
Strategically positioned mesh skin panels are designed to absorb solar warmth while helping reduce wind chill when exposed above the water.
This is particularly useful for wakeboarding and wakesurfing, where riders regularly alternate between being in the water and exposed to wind while waiting for the next start.
Premium Cold-Water Performance
The Flashbomb sits above the Omega and Dawn Patrol ranges in Rip Curl’s wetsuit hierarchy, with a stronger focus on thermal performance, flexibility and premium internal construction.
The combination of 4/3mm insulation, E6 Flash Lining and E6 Flash Lining Tape makes this an excellent choice for riders who spend a lot of time on the water and want significantly more than the essentials from their wetsuit.
Ideal for:
- Wakeboarding
- Wakesurfing
- Surfing
- Cooler lake and ocean conditions
- Spring and autumn riding
- Extended-season sessions
- Frequent riders
- Riders prioritising warmth and fast drying performance
