Description
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“I’ve surfed the Dawn Patrol 3/2 through cool morning sessions and breezy afternoons, and it hits the sweet spot between warmth and flexibility. The E5 neoprene moves easily when paddling, and the chest zip seals well without feeling restrictive. It’s a dependable daily-driver suit that holds up session after session.”
We rely on the Dawn Patrol 3/2 Chest-Zip Full Wetsuit when conditions demand warmth without sacrificing freedom of movement. Built by Rip Curl with performance and sustainability in mind, this suit feels supple in the shoulders for easy paddling while keeping the core insulated during longer sessions in cooler water. It’s the kind of wetsuit we grab when we want to focus on waves, not what we’re wearing.
Premium E5 neoprene delivers impressive stretch and comfort, while critical stress point taping reinforces high-wear areas for durability. Inside, E5 Flash and E4 Thermo linings trap heat and dry quickly between sessions. Add in plant-based foam, recycled internal lining, and water-based lamination, and the Dawn Patrol proves you don’t have to compromise performance to surf more responsibly.
