Lightweight warmth and easy front-zip entry for surf sessions that don’t need a full steamer.
The Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 1.5mm Front Zip Jacket adds a light layer of insulation while leaving your lower body free. Made from 80% neoprene and 20% polyamide, it features mesh skin panels and a recycled internal lining for a practical mix of coverage and comfort. The front zip makes changing straightforward, while E-stitched seams support durability through regular sessions. An elastic boardshort loop connects the jacket to compatible shorts to help keep it in place. Plant-based foam from natural rubber and solvent-free, water-based lamination round out the construction, making this an easy option to pair with boardies when the water calls for extra warmth.
