Enjoy the comfort and style of Rip Curl while you ride the waves

Leaders in wetsuit technology, Rip Curl wetsuits are the best in surfing. Designed using the highest quality neoprene and most innovative rubber technology available, their wetsuits are designed to keep you in the water for longer.

There are many technological advances of the brand, past and present, including:

• Highly stretch thin E5 neoprene used as hand and knee pads in areas of maximum tensile stress,
• E6 Flash Lining for more stretch, a lighter lower profile and quick-drying.
• Special elastic glueing of seams with extremely flexible E5 tape to provide an additional barrier against cold water and ensure seam integrity.
• Waterproof, temperature-resistant neoprene Stress Point Tape and stretchy polyamide inserts for more security.
• Additional wind and waterproof insert on the chest, as well as a zip free wetsuit design.

Rip Curl wetsuits are not only durable and practical, but they are also very stylish, so you can look great and feel confident. Whether it’s the world’s top athletes or regional rising stars, you will see a Rip Curl sticker on wetsuits of all the best surfers around the world.

At the Southern Man Rip Curl collection you can find wetsuits for all weather conditions, from shorter ones to long-sleeve wetsuits with a hood. So whether you want to practise water sports in the winter or ride the waves in the summer, we have the perfect surf suit for you.

How to choose Rip Curl wetsuits

Your favourite water sport will be even more enjoyable if you have the right Rip Curl gear, whether you are surfing or wakeboarding. If you want to catch the waves and not worry about cold water, choose professional equipment with the right thickness.

There are different thicknesses of wetsuits depending on the conditions you will be surfing in. Considering all the options, it can be hard to decide what thickness of the wetsuit is right for you, but ultimately, it depends on the temperature of the water you intend to surf in and your tolerance for cold. Generally, the colder the water, the thicker the wetsuit you need: 2-3mm in summer and up to 6mm in winter.

Rip Curl swimsuits, clothing and accessories with unique surf style

The Rip Curl range includes not only wetsuits but also swimsuits with SPF50 UV protection, as well as shorts, jackets, t-shirts and boots that allow you to swim safely around coral reefs so you can get the most of your beach time. With a focus on style, function, and versatility, Rip Curl offers quality clothing for men, women, and kids that reflect the surfing lifestyle. From specialised boardshorts and weatherproof jackets to t-shirts and button-downs – Rip Curl has it all.

There is nothing boring about Rip Curl clothing. It is made for people who like to conquer the waves and feel the power of the ocean, for innovators, dreamers and Searchers.
