Anyone use a Ripcurl Stomp vest (rashie)

Looking at one as a thermal rashie........ at the right price too..... but the zipper goes down from mid-back level to hips level, so the zipper will sit just above my bum crack - with a waist harness pushing on it.


Anyone else using one and is that a problem? Or does the neoprene, albeit thin, cushion and you don't feel it?

Why not just get a thermal rashie?
I just got one (polypro), it's luverly.

stay away from a back zip, i had a west suit one and really uncomfortable with a waist harness.

It kinda is a thermal vest - 1.1mm neoprene. Just thick enough it probably needs a zip as it is thicker than a Radiator or one of the 0.5mm other brands.
The zip only runs from probably the hips up about 20cm.
Trouble is the damn zipper toggle handle thingo is at the bottom when it is done up

Buuut it is $45 posted ...... tempting

have read it now !

Sounds like the shazzizzle - I'm up for one. That Surfstitch mob have them at 40% off which makes cost $36 (and free post) now that is 'ken awesome - but nothing bigger then large size bugger

Thanks Anita

I will be buying a new spring suit in well, about spring , and it will be a West as their warranty is second to none. Nice to know I can get a West polypropylene rashie too so I will just buy both together

Looks like a superhero outfit!

Mark, just be done with it and get yourself an FO Neo Top.
I wear mine all summer. As a matter of fact I'm still wearing it now in May for SUP surfing

Won't be buying the Quiksilver one. West will get my business forever more, due to their warranty being exceptional.
... was just tempted by the Ripcurl neoprene vest being cheap.

And yes anita, greenie does look like a superhero in his skintight stuff
