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 selecting a size.

Size Note: T indicates Tall, designed for different height and leg-length proportions within the same chest and waist size. The linked product has size 14 selected. 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 Chest Zip GB combines Rip Curl's E5 neoprene and thermal lining technologies with a streamlined entry system and reinforced seam construction. Its chest-zip design helps limit flushing, while flexible panels and interior insulation support comfortable movement during regular surf sessions.

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. 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.
