"Easily the best back zip suit under $300, this year's Dawn Patrol is basically a streamlined Flash Bomb (Rip Curl’s most high-end model) from a couple years ago. Using the same E5 neoprene and E5 tape as the Flash Bomb with a section of the Flash Lining (the orange stuff) in the core, this model has been built out with truly quality materials. If you’re partial to back zips, are on a budget, or just need a back zip, this suit smokes everything in its price range. Save some cash!"
The Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 5/3 Back 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.
