Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 6/4 Chest-Zip Hooded — Affordable 6/4 cold-water steamer

The Dawn Patrol 6/4 CZ Hood blends practical features with proven thermal tech to deliver strong cold-water performance at a great price point. The suit uses Flash lining technology together with thermal linings and critical seam taping to reduce flushing and speed up warmth build-up. A chest-zip entry and built-in hood add extra insulation for the head and neck. Natural rubber-based foam, recycled internal lining details and waterbased (solvent-free) lamination underline Rip Curl’s focus on performance and responsible construction. An internal key pocket offers everyday convenience.
