Rip Curl H-Bomb Wetsuit, Warm Relief for Frigid Waters


Rip Curl has finally brought their H-Bomb wetsuit concept to market. The suit features a non-metallic carbon-fiber heating element in the back and high-stretch titanium lining to reflect heat back from the elements into your body. A three-hour charge time will give you 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours of heating, depending on the level of heating that you use.

The housings for the electronics in the wetsuit are rated to 1 bar (10 meters), but in the event that they were damaged, there would be no safety risk for the wearer. Rip Curl also took the additional step to ensure that the wetsuit did not inadvertently attract sharks, for which they enlisted the assistance of the Natal Sharks Board.

Price: Between $1,000 to $1,100 depending on the size. [Rip Curl via New Launches, Oh Gizmo]
