Rip Curl G-Bomb Springsuit Built for the Water
The Rip Curl G-Bomb 1.5mm Long Sleeve Full Zip Full Coverage Springsuit is the go-to one-piece for women who want more coverage without the weight of a full suit. At 1.5mm neoprene throughout, it delivers just enough thermal protection to extend your sessions into cooler mornings or breezy afternoons while keeping mobility front and center.
Full Front-Zip Entry
The front-zip closure runs the full length of the chest panel, making entry and exit fast and independent. There is no fumbling with a back cord or asking for help before a surf. The zipper sits flat against the body when closed, eliminating pressure points and keeping the neckline clean against the skin.
Long Sleeve, Full Coverage Design
Long sleeves protect your arms from sun exposure and provide a thin insulating layer against wind chill on the paddle out. The full coverage cut at the torso means more neoprene between you and the water compared to a short-arm springsuit, making this the better choice for cooler conditions or for surfers who run cold. The leg cut remains high for unrestricted kicking and paddling range.
1.5mm Neoprene Construction
The G-Bomb line uses flexible neoprene panels selected for stretch and durability. At 1.5mm, the suit is thin enough to wear as a standalone piece in mild surf conditions and light enough to layer under a wetsuit vest when temperatures drop further. The neoprene retains its shape wash after wash and resists the compression fatigue that degrades thicker suits faster.
Rip Curl Fit and Finish
Rip Curl has built wetsuits for serious surfers since the early days of the sport. The G-Bomb springsuit reflects that commitment: contoured seam placement follows the body rather than fighting it, the chest badge sits flat, and the overall silhouette is trim without being restrictive. This is a suit designed to disappear once you are on the water.
When to Wear the G-Bomb Springsuit
This suit works best in water temperatures roughly in the mid-60s to mid-70s Fahrenheit range. It is the right call for early morning sessions before the air heats up, spring and fall surf in South Florida, or travel to destinations where a full suit is overkill but boardshorts alone leave you chilled. The long sleeves also add meaningful sun protection across the arms on long sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Rip Curl G-Bomb springsuit?
- The G-Bomb is Rip Curl's women's springsuit line. This version uses 1.5mm neoprene with long sleeves, a full front-zip closure, and a full-coverage cut designed to balance warmth, mobility, and sun protection for mild surf conditions.
- Is the G-Bomb a good wetsuit for beginners?
- Yes. The front-zip entry is easy to use without assistance, the 1.5mm neoprene is forgiving and lightweight, and the full coverage design protects beginners from sun and minor abrasions during lessons or prone paddling.
- What water temperatures is the 1.5mm G-Bomb springsuit suited for?
- A 1.5mm springsuit is generally best from the mid-60s to mid-70s Fahrenheit (roughly 18 to 24 degrees Celsius). It works well on cooler mornings in warm surf destinations and in South Florida's spring and fall seasons.
- How does a front-zip springsuit differ from a back-zip?
- A front-zip design lets you put the suit on and take it off without a pull cord or help from another person. The chest zipper typically creates a flatter seal at the neck and reduces water flushing at the back, which is a benefit in mild surf.
- How do I care for and rinse my G-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 to dry in the shade away from direct sunlight, which degrades neoprene over time. Never machine-wash or tumble-dry a wetsuit.
- Can I wear the G-Bomb springsuit for activities other than surfing?
- Yes. The G-Bomb springsuit works for paddleboarding, bodyboarding, snorkeling, and other water sports where light thermal protection and sun coverage are useful. The front-zip makes it practical for quick on-and-off during multi-activity sessions.
- Where can I buy the Rip Curl G-Bomb 1.5mm Long Sleeve Springsuit?
- The G-Bomb springsuit is available in store and online at Island Water Sports in South Florida. Call 954-427-4929 for product questions or sizing guidance.
