Pros: comfortable, warm, fast drying Cons: it leaks, I have tried different adjustments on the neck but it still leaks while duck diving no matter what I do. After a few years wearing chest zip wet suit, I got this one on sale... and this will be my last back zip wet suit... Also the key pocket is useless, it is in the back close to the zipper it is a very inconvenient place to put a key and it has no elastic loop string to hold the key in place... I doubt anyone would put a key in there....

I needed a backzip suit for days when im out there alone and have to put it on by myself. Im a lifter and getting my shoulders into a front zip is a nightmare, which is the only reason why i didnt go with the new fusion. This suit was is definitely more summer friendly than a 4/3 that i have. too soon to tell on the quality, but so far there are no problems

I'm 5'7", 148lbs, 40" chest. Ordered the Dawn Patrol MS. Suit was tight fitting getting it over my thighs and rear end. Suit was WAY to tight in the torso. Had to get help to pull it up onto my shoulders, arm movement was severely limited. Suggest you increase the torso dimensions for the MS suit or adjust the size chart. Other than a poor fit the suit appears well made. I'm not a buff guy, I just have a 50+ years surfer build.

This is my 5th RipCurl wetsuit and they never disappoint. It's warm, comfortable and the fit is consistent with the sizing chart. Greta suit for a great price.

Second dawn patrol suit I have bought. Great suit, but disappointed in the Velcro situation. Constantly have to be aware of it attaching to the suit, glad there is a reminder on the suit but maybe fix the problem instead of putting a reminder on it.

I recently bought a Dawn patrol F5 and it fits me like a glove. It's the best wetsuit I've had in years so much, so I'm buying at 3/2 Dawn patrol for spraying water is pretty cold lately. I'm glad I got my 4/3. Thank you, rip curl, you rock!!!!!
