Rip Curl Men's Dawn Patrol 3/2mm Wetsuit Size Chart

Find your ideal fit with Rip Curl's men's wetsuit size chart. All measurements are in inches. Compare your height, chest, and waist measurements before selecting a size.

Size Note: S indicates Short and T indicates Tall when used as a size suffix. These sizes accommodate different body proportions while maintaining the appropriate chest and waist measurements. The 2XS size is not included because corresponding measurements were unavailable.

Fit Note: Your wetsuit should fit snugly against the body without restricting breathing, paddling, or movement. Excess space can allow water to circulate and reduce warmth. If your measurements fall between sizes, consult Rip Curl's sizing recommendations.

What Sets It Apart

Water Temperature Note: A 3/2mm wetsuit is generally suited to mild to cool water, but actual comfort depends on water temperature, wind, session length, activity level, and individual cold tolerance. Additional accessories or a thicker suit may be needed in colder conditions.

Care Note: Rinse with fresh water after use, dry in the shade, and avoid excessive heat or prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve neoprene and seam performance.
