Rip Curl, a market leader in surfing wetsuits for over 30 years, is set to release the first power-heated wetsuit in mid 2007, the H-Bomb. This incredibly innovative and technologically sound wetsuit has a two coated fiber element heat source positioned on the upper back. These elements conduct electricity, which heats the body’s core, and thus warms the blood. The suit is powered by 2 small lithium batteries, which are no bigger than a cell phone or lap top battery, in the lower back of the suit. The suit, secretly tested for eight days in the freezing waters of the Arctic Circle, passed every test with flying colors. Testers reported that the cold was not even a factor, and were excited about the possibilities this opened up for new exploration of surfing sites. With various models to pick from, you’ll find just the right flexibility and warmth factor needed for your adventure. Get in line to catch a wave with this “Best Of” wetsuit as soon as it’s released!

From independent research, we selected the Rip Curl H-Bomb as a 3LUXE "Best Of". To see our other Wetsuit selections visit our Wetsuit Overview.
