Dawn Patrol 3/2 Chest-Zip Wetsuit - Men's

E5 Flash Lining is a specialized material used in wetsuits that provides exceptional warmth and comfort. It is lightweight and quick-drying, which means you stay warm without feeling wet. The unique design traps heat while allowing moisture to escape, making it ideal for longer sessions in cooler waters.

E4 Thermoflex Neoprene is designed for maximum flexibility and stretch, allowing for greater movement while paddling and maneuvering on your board. This material not only keeps you warm in cooler temperatures but also ensures that you can move freely, enhancing your overall surfing performance.

GBS seams are a construction method that involves gluing the neoprene pieces together before stitching them. This technique minimizes water entry and enhances durability, ensuring that your wetsuit remains waterproof and comfortable during your surf sessions. It’s a key feature for anyone looking to stay warm and dry in the water.

A chest zip wetsuit is designed for easier entry and exit, making it more convenient to put on and take off. Additionally, the front zipper design reduces water entry, as it is typically more streamlined and less prone to leaks compared to back zippers. This means you can focus more on your surfing and less on adjusting your suit.

Freeflex Neoprene is engineered for maximum stretch and flexibility, allowing for a full range of motion. This is particularly beneficial for surfers who need to paddle and move their arms freely. The comfort and performance provided by Freeflex Neoprene can significantly enhance your surfing experience, making it easier to catch waves and perform maneuvers.

The combination of advanced materials like E5 Flash Lining, E4 Thermoflex Neoprene, and GBS seams not only enhances comfort and warmth but also significantly boosts the wetsuit's durability. These features work together to minimize wear and tear, resist water entry, and maintain performance over time, ensuring that your investment lasts through many surf sessions.
