Rip Curl Mens E Bomb 1.5mm GBS Long Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket
- Thickness: 1.5mm - used throughout the Jacket. 1.5mm is flexy and very effective at moderate insulation and cutting wind chill, but not enough for a winter wetsuit throughout most of Australia.
- Style: Jackets - or wetty tops, are the natural born enemy to shoulder seasons and whinchill, giving you some heat retention without having to commit to a wetsuit, but bear in mind water can enter much easier than a jacket so if core temps are your concern go a spring or more.
- 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: Zipperless - no zip is the best zip because doing so removes the only no-stretch element of a wetsuit and zips can let in water. Zipperless wetsuits are entered via an overlapping shoulder panel and can be a challenge to get in, but if you can get in, you're never going to want to get out (because its comfy, not because you're stuck).
- E6 Tape - like sticky tape for the inside of the seam, but made of fancy neoprene to improve durability and create a barrier against cold-water entry.
- Hydro-loc Collar - one of the dryer necks in the back-zip wetsuit realm. Given that there's a zip running through the neck panel its impossible to keep it dry but the hydro loc is your best line of defence against our mortal enemy: cold water.
- External Key Pocket - tuck your keys or cash into a secure pouch on the outside of the suit.
- Pull cord Waist
