Pick your thickness first, then your range. The Omega and Dawn Patrol are the everyday options, the E-Bomb adds high-stretch neoprene, and the Flashbomb is Rip Curl's fastest-drying wetsuit. The women's wetsuit guide compares each range, and our wetsuit care guide covers rinsing and drying to help you care for your suit.

Shop by range

Each range balances warmth, stretch, and price a little differently:

  1. Omega: an easy-entry back zip wetsuit for mild conditions and casual sessions, like the Omega 3/2 Back Zip Wetsuit.
  2. Dawn Patrol: everyday cold-water suits in 3/2, 4/3, and 5/4, in back zip for easy on and off or chest zip for a better seal. The 5/4 Chest Zip Fullsuit adds E4 thermo panels for the coldest mornings.
  3. E-Bomb: performance-focused suits with high-stretch neoprene, including the E-Bomb 4/3 Chest Zip, E-Bomb 3/2 Chest Zip, and the E-Bomb 4/3 GB Back Zip Fullsuit.
  4. Flashbomb and Flashbomb Fusion: Rip Curl's fastest-drying wetsuits. The Flashbomb 3/2, 4/3, and 5/4 use E7 and E6 flash linings and sealed cuffs, and the Fusion styles add Fusion Lining technology to reduce bulk and dry faster.
  5. G-Bomb 2mm Long Jane: a sleeveless full-leg suit with full shoulder freedom for warmer sessions and paddling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the E-Bomb and Flashbomb women's wetsuits?

The E-Bomb uses high-stretch neoprene for a lightweight, flexible feel in cold water. The Flashbomb adds E7 and E6 flash linings and mesh skin panels, and Rip Curl calls it the world's fastest-drying wetsuit. If you surf twice a day or travel, the Flashbomb's quick drying is worth the higher price; if you want stretch at a lower cost, go E-Bomb.

Should I get a 3/2 or a 4/3 women's wetsuit?

Rip Curl's thickness guide puts a 3/2 at roughly 58 to 68°F and a 4/3 at 52 to 62°F. In the overlap, choose a 4/3 if you run cold, stay out longer than 90 minutes, or surf a windy break. The wetsuit thickness guide walks through each scenario, and booties, gloves and hoods extend your range below 55°F.

Is a chest zip or back zip wetsuit better?

A chest zip helps improve the seal and reduce flushing, so it's the pick for colder water. Look at the Dawn Patrol 4/3 Chest Zip and E-Bomb 4/3 Chest Zip. A back zip makes getting on and off straightforward, so it suits casual sessions and quick changes in the parking lot. The Omega and Dawn Patrol both come in back zip.
