The Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 5/3 Chest Zip is a technical wetsuit designed for cold conditions with a focus on warmth, mobility and durability. The suit is 5 mm thick in the body and legs while the arms are 3 mm. The seams are glued and blind stitched, reinforced with E5 tape and extra taping at critical stress points for increased durability. The combination of E5 Flash Lining and E4 Thermo Lining provides effective thermal insulation and quick drying time between surf sessions.
The chest zip construction reduces water penetration and improves the fit, while the neoprene-free E5 material, plant-based natural rubber, water-based lamination and recycled inner lining make the suit a more environmentally conscious choice. An internal key pocket completes a well-thought-out and functional whole, perfect for regular surfing.
