FLASHBOMB FUSION SUIT WITH DRY SEAM FUSION TECHNOLOGY
Stay warmer longer in our revolutionary seamless suit.Made from 100% Flash E7 lining, the FlashBomb Fusion adopts Fusion Dry Seam technology for the ultimate balance of flexibility, warmth and durability. Discover over 50 years of innovation fused into one suit, 96% of which is seamless. Rip Curl's Fusion Dry Seam technology solves the age-old problem of leaking seams in wetsuits, without the need for rigid tape. Because this welding technique requires no seams, it preserves the complete integrity of the neoprene to prevent water infiltration. This means you get a stretchier, warmer suit that eliminates cold water and retains your body heat, allowing you to surf longer. No seams, no leaks and therefore superior warmth. Another revolutionary innovation from the world leaders in wetsuit technology. [Product description on the Rip Curl website]
