Dawn Patrol 4/3 Back-Zip Full Wetsuit - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve been using the 4/3 Dawn Patrol for those colder mornings when the water hovers in the low 50s. It’s warm without feeling bulky, and the E5 neoprene gives me plenty of flex to paddle and pop up. The back zip makes it super easy to get into, even with numb hands, and I love that it’s built with Yulex and recycled materials—it performs and feels good to wear."

Cold surf calls for serious gear, and the Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 4/3 Back-Zip Full Wetsuit keeps us warm, mobile, and stoked through it all. This suit blends performance tech with sustainable construction, so we stay comfortable while reducing our impact on the lineup. It’s our daily driver when water temps drop, with a balance of insulation and freedom that lets us keep chasing sets without sacrificing movement or warmth.

The Dawn Patrol combines E5 flash lining neoprene for fast-drying core warmth, E5 neoprene for upper-body flex, and E4 thermo lining for extra insulation. Made from Yulex® natural rubber and finished with a recycled jersey and water-based lamination, it checks every eco box without cutting performance. The back-zip entry adds simplicity to the pre-session routine, while sealed seams keep cold water out so we can stay focused on the ride.
