A zip free springsuit for warmer water sessions
The Rip Curl E-Bomb Zip Free 2mm LS Springsuit is a long sleeve, 2mm springsuit built without a zipper, part of the E-Bomb line of wetsuits from Rip Curl. Surfers search for this suit by name looking for an e bomb wetsuit and a spring suit option, and this style covers both with a zipperless entry design.
What sets a zip free design apart
A zip free, or zipperless, entry differs from a traditional back or chest zip suit by using a stretch panel opening instead of a zipper track. This style of entry is common in performance oriented springsuits because removing the zipper removes a rigid seam, letting the neoprene move with the paddling motion instead of against it.

Who this springsuit is for
A 2mm long sleeve springsuit like this suits surfers dealing with cooler mornings, wind chill, or shoulder season water temperatures who still want full arm coverage without the bulk of a full 3/2 or 4/3 suit. It is a common choice for Florida surfers who need a step up from a rash guard but not a full winter suit.
How to get in, wear, and care for it
Zip free suits typically go on by stepping in through the neck or shoulder opening and working the stretch panel over the body, so expect a snugger entry than a suit with a zipper. Rinse the suit in fresh water after every session to clear salt and sand from the neoprene, and hang it to dry away from direct sun rather than folding it while damp, since both heat and prolonged creasing shorten the life of a suit's flexibility.
