What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I like these when I want a little more coverage without committing to a full spring suit. The high waist stays put while paddling, the E5 neoprene feels super stretchy, and the drawcord lets me fine-tune the fit. They're comfortable, secure, and great for warm-water sessions." We pull on the G-Bomb 1. 5mm Boy Leg Wetsuit Short for sunny surf days when freedom of movement is key. Rip Curl designs these shorts to balance coverage, flexibility, and comfort, making them a go-to option for warm-water sessions and long hours in the lineup. The lightweight 1. 5mm E5 neoprene moves easily with every paddle and pop-up, while the high-waist boy leg cut delivers a secure, confidence-inspiring fit. E-stitched seams and edge binding add durability, and eco-conscious details-like recycled linings, recycled external jersey, plant-based natural rubber foam, and water-based lamination-round out a short that's built to perform with a lighter environmental footprint.
