Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 3/2mm Chest Zip Fullsuit
The Rip Curl Dawn Patrol is built for the surfer who wants high performance and durability without paying a premium price, delivering great value alongside real cold-water capability. This 3/2mm chest zip steamer is designed to keep you warm through a full season of cooler water surf.
Construction and Materials
- E5 Neoprene with premium high stretch and lightweight properties
- E4 Thermoflex back mesh skin panels for maximum solar absorption while reducing wind chill
- E5 Flash Lining front and back panels with water wicking technology
- 3/4 E5 taped stress points for durability and strength
- Chest-zip entry system
- Glued and blind stitched seams
- Thickness: 3/2mm
The back mesh skin panels are engineered to pull in solar warmth while cutting wind chill once you are out of the water, and the taped stress points target the seams that see the most flex during paddling and popping up.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
A 3/2mm chest zip suit like the Dawn Patrol is built for cooler water sessions where you need more coverage and warmth than a spring suit but do not need the thickest winter neoprene. It suits South Florida surfers heading into cooler water months, dawn patrol sessions, and anyone who wants one dependable suit for the bulk of the cold-water calendar.
Getting the Most From the Suit
Rinse the suit in fresh water after every session to clear salt and sand from the neoprene and taped seams, and hang it to dry out of direct sun. A chest-zip entry keeps the back panel sealed for warmth, so take care pulling it on and off to protect the taped stress points over time. This product carries a California Proposition 65 warning related to chloroprene in the neoprene; details are available at p65warnings.ca.gov.
