Rip Curl Junior Dawn Patrol 4/3GB Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit - Black/Blue
The Rip Curl Junior Dawn Patrol 4/3GB Chest Zip Steamer is built for young surfers who need proper warmth, comfort and flexibility through colder surf sessions. Designed as a junior winter steamer, it gives groms the insulation and full-body coverage they need when a 3/2mm suit or spring suit is no longer warm enough.
The 4/3mm thickness provides added warmth through the body while still allowing movement through the arms and shoulders. The chest zip entry helps create a secure fit through the upper body and can help reduce flushing, making it a strong option for longer cool-water and winter sessions.
The GB construction indicates glued and blind stitched seams, which helps reduce water entry compared with basic flatlock stitching. The Black/Blue colourway keeps the look classic while adding a clean pop of colour for young surfers.

FAQ Section
What water temperature is the Rip Curl Junior Dawn Patrol 4/3GB Chest Zip Steamer best for?
This wetsuit is best suited to cold-water surf around 10–15°C, depending on wind, session length and individual warmth preference.
What does 4/3mm mean in a wetsuit?
4/3mm means the wetsuit uses thicker 4mm neoprene through key warmth areas and 3mm material where flexibility is more important, such as the arms and shoulders.
What does chest zip mean?
A chest zip wetsuit opens through the upper chest rather than using a traditional back zip. This can help create a more secure fit through the upper body and reduce flushing.
What does GB or GBS mean?
GB or GBS generally refers to glued and blind stitched seam construction, which helps reduce water entry compared with basic flatlock stitching.
Is this warmer than a 3/2mm kids wetsuit?
Yes. A 4/3mm steamer provides more insulation than a 3/2mm wetsuit, making it better suited to colder water and winter sessions.
