The Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 5/4 Hooded Chest Zip Wetsuit offers performance and warmth features along with durability and great value. It has many of the high-end features that you would find in Rip Curl's Ultimate wetsuits.
This year the Rip Curl Dawn Patrol got an upgrade to an all-over E5 neoprene application (previously the arms were only E5), so now you can experience stretchy comfort everywhere, and upgraded the E5 Flash lining to include both the front and back panels. For durability, the seams were triple glued and blindstitched and fully taped with stretchy E5 tape, a major bonus for keeping water out while still remaining highly comfortable. For extra warmth, a back mesh skin panel design absorbs solar heat and reduces wind chill. The Rip Curl Dawn Patrol is your next high-performance, durable wetsuit at a great price and our customers agree because it's one of our top selling wetsuits.

Love this wetsuit for its warmth during March in NY! 2 reasons why it’s not 5 stars yet, still getting used to the full pull away zipper and got some water flushed down the hood during my surf session

Good, but could be better
Lasted 2 seasons, all seams started to fail and material got brittle and began to stretch and tear. The good news is that now it's so worn out I can also use it as a 4/3 on warmer days.

Toasty, but tight
I've only been able to get in the water once since getting the suit, and I was WARM. We're talking 42 degree water too. The air temp was nice for Feb (mid-50s) and I actually took off the hood because I was getting too hot. I will say that it is a bit tight and needs to be broken in more. Super stiff trying it on when I first got it in the mail. On the water (at first) it was so stiff that it messed up my first couple rides. It was rigid and almost felt like it was making me stand up straight, throwing me off balance. After a few it broke in enough and was good-to-go from then on. I am happy with it. Zero water entry or flooding. | 5' 11" 175 lbs Size Large

Needed a warm suit reserved for cold days.
Completely satisfied with timely delivery of suit as advertised in perfect condition with a bonus cake of wax. Price was impossible to beat, suit is warm comfortable and leak free, time will tell if it's durable. Could have spent three times as much elsewhere for similar features.

Total Value. Great Service.
Had great help in figuring out cheapest shipping, arrived a day early for a big week on the coast, was sent wax, starbursts and stickers in the box and all of a sudden its my birthday. Suit is great - no off gassing which can be problematic in lower priced suits. Quality and fit are great - little snug out of water around the chest and gut but that could be dinner talking. Zipper is indeed a bit unusual but it makes sense with the designed entry because it does not put strain on the zipper and cause it to split. Would not hesitate to buy from CL again. Super impressed.
