Rip Curl Dawn Patrol Fullsuit

The 4/3mm Dawn Patrol is designed for chilly water, specifically handling temperatures down to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. It provides a solid balance of warmth and flexibility for those cooler sessions.

Chest-zip systems require a bit more flexibility to enter than back-zip models, but they are significantly better at preventing water flushing. Once you get the hang of the technique, the trade-off in warmth and comfort is well worth the extra effort.

The E5 Flash Lining is designed to retain body heat and dry quickly between sessions. It adds a layer of warmth without adding unnecessary bulk, keeping you comfortable during longer sessions in the lineup.

This suit uses glued and blind-stitched (GB) seams reinforced with critical stress point taping. This construction method ensures the most vulnerable areas of the suit hold up against the constant stretching and movement required for surfing.

The plant-based foam performs similarly to traditional neoprene in terms of stretch and insulation, but with a lower environmental footprint. You get the same reliable performance and flexibility you expect from a Rip Curl suit, just with more sustainable materials.
