How Should a Rip Curl Wetsuit Fit?

A Rip Curl wetsuit should fit close to the body without loose areas or excess material. It should feel snug when dry, but still allow full movement when paddling, surfing or swimming. A good fit helps minimise water entry and improves warmth and performance in the water.

How to Measure for a Rip Curl Wetsuit

  • Height: Measure from head to toe while standing straight.
  • Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest.
  • Waist: Measure around your natural waistline.
  • Weight: Use your current body weight alongside your measurements.

What If I’m Between Sizes?

If you are between sizes, choose the size that best matches your height and chest measurements. For surfing and colder water, a closer fit is usually better for warmth. For casual use or easier movement, you may prefer the slightly larger size.

Signs Your Wetsuit Is the Wrong Size

  • Too big: loose areas, water flushing through the suit, reduced insulation.
  • Too small: restricted movement, tightness across the chest or shoulders, discomfort.
  • Good fit: snug all over with no major gaps, allowing natural movement and a secure feel in the water.
