I hang my wetsuit booties after I rinse them but they will still be wet inside. This can be even after a week! How do I get my wetsuit booties to dry quicker so they don’t start to smell and are more?
Answer:
To get your wetsuit booties dry faster than they are here are a few tips:
Stick them on a post or something so they are upside down. You want to make sure there is still space for air to get in though.
Make sure they are unzipped.
Make sure they are in a warm, dry place. If you leave them in a garage or somewhere like that, they won’t dry fast.
If it is warm outside, always dry them outside. Just make sure to not leave them in direct sunlight.
Likewise, don’t put them by a heater or anything like that. The rubber can harden and crack.
I remember when my uncle told my cousin, “You’re too big to sleep in bed with your mom and me… it’s time you got a big bed of your own.” He took it pretty hard, especially considering he was 17.
But what does this disturbing insight into my family have to do with you, wetsuits and saving money? Hold on Chief… we’re getting there.
Well, just like my cousin, Wetsuit Wearhouse has gotten too big for their old digs and is movin’ on up to a new location.
Not only will this fancy new facility make shipping even quicker, but it’s one heck of a reason to have a sale.
Besides sand stuck in your nether regions, there is nothing that sucks more than having to pay for shipping.
Yeah, UPS and Fed Ex got to make money too, but it takes the fun out of getting a killer deal online. But the nice folks at Wetsuit Wearhouse have got you all sorted out when it comes to your scuba diving wetsuit and shipping.
Well sometimes the difference between last year’s model and this one is nothing but the change of some color schemes and a number here and there.
I’m no crazy couponer, but when I can save a buck or two and get a solid wetsuit in the process, then consider me in like Flynn!
Our friends at Wetsuit Wearhouse are cool like that too and have a grip of last year’s gear on sale right now! They have the biggest brands, the most popular suits and all the rest. Quantities and sizes are limited, so shake a tail feather and get on it pronto!
Review: If you need maximum protection from water all the way down to the 35° mark, but still want flexibility, durability and a suit that will dry in less time than it takes to make a box of macaroni and cheese, then the Rip Curl Flash Bomb 6/5/4 Hooded Chest Zip fullsuit is the way to go.
What We Think
If you’re looking for a 6/5/4 hooded fullsuit, you’re after warmth and the Flash Bomb delivers on that like Fed Ex!
Why is this suit so warm? Let’s break it down:
Flash Lining: Rip Curl developed this new weave technology for the inside of their suits to be extremely warm and dry super fast. In under 30 minutes your suit will be dry to the touch.
No Stitches: The Flash Bomb uses E3+ Tape plus Aquaban to seal the inside and outside of each seam so there is no stitches or needles used. That means no pin whole leaks, less water and more warmth.
Wind Resistant Chest Panel: Keep the cold air and water out of your suit and from around your zippers with their insulated and wind proof chest panel.
A lot of other suits make you sacrifice flexibility for warmth. Not so with the Flash Bomb. The entire suit is made from 100% superstretch E3 Elastomax neoprene and has four way stretch panels. There are no seams on the shoulders or in the underarms to slow you down either.
Warm, flexible and quick drying. It’s all you could ask for.

Similar to the Rip Curl Flash Bomb 5/4/3mm Chest Zip Hooded Fullsuit
If you think that you have to sacrifice warmth for flexibility in a 4/3mm wetsuit, then listen closely…
That’s the sound of the Rip Curl Flash Bomb 4/3mm Chest Zip fullsuit proving you wrong. You get it all with this suit and that’s why it’s rockin’ 5 stars.
We were giant fans of Rip Curl’s F Bomb. But like the McRib, girls wearing overalls with half shirts and 4 Locos energy drink/booze in can; all great things must come to an end.
Rip Curl stopped making the F Bomb (you can still find some around if you’re really big or really small), but from the ashes of that awesome suit rose the Flash Bomb.
Warning: You may want to shield your eyes from it’s glory the first time you’re in it’s presence…
Here’s why we dig it:
People a lot smarter than you or I made this fullsuit with a new weaving technology that combines two E3 neoprene layers together. The first layer lets water through to the second layer, allowing your body to heat it up and insulate you quicker. Then when you hang it up, the second layer ditches the water as quick as possible for insane drying time.
Speaking of drying time, with Rip Curl’s exclusive Flash Lining, your suit will be dry to the touch in about 30 minutes. Yeah, no more putting on wet and cold suits!
If you’re rocking a 4/3 fullsuit, you’re after some serious warmth and that is what the Flash Bomb delivers. In conjunction with the new quick drying design, you also get Rip Curl’ s stitchless technology that uses double taped and glued seams to keep even more water out. The wind and water resistant chest panel will help you lock in even more of that precious body heat.
And you don’t have to worry about any trade off with flexibility for all these innovations. The entire suit is made from superstretch E3 Elastomax neoprene and has four way stretch panels. There are no seams on the shoulders or in the underarms to slow you down either.
Sounds like you’re running out of reasons to pick one of these up.
