Rip Curl Womens Dawn Patrol 4/3mm Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit

Rip Curl Womens Dawn Patrol 4/3mm Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit is a no-fuss, full-warmth surfing steamer that is as comfy and stretchy as it is warm (very). The combined layup of their top-shelf E5 Neoprene, chest zip entry system and an expanding Glued and Blind Stitched seam ensures high thermal retention and low water movement - if water can move in and out of your suit, by poor fit or zipper to name a few, then it will struggle to keep you warm.  

This wetty is best suited to a wearer who's priority is warmth, flexibility and stretch but don't want or need top-shelf. Sure, there are more expensive suits on the market but they're optimised for warmth and durability. At this point you've got to gauge what's more important to you?  Maximising comfort and performance or extending the life of the suit?  If your answer is life than you should look towards a tape seam alternative such as the Flash Bomb range.

To get the most out of your Ripcurl Surfing Wetsuit we recommend maintaining it with Wetsuit Wash and following the steps in our guide to wetsuit maintenance. 

Rip Curl Womens Dawn Patrol 4/3mm Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit:

• E5 Neoprene - stretchier, lighter and warmer than ever before - laid in high-strain zones, E4 is laid in the non-stretch panels (calves etc)
• Chest Zip - market leading enclosure for stretch and warmth - learn more
• GBS seams - the stretchiest stitch in the game, not as durable as taped but more freedom.  Ideal for comfort and competition.  Learn more on our blog
• Fast Drying Jerseys - keeps the exterior linings of your wetty drier and less filthy...  
• Critical Seam Reinforcement - certain parts of your wetsuit are subject to certain levels of stress, for eg- your under arms strain the rubber a lot more than the middle of your thigh, because of the nature of human movement.
• Thickness: 4/3mm
