What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "This suit is a winter warrior. I wear it when the water's down in the 40s and I'm still comfortable paddling out. The hood keeps heat locked in, and the E5 flash lining feels great against the skin. The chest zip seals out the cold, and the whole build feels premium without the premium price."When the water dips below 50degF and most surfers call it quits, we zip into the Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 5/4 Chest-Zip Hooded Wetsuit and get after it. With a full-coverage design and built-in hood, this cold-water suit keeps us warm, agile, and ready for whatever winter swell comes our way. It's packed with Rip Curl's top-tier materials-E5 flash lining in the chest and back for fast-drying warmth, E5 neoprene throughout for flexibility, and E4 thermo lining for added insulation in key motion zones. The chest zip provides a secure, flush-resistant fit, while sealed seams keep icy water out. Made with Yulex(R) natural rubber, a recycled external jersey, and water-based lamination, this wetsuit blends performance, comfort, and sustainability so we can charge harder with a lighter impact.
