That is exactly when the Flashbomb Polypro Hooded Vest comes on: a 0.5mm neoprene core layer with an attached hood, built by Rip Curl to add warmth under a wetsuit – or over bare skin in summer – without costing you paddle range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlashbomb is Rip Curl's Flash-lining wetsuit family, and the Polypro hooded vest carries that idea into layering. The difference sits inside: the E6 Flash Lining – neoprene knitted with polypro – lies against your skin while the thin neoprene shell blocks windchill. Zip free, so there is nothing to flush, nothing to fuss with, just a vest that extends the sessions you would otherwise cut short.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeoprene composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80% neoprene, 20% polyamide shell – light, flexible and quick through the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eE6 Flash Lining:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rip Curl's latest Flash lining, a neoprene and polypro interior that holds warmth and manages moisture next to the skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.5mm thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e a thin shell that adds core and head warmth without restricting your paddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZip-free entry:\u003c\/strong\u003e no front zip means fewer flush points and more flex through the torso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlat-locked, unsealed seams:\u003c\/strong\u003e comfortable against the skin and, as Rip Curl specifies, designed for warmer conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttached hood:\u003c\/strong\u003e extra cover for head and ears when the wind picks up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e rinse with fresh water after use, dry in shade, store flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; Size Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a 0.5mm warm-water layering piece, not a stand-alone cold-water suit.

This vest is specified for warm water of 20°C+ and works worn alone in summer or as a core layer under a full suit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit guidance: a wetsuit vest should sit snug everywhere with no air pockets and no gaps at the neck or armholes – water trapped inside loses heat fast. When layered under a steamer, expect a slightly tighter fit than normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor current shipping rates and delivery times visit: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/santoloco.com\/pages\/shipping-costs\"\u003ehttps:\/\/santoloco.com\/pages\/shipping-costs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree in-store pickup available – select at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear this instead of a wetsuit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn genuinely warm water (20°C+) yes – it covers your core and head but leaves the arms and legs free. In cooler water it is a layering piece under a full wetsuit, not a replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should the vest fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSnug everywhere, like the rest of a wetsuit. There should be no gaps at the neck or armholes. If you are between two sizes, the smaller size usually seals better once the neoprene has softened in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the hood work under my wetsuit hood?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe attached hood is designed to be worn as-is.
