Rip Curl Dawn Patrol Chest Zip 4/3 GB Neopreno

Hi I am Alexis 175 tall 75ish kg, i would consider myself as a medium-sized lightweight person. I recently bought the Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 4/3 . I am a big fan of rip curl wetsuits since forever !

I've tested this wetsuit in the Netherlands . The 4/3 was the perfect thickness and I was not cold at all even after spending a couple hours in the water. I felt that it was quite easy to get in & movement is flawless cause of the front zip . I noticed that the suit stretch as nicely as some other ones on the same thickness I've tried in the past . The zip is nice option for sliping in fast but also keep any leakage in a minimum way possible. The flash lining makes this one really toasty on the cold Dutch sea!


Great value for money wetsuit nice flexibility and warmth combination cause of the flash lining and the sealed seams . The fit of rip curl is working great on my body shape and the quality of the construction is awesome . Size wise the charts are completely accurate so you only need to measure yourself carefully and the recommended size will fit like a glove !

Excellent sizing from Rip Curl: I am measuring 1m74 for 65kg and the MS is a perfect fit!
What's great about Rip Curl Wetsuits is that they keep similar sizing across the years... so this fresh new one fits the same as my old Rip Curl wetsuit... sizing can really be a challenge for some brands, not for Rip Curl!
Construction is excellent too, very stretchy despite de 4mm3 thickness... careful with fin cuts: I had a bad wipeout and after the second session I did cut the leg across 4 cm. I could fix it with special wetsuit glue, and now back to (almost) brand new!
I choose the express delivery option from Blue Tomato: Timing was 100% respected and got it just in time for my trip! Thanks for keeping your committed lead times!
