Rip Curl’s G-Bomb Long Jane Wetsuit is a high-stretch wetty most ideal at the warmer end of Australia's water temperature range and a great diving wetty in warm conditions. There’s a range of benefits to this style of wetsuit, the most prominent being that your arms are totally unrestricted by neoprene sleeves. Despite the stretch in this wetsuit being fantastic thanks to the E5 neoprene tech, you’ve still got to use some force to make the material stretch as you move. So, in surfing where you’re continuously moving your arms, it makes sense to eliminate this factor where you can. In spring and autumn months in states like Queensland, or for summer months further north, this style of wetsuit is perfect for keeping you comfortable in the water. There's also the added benefit of preventing board rash, adding some coverage over the knees for comfort and some added sun protection (where you're covered of course). The seams of the long jane is E-Stitched, to pair with the flexible E5 neoprene. Think E for elastic - the stitching is effectively coiled as it binds the neoprene panels together to give lateral stretch where other seams can't.
