RIP CURL Women’s Searchers 1mm Long Sleeve Front Zip Springsuit

The Rip Curl Women’s Searchers 1mm Long Sleeve Front Zip Springsuit is designed for women who want lightweight neoprene protection without giving up flexibility or style.

With 100% 1mm E4 neoprene, long sleeves and a high-cut bikini-style lower section, the Searchers provides additional upper-body coverage while keeping the legs free and unrestricted. Rip Curl combines the lightweight construction with E-Stitch high-stretch seams and Surf Grip leg openings for a secure and comfortable fit in the water.

100% 1mm E4 Neoprene

The Searchers is constructed entirely from 1mm E4 neoprene.

Its thin construction provides a lightweight layer of protection while maintaining excellent flexibility, making it particularly suitable for warmer conditions where a thicker springsuit or full wetsuit would provide unnecessary insulation.

Long Sleeve Coverage

Long sleeves provide additional coverage across the arms and upper body while the lightweight 1mm construction keeps the suit comfortable and flexible.

For wakeboarding and wakesurfing, the additional arm coverage is especially useful on windy days when the air can feel considerably cooler than the water.

Front Zip Entry

A practical Front Zip provides convenient entry and gives the Searchers its distinctive surf-inspired look.

The front-positioned zipper also keeps the back free from a conventional rear zip, maintaining a clean and streamlined construction.

E-Stitch High-Stretch Seams

Rip Curl uses E-Stitch high-stretch seams throughout this model.

This seam construction is designed to complement the flexibility of the E4 neoprene, allowing the suit to stretch naturally with the body for excellent comfort and freedom of movement in the water.

Bikini-Cut Leg Design

Instead of conventional short legs, the Searchers features a feminine bikini-cut lower section.

This creates maximum freedom through the legs while maintaining neoprene protection around the torso and full coverage through the arms.

Raw-Edge Leg Openings with Surf Grip

The raw-edge leg openings incorporate Surf Grip, helping keep the bikini-cut lower section securely positioned during active movement in the water.

This is an important detail on a high-cut springsuit, particularly during wakeboarding, wakesurfing or surfing where the suit is exposed to continuous movement and water pressure.

Lightweight Warm-Water Performance

At only 1mm thick, the Searchers is designed primarily for warm-water conditions.

It provides more coverage and protection than conventional swimwear while remaining considerably lighter and less insulating than a 2mm springsuit or full-length wetsuit.

Style Meets Performance

The Searchers combines Rip Curl’s technical wetsuit construction with a distinctly feminine silhouette.

The result is a springsuit that works equally well for riders looking for functional warm-water protection and those who want a more stylish alternative to a traditional shorty.
