What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"After long sessions in shoulder-season water, this suit has become my go-to. The e5 neoprene feels noticeably more flexible when I'm paddling out, and the chest-zip makes flushing minimal without feeling restrictive. The flash lining dries quickly between sessions, which I love when I'm surfing back-to-back days. It's warm, easy to move in, and durable enough for consistent use."We reach for the Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 4/3 Chest-Zip Full Wetsuit when the water cools and the sets start rolling in heavier. Rip Curl's trusted construction keeps us warm through long paddles, late drops, and those deep-breath duck dives that define shoulder-season surfing. With a blend of comfort and performance, it gives us confidence to stay out longer and chase that next clean line. The Dawn Patrol's e5 neoprene brings impressive stretch for dynamic movement, while the e5 flash lining and e4 thermo lining work together to retain warmth and shed moisture quickly. Sealed seams with e5 tape boost durability and reduce water entry, and the plant-based natural rubber foam delivers dependable insulation with a lower impact. An internal key pocket keeps the essentials secure, rounding out a suit made for reliable everyday surfing.
