The Rip Curl Boys Dawn Patrol 5/4mm GB Hooded Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit will keep you nice and warm when surfing winters further down south! When surfing most of the heat you'll lose will be through your head, which is one of the only exposed areas in a typical steamer, so this steamer has a hood to ensure warmth although it does not compromise on comfort. This great wetsuit is designed with features for both performance and warmth along with durability and great value. This wetsuit has many of the high-end technologies that you will find in Rip Curl's high-performing suits including E5 neoprene and E5 stress point tape. Rip Curl Boy's Dawn Patrol Hood 5/4mm GB Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit Features: E5 Neoprene: Rip Curl's premium high stretch, lightweight neoprene provides 30% more stretch and is 20% lighter and 10% warmer than E4. Glue and Blind-Stitched seams: The stretchiest stitch in the game, not as durable as taped but offers more freedom. Ideal for comfort and competition. E5 Tape: Added to high-stress points for increased strength and durability.

The warmer your chest zone the less work your body will have to do to retain heat. Chest Zip: The ideal zipper for surfing that preserves the flexibility of the neoprene panels.

Integrated Hood: When surfing in colder water, most of the heat you'll lose is through your head (one of the only exposed areas when in a typical steamer). So the Dawn Patrol has an integrated hood so this heat is not lost.
