Rip Curl Kids Dawn Patrol 4/3 Back Zip Steamer Wetsuit - Neon Green

Rip Curl Kids Dawn Patrol 4/3 Back Zip Steamer Wetsuit - Neon Green

The Rip Curl Kids Dawn Patrol 4/3 Back Zip Steamer is built for young surfers who need proper warmth, coverage and comfort through colder surf sessions. Designed as a kids winter steamer, it gives groms the extra insulation they need when a 3/2mm suit or spring suit is not warm enough.

The 4/3mm thickness provides added warmth through the body while still allowing movement through the arms and shoulders. The back zip entry makes the suit easier to get on and off, which is ideal for kids, surf lessons, early starts and long beach days where simple changing matters.

The Dawn Patrol range is a strong choice for young surfers who need dependable Rip Curl quality without stepping into the highest-price premium wetsuit category. The Neon Green colourway gives this suit a bright, easy-to-spot look in the water, which is a handy bonus for parents keeping an eye on the groms.
