A 1.5mm long sleeve jacket for early sessions
The Rip Curl Steph Gilmore Dawn Patrol Long Sleeve 1.5mm Wetsuit Jacket is built for exactly what its name suggests, layering warmth for the cooler water and early starts that come with a dawn patrol session.
What it is
This is a women's long sleeve wetsuit jacket at 1.5mm thickness, part of Rip Curl's surf line named for professional surfer Steph Gilmore. A wetsuit jacket like this is designed to be worn on its own in mild water or layered over a swimsuit or bikini for extra coverage and warmth without the full commitment of a steamer.
Who it is for
This jacket suits surfers, paddlers, and anyone spending time in the water during South Florida's cooler mornings or milder months, when the air or water has enough bite that a bare swimsuit is not quite enough but a full wetsuit is more than needed. The long sleeve, 1.5mm build gives extra coverage for the arms and torso while staying light enough to move freely in.
How to wear and care for it
Wetsuit jackets are typically worn snug against the skin, either alone in warmer water or layered over swimwear for extra warmth. As with any neoprene piece, rinsing it in fresh water after every use and hanging it to dry away from direct sun helps the material stay flexible and last through more seasons of use.
Brand background
Rip Curl has spent decades building wetsuits and surf gear for men, women, and kids, staying close to the sport through dawn patrol sessions and events around the world, and is regarded as one of the leading surfing companies.
