Built to Move, Built to Last
The Rip Curl E-Bomb 2mm Zip Free Short Sleeve Springsuit is engineered for warm-water surfers who demand top-tier performance from minimal rubber. Constructed entirely from 100% E6 neoprene, it is lighter and stretchier than traditional neoprene suits, so paddle power translates directly into forward motion with zero restriction.
Zip-Free Entry System
The zip-free entry design keeps water out where a back zip or chest zip would let it flood. There is no zipper hardware to dig into your back on a wipeout and no flush point for cold flushing during duck-dives. Getting in and out is fast and the seal stays tight through every session.
Seam Construction and Comfort Details
Seams are sealed and reinforced with stress-point taping at the highest-wear zones, extending the life of the suit and preventing leaks along the stitching. The glide skin collar sits against the neck without chafing during long sessions, and mesh arm seals at the wrists reduce flushing while keeping a clean, low-profile finish.
Practical Features for Every Session
An external key pocket lets you leave the car locked and focused on the lineup. The short sleeve cut maximizes arm mobility for paddling and popping up, making the E-Bomb 2mm an ideal choice for warm water conditions where a full suit would overheat.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a springsuit wetsuit?
- A springsuit (also called a spring wetsuit) is a short-armed, short-legged wetsuit designed for warm-water conditions. It provides core warmth and UV protection while keeping the arms and legs free for maximum mobility. The E-Bomb 2mm springsuit is a short sleeve version, covering the torso and upper thigh.
- How does the zip-free entry system work on the Rip Curl E-Bomb?
- The zip-free entry uses a flexible, overlapping chest panel that you pull apart to step in, then close snugly against the body. Without a zipper, there is no hardware to dig into your back and no seam gap for water to flush through, which keeps the suit warmer and more comfortable than traditional zip designs.
- What is E6 neoprene and why does it matter?
- E6 neoprene is Rip Curl's high-stretch neoprene compound. It is lighter than standard neoprene, absorbs less water, and flexes more freely in all directions. For a springsuit worn during high-output activities like surfing, that combination means less fatigue and a more natural feel in the water.
- Is the Rip Curl E-Bomb 2mm suitable for warm water surfing?
- Yes. A 2mm springsuit is designed for warm-water conditions, typically water temperatures from the mid-60s Fahrenheit and above. It provides enough core insulation to extend a session in mild afternoon cooling while staying light enough not to overheat in tropical or subtropical conditions.
- How do I care for and rinse my E-Bomb springsuit?
- Rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh water after every session, inside and out, to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Turn it inside out and hang it in the shade to dry flat or on a wide hanger, away from direct sunlight which degrades neoprene over time. Avoid machine washing, machine drying, or folding the suit at sharp angles for extended storage.
- What is the difference between the Rip Curl E-Bomb spring suit and a full wetsuit?
- The E-Bomb 2mm springsuit has short sleeves and short legs, leaving the lower arms and lower legs exposed. A full wetsuit covers the entire body. The springsuit trades overall warmth coverage for reduced material, less weight, and greater limb freedom, making it the better choice for warm conditions where a full suit would cause overheating.
- Where can I buy the Rip Curl E-Bomb Zip Free 2mm Springsuit?
- The Rip Curl E-Bomb Zip Free 2mm SS Springsuit is available in store and online at Island Water Sports, your South Florida surf shop.
