Every once in a while an innovative, boundary-pushing new wetsuit comes along which is light years ahead of everything already on the market, and just blows the competition out of the water. For 2011, it looks like it could be the Rip Curl Flash Bomb, a revolutionary new design that aims to take wetsuits to a whole new level.
The main selling point of the Flash Bomb is its ability to dry out quickly. In this respect it offers something truly extraordinary - it takes only 15 minutes to go from soaking wet to touch dry.
Flash Dry is an exclusive new weave technology with two engineered layers. The first layer is designed so the water passes through it directly into the second layer. The second layer then funnels the water rapidly out of the suit once it is hung up. Dry Fast - Surf More!!!... And of course, as well as the rapid dry time the FlashDry lining is also one of the warmest, most comfortable linings available in the world.
The Flash Bomb also has a range of other innovations and advantages not found elsewhere. It features a fully waterproof zip and new stichless technology which eliminates water penetration, meaning that you will stay warm and will be consequently be able to stay out in the water for longer.
Additionally, Rip Curl have utilised the latest E3+ tape to reinforce all the seams on the inside of the Flash Bomb. It has the same durability as traditional liquid tape, but it is much more stretchy.
