The Rip Curl H-Bomb Keeps Surfers Warm With Adjustable Temperature
Adam Collins — January 20, 2009 — Lifestyle
The newly introduced wetsuit from Rip Curl, the H-Bomb, is any surfer's dream come true. Everybody knows how uncomfortable it is being cold. Really cold. None more so than the hardcore surfer braving the winter waters.
This new suit allows you to stay out longer in the waves without your feeling completely going. On the back of the suit are twin Li-ion cells which are used to generate heat and keep surfers warm on those chilly days at the beach.
The suit has two settings, low (120 - 130 degrees Fahrenheit) and high (140 - 150 degrees Fahrenheit), with layers to spread the heat throughout.
