Rip Curl Mens Dawn Patrol 1.5mm FL Long Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket

• Thickness: 1.5mm - used throughout the suit. 1.5mm is flexy and very effective at moderate insulation and cutting wind chill, but not enough for a winter wetsuit throughout most of Australia.
• Style: Jackets - or wetty tops, are the natural born enemy to shoulder seasons and whinchill, giving you some heat retention without having to commit to a wetsuit, but bear in mind water can enter much easier than a jacket so if core temps are your concern go a spring or more.
• Rubber: E5 Neoprene - a few years ago E5 was the stretchiest neoprene on the market and thanks to Rip Curl's material trickle down you can now revel in once top-tier flexibility and warmth without the price.
• Seam: Flatlock Seam - I'd bet there'd be enough flatlock stitch laid in the history of wetsuits to cover the distance of here to the moon and back, and for good reason. It's extremely durable, almost 2D and is the most cost effective seam out there. But bear in mind the many pinholes created in the stitching process creates plenty of passages for cold water to enter the suit.
• Zip: Zipperless - no zip is the best zip because doing so removes the only no-stretch element of a wetsuit and zips can let in water. Zipperless wetsuits are entered via an overlapping shoulder panel and can be a challenge to get in, but if you can get in, you're never going to want to get out (because its comfy, not because you're stuck).
