The Rip Curl Anti Series is a premium range and as such costs more than the more standard product, but once you wear it you will realise what that extra cost has bought you. The best premium men's action sports range on the market which is Anti Wind, Anti Rain and Anti Cold.
ANTI RAIN
The Anti Series range of products start with the basic principle that to stay warm you first need to stay dry, so lots of technical features are included to ensure they are Anti Rain.
Water resistant and breathable membranes ranging from 5k/5k to 30k/40k are included in the construction of jackets and DWR water repellent teatments are added to the fleeces and accessories.
Stopping the rain from coming through the fabric is just the first step because water can always find a way. That's why tech is added to other parts of the garments to ensure water doesn't creep in. Seams are sealed with rubberised tape and pockets are welded using special tight closing zips to prevent water ingress.
Staying dry and being Anti Rain is the first stage of keeping warm when out on the adventure.
ANTI WIND
After you have stayed dry, the second most important part of staying warm is making sure the heat you generate isn't stolen by the wind, that's why Rip Curl Anti Series is Anti Wind.
To prevent heat loss the range of jackets and fleeces include features like high necks and drawstring adjustable hoods and waists to pull the opening closed for maximum wind protection and to trap the warmth inside.
Pockets all feature tight close zips so they can be closed to stop the wind from getting in and adjustable or elastic gather cuffs stop drafts up the sleeves. Fabrics are laminated and bonded to provide the ultimate protection from wind chill on your search.
ANTI COLD
Now you are dry and not giving away your body heat to the wind, now you just need to store it. That's where the third feature of the Rip Curl Anti Series range comes into play, Anti Cold.
Rip Curl use a variety of different next generation materials to create padding and linings to store that critical heat when you are out and about in all weathers. The technology used is suited to the individual garment and ranges from responsibly sourced RDS certified duck-down to THERMORE ECODOWN recycled polyester. Micro fleece and sherpa linings are abundant throughout the range to ensure you stay super cosy and ultra comfortable.
RIP CURL ANTI SERIES RANGE

The outer layer is a critical part of staying warm and dry so Rip Curl offer a good selection of Anti Series jackets, ranging from fully technical snow jackets with matching snow pants, to coach jackets and puffers.
