FUSION wetsuits keep you warmer for longer because no water seeps through the seams. Rip Curl's FBOMB FUSION wetsuit features Dry Seam technology, the most technologically advanced water-resistant construction ever created. Packed with over 50 years of innovation, this wetsuit offers riders the perfect balance of flexibility, warmth, durability and design.
This wetsuit was designed to prevent water from entering through the seams. Panel joints are thinly sliced diagonally and overlapped with super stretch bond. The bonding width is 2 to 3 cm, which is much wider than the joint of a normal wetsuit , so Water seepage from the panel joints has been eliminated.
This wetsuit uses a unique bonding technology and super stretch bond without any seams. It is designed with the most technologically advanced paneled construction ever created by Rip Curl.
E7 FLASH LINING is used throughout the body , which provides greater warmth and flexibility than traditional brushed lining. This provides a comfortable fit while preventing water from entering, even under harsh conditions with low water temperatures.
The wetsuit has a zipperless entry system and uses bonding and tape on the shoulders to avoid restricting movement while paddling. It also features external silicone tape to prevent water from seeping through the wrists and sleeves, providing both comfort and practicality.
This wetsuit is made with an ergonomic design for a perfect fit.

It was really good!
There's no rubber part, so it's easy to move around and feels light on your shoulders. There was no discomfort in the adhesive side of the fabric.
FUSION has no seams, so I felt there was no problem with its durability as a wetsuit. Since the fabrics are pressed together, it gives an impression of a high sense of security when putting on and taking off.
You can also wear FUSION when you are surfing first thing in the morning in the early winter season and feel a little chilly in a 3\2 mm full suit. (It feels like it's between jarful and 5\3 mm rubber semi-dry.)
I thought this wetsuit was excellent in terms of flexibility, durability, and heat retention.
