Seams That Don’t Leak.

Rip Curl’s Fusion Dry Seam Technology solves the age-old issue of wetsuits leaking at the seams, without resorting to using stiff liquid tape. Because this bonding technique doesn’t require stitching, it also holds the full integrity of the neoprene to avoid water getting in. 

That means you have a stretchier, warmer suit that shuts out the cold water and insulates your body heat, allowing you to surf for longer. 96% stitch-free, leak-free seams, delivering superior warmth. Another breakthrough innovation by the world leaders in wetsuit technology.
