Rip Curl Womens Ultimate G-Bomb 2mm GBS Back Zip Long Sleeve Spring Suit
- Thickness: 2mm - full coverage in 2mm, the midway mark of surfing neoprenes in Australia and the perfect mid-season thickness for most of us. In QLD you can definitely get away with 2mm in winter.
- Style: Spring Suit - springies are short leg & short arm wetsuits, no neoprene on the elbows and knees gives you full freedom of movement and puts less resistance on the shoulder. Great for core temp retention, not the best at cutting windchill.
- Rubber: E7 & E6 Neoprene - Rip Curls flagship options for stretch and warmth, E7 is used where you need unbridled stratch, E6 everywhere else. Brace yourself for somewhat overwhelming levels of stretch, you'll never go back.
- Seam: GBS Seam - Glued and Blindstitched seams are the stretchiest stitched seam thanks to the expanding nature of the stitch but better still the seams is sealed! A hooked needle is used to stitch the suit without creating any pin-holes through the entire panel that would leter water in, the seam is then bonded with an elastic glue to provide durability and further sealing.
- Zip: Back Zip - it's a zip and its on your back, but to elaborate (because that's my job) the backzip has spanned the entire history of wetsuits and is the easiest system to use in terms of entry/exit. The downside to back zips is that it inhibits expansion of the back panel because the zip itself doesn't stretch - back panel stretch is vital when standing up on a surfboard as there is a great deal of back stretch when tucking your knees under.
