Product Details
Rip Curl Men's Dawn Patrol 4/3mm GB Back Zip Steamer Wetsuit is a high-performance surfing wetsuit with sealed seams, thermal lining and a back zip enclosure. Dawn Patrol wetsuits have been a serious player in the wetsuit world since their inception over 10 years ago but the modern iteration is more focused on value than its predecessors and we think it's a win-win!
The Thermoflex Back mesh skin panels further the notion of good value warmth as smooth skin is the warmest external lining available. The panels allow for maximum solar absorption and reduce wind chill.
The difference between this suit and its $500 brethren is mostly in durability and warmth but most performance/competition surfers tend to opt for suits like this one because the GBS seam offers more elongation and requires less "breaking-in" than taped/glued seams.
To get the most out of your wetsuit we recommend washing it with Wetsuit Wash & reading our maintenance guide.
