Lightweight warmth and flexible coverage without stepping into a full wetsuit.
The Rip Curl Womens Dawn Patrol 1.5mm 8" Wetsuit Shorts add a light layer of insulation for sessions when swimwear alone isn’t quite enough. Made from 80% rubber and 20% polyamide, their 1.5mm construction keeps the feel flexible without the bulk of a thicker suit. Flatlocked seams create a low-profile finish for comfortable wear, while the shorts design leaves your upper body free to pair with a wetsuit jacket or your preferred surf top. They’re a straightforward option for adding warmth and coverage while keeping your water kit adaptable.
