Rip Curl H-Bomb Wetsuit Review from SurfDonkey (Ep11)

Industry Talk
1

Yes! We scored a Rip Curl H Bomb wetsuit to demo. For those that don’t know, this is Rip Curl’s battery operated wetsuit that features heat coils integrated into the back panel of the suit. The current water temp is 1C (33F) so we still have good testing waters. It’s the first one in Canada (that we know of) and probably one of the first third party reviews around. Have a look to see how it performs here http://surfdonkey.ca and the donkey notes.

And needless to say, Lance has mostly recovered from surgery. Mostly. I think I smell a cortisone shot.

Don’t forget to leave a comment at http://surfdonkey.ca.

Thanks for watching.

Get yer donk on!

i saw one of those for sale in a shop over here on the west coast. for 1200 bucks. a little pricey.for the same price you can get one of those surf dry suits.

Yeah, prrice tag is high for sure, for now. They just need some competition probably.

We’ve tried the drysuits here and (as Lance says) they can make more like sails and are very bouyant. Also if you cut a drysuit in winter water you’re screwed.

They’re no cheaper over here either BTW :P.

Thanks for watching!
