Rip Curl Mens Dawn Patrol 2mm SS CZ GBS Steamer Wetsuit Features:
html- Rip Curl Mens Dawn Patrol 2mm Chest Zip Short Sleeve Steamer is a high-performance surfing wetsuit with sealed seams, thermal lining, and chest zip closure. Dawn Patrol wetsuits have been a serious player in the wetsuit world since their inception over 10 years ago but the modern iteration is more focused on value than its predecessors and we think it's a win-win!
- The thermoflex smooth-skin back mesh panel furthers the notion of good value with smooth-skin providing the warmest external lining available. The warmth of this panel results from its hydrophobicity (repels water), which basically means that it's always dry. This is hugely effective when you're sitting on your board between sets because the wind's ability to wick warmth from your vitals/core is mostly mitigated. Wet surfaces are 25x more affected by wind chill than dry surfaces.
- The difference between this suit and its $500 brethren is mostly in durability and warmth, however, most performance/competition surfers tend to opt for suits like this one because the GBS seam offers more elongation and requires less "breaking-in" than taped/glued seams.
- To get the most out of your Dawn Patrol steamer we recommend washing it with Aussie made Wetsuit Wash between uses to remove sweat, salt, bacteria and chlorine and to follow steps outlaid in our Wetsuit Maintenance Blog.

Rip Curl Mens Dawn Patrol 2mm Chest Zip Short Sleeve Steamer Features:
- E5 Neoprene: Stretchier, lighter and warmer than ever before.
- E5 Flash Lining: A poly-fleece lining to increase warmth around your vitals and to speed up the drying process as poly-fleece is 'hydrophobic'
- E4 Thermoflex: The E4 Thermoflex Back Mesh "Skin Panels" enhance solar absorption and reduce wind chill, keeping you warm
- Chest Zip: The ideal zipper for surfing that preserves the flexibility of the neoprene panels
- Bat Wing Zip Gasket: An extra layer of neoprene is added between your back and the zip which denies water entry through the zip
- GBS seams: The stretchiest stitch in the game, not as durable as taped but offers more freedom. Ideal for comfort and competition
- Critical Seam Reinforcement: Certain parts of your wetsuit are subject to certain levels of stress. For example, your underarms strain the rubber a lot more than the middle of your thigh, because of the nature of movement
- Reinforced knee pads: A complex HDPE weave that greatly reduces knee wear
- Internal Key Pocket
