RISE EARLY, SURF BETTER: THE WETSUIT THAT DOESN'T HOLD YOU BACK
The name says it all. The Rip Curl Dawn Patrol Pro Chest Zip 3/2 is designed for those who reach the lineup before anyone else, when the water is still cold and the waves are all yours. A men’s surf wetsuit with high-end technology at a price that makes perfect sense: pure E5 neoprene, GBS seams, natural rubber foam, and a chest zip. No compromises.
WHY THE DAWN PATROL PRO IS THE SURF WETSUIT YOU NEED
The E5 neoprene featured in this suit is no small detail: it is 30% more elastic, 20% lighter, and 10% warmer than its E4 predecessor. This translates to a more natural paddle, less fatigue during long sessions, and total freedom of movement from the very first minute.
The chest zip eliminates the water entry point found in back zips, improves body fit, and allows you to put on and take off the suit without assistance. The chest zip system provides greater comfort and less movement restriction than a back zip.
The GBS seams (Glued & Blind Stitched) are glued and blind-stitched throughout the entire suit, and high-stress points are reinforced with E5 tape to ensure long-term water tightness and durability. A suit built to last through seasons, not just sessions.

EXPERT TIP
The Dawn Patrol Pro 3/2 is the suit we recommend for surfing in the Atlantic during spring and autumn, and for the Mediterranean in winter. The pure E5 neoprene without added thermal linings makes it an agile and responsive suit, ideal for surfers who prioritize mobility over extra warmth. If you surf in the Cantabrian Sea in winter or are looking for a suit for very cold water, we recommend considering the 4/3. For everything else, the Pro 3/2 is hard to beat in its price range.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR DAWN PATROL PRO WETSUIT
- Rinse with cold fresh water after each session, inside out
- Do not twist or wring — hang by the waist on a wide hanger to avoid damaging the shoulders
- Dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
- Do not use harsh detergents or bleach
- Store in a cool, dry place, without sharp creases
SIZE GUIDE — RIP CURL DAWN PATROL PRO 3/2 WETSUIT
Rip Curl uses its own sizing system for wetsuits. Standard sizing is based on height and weight, but chest circumference and torso length are determining factors for the fit. A wetsuit should be snug without restricting breathing or paddling. If you are unsure between two sizes, consult our team before purchasing.
