If you are looking for a longer lasting wetsuit I would go for O'neill. I have had a heap of ripcurl flashbombs and the zips are poo. I take care of my suits and I have had multiple zips replaced over the years. Every brand other than Ripcurl use way better zips. Hence why I have to either go zip free or a different brand.
Hey man. Thx for this review. I was thinking of getting this suit myself in a 4/3. I'm a beginner/intermediate surfer in southern Italy where minimum water temperatures in winter are around 14-15 C. Do you think this suit would keep me warm for long 2-3h sessions? Could I wear it up to spring when temps are 19-20 C? Thanks in advance for your help.
Is this suit (4/3) warm (with hoddie and booties) in 50-55º winter water temperature? It holds? or just need to go for a psyco tech?
What temperature should a 4/5+ would be good at ? And also what do you think of the heat seeker from rip curl
I am trying to decide between this one with out of hood or the rip curl down patrol 5.3. What do you think?

Yeah it would be more than warm enough! may be a little warm for 19-20C but you could just let a little water in to cool you down!
@@JoeSmith-qu1dl thanks. I got it in the end and really happy. Cheers!
which suits are warmer in this price range and which is harder wearing ?
Hyper freak isn’t as warm but it’s the most flex able fullsuit
