Rip curl flashbomb 6/4 sizing?

Postby emailjohn » Mon Sep 20, 2021 8:51 pm

Hey all

I'm ordering a rip curl flashbomb 6/4.
I am unsure about the size and cannot try them on before I buy, unfortunately.
I'm ~188cm and weigh 79-80kg. Rather broad-chested.

So.. I'm thinking of getting a LT, but could maybe also go for a MT or L?

Anyone who owns this wetsuit who can give some inputs?

Thanks a lot! :wink:

I am shorter but a bit beefier. 183 cm and 90 kg. For the avoidance of doubt, I have broad shoulders and well developed muscles.
And, XL flashbomb is it too small for me. I managed to get it on a (zipless) one but cannot took it off on my own. Bought it anyway and worn it a couple of times. And, it’s 5/3. As for front zip, I cannot get it on at all.

I would recommend e-bomb instead. I own 4 e-bomb XL wetsuits (2 in 3/2 and 1 in 5/3, and another one in 2/2).

Not Sure whether they make e-bomb in 6/3.

If not, consider XL or XLT. Or, at least, do zipless in LT.

I am not sure what you mean by broadchested. Have you looked in their size chart? Not sure whether it is good. Always tried mines. And, then opted for XL and still messed up with flashbomb.

Not sure whether I helped:)
