Chest Zip vs. Back Zip — Which One’s Right for You?
- Chest Zip: Offers a tighter, more watertight seal with less flushing. It’s the go-to for surfers who want maximum flexibility and warmth.
- Back Zip: Easier to get in and out of, making it a great choice for surfers who prioritize convenience and comfort when suiting up.
Both versions feature Rip Curl’s advanced neoprene, linings, and seam construction—you just choose the entry system that best fits your surf style.
