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

Find your ideal fit using Rip Curl's women's wetsuit size measurements. All measurements below are in US inches. Compare your height, chest, waist, leg length, and body length before choosing a size.

Size Note: T indicates Tall, designed for different height and leg-length proportions within the same chest and waist size. Review Rip Curl's current women's wetsuit size guide to confirm measurements before purchasing.

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

What Sets It Apart

The Women's Dawn Patrol 3/2mm Back Zip combines practical everyday comfort with Rip Curl's E5 neoprene and thermal lining technologies. Its convenient back-zip entry makes gearing up simple, while reinforced seams and flexible construction support regular surf sessions. The result is a balanced combination of warmth, mobility, and durability.

Water Temperature Note: A 3/2mm wetsuit is generally suitable for mild to cool water, but actual comfort depends on water temperature, wind, session length, activity level, and individual cold tolerance. Colder conditions may require a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal accessories.

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