How Should Rip Curl Wetsuit Accessories Fit?

Rip Curl wetsuit boots, gloves and hoods should fit snugly against your body to help reduce water entry and maintain warmth. They should feel close-fitting without restricting circulation or movement, allowing you to surf, swim or paddle comfortably.

How to Measure for Rip Curl Boots, Gloves & Hoods

  • Boots: Use your regular UK shoe size as a guide. A snug fit helps minimise water movement inside the boot.
  • Gloves: Measure around the widest part of your hand, excluding the thumb.
  • Hoods: Measure around your head just above your eyebrows and ears.

What If I’m Between Sizes?

If you are between sizes, a slightly tighter fit is usually better for performance and warmth. This helps reduce water entry and keeps the accessory secure during use. However, avoid choosing a size that feels restrictive or uncomfortable.

Signs Your Accessories Are the Wrong Size

  • Too big: loose fit, water entering easily, reduced warmth and control.
  • Too small: tight pressure, discomfort or restricted circulation.
  • Good fit: snug and secure, minimal movement and consistent warmth.

Rip Curl Wetsuit Accessories Size Guide FAQs

How tight should wetsuit boots be?

Wetsuit boots should fit snugly with minimal movement inside to help reduce water entry and improve warmth.

Should wetsuit gloves feel tight?

Yes, gloves should fit close to the skin to retain warmth, but should not restrict circulation or feel uncomfortable.

How should a wetsuit hood fit?

A wetsuit hood should fit snugly around your head and neck, with no large gaps that could allow water to enter.

Can I size up for comfort?

Choosing a larger size may feel more comfortable at first, but can reduce warmth and performance due to water movement inside the accessory.
