Rip Curl E-Bomb 2/2 Zip Free Wetsuit
The Rip Curl E-Bomb 2/2 Zip Free Wetsuit is named exactly for what it is, a 2/2 zip free suit built by a company that has spent decades making wetsuits, boardshorts and outerwear for surfers. Search interest around this exact suit spans people looking for the E-Bomb by name and people simply searching for a zip free wetsuit, which tells you the entry style is a real draw on its own.
What zip free means for entry and fit
A zip free design skips the traditional back or chest zipper entirely, relying instead on a stretch panel or flexible entry point to get the suit on and off. The tradeoff a shopper should understand with this style is a snugger, more glove like fit across the torso and shoulders once it is on, since there is no rigid zipper track interrupting the neoprene's stretch through the paddling motion.
Who this suit fits into their routine
This is a suit for a surfer who is already comfortable with a wetsuit and wants to remove the one part of a traditional suit, the zipper, that can restrict paddling and rotation. It suits a dawn patrol or after work session where getting in and out quickly matters less than how the suit performs once you are paddling out and duck diving.
Getting a zip free wetsuit on and caring for it
Zip free suits generally go on more slowly than a back zip suit since you are working the neoprene over your shoulders through a stretch panel rather than stepping into an open zipper track, so take your time and avoid yanking on any seam. After every session, rinse the suit in fresh water and let it dry fully out of direct sun before folding, since sun and heat break down neoprene flexibility over time. Storing it on a wide hanger rather than folded also helps it keep its shape between sessions.
