The Rip Curl Omega 5/4 Back Zip Winter Wetsuit in Black delivers excellent warmth and performance at one of the best price points in winter wetsuits. Built using a combination of Rip Curl’s E5 neoprene in the arms and E3 neoprene through the body, it offers impressive flexibility and comfort while maintaining the insulation needed for cold water sessions.
The suit uses sealed GBS (glued and blindstitched) seams which prevent water entry while keeping the wetsuit flexible and strong. Critical stress points are taped to increase durability, helping the suit stand up to regular use through the winter months.
A Hydro Loc collar helps minimise flushing by sealing comfortably around the neck, while mesh skin panels on the chest and back absorb solar heat and reduce wind chill when you’re sitting between waves.
The back zip entry makes getting in and out simple and reliable, making the Omega a great choice for surfers who want solid winter warmth without spending premium money.
