The D/Patrol 3/2 is built for sessions where the water’s cool but the waves are firing. E5 neoprene gives you stretch and warmth without the bulk, while E4 and E5 flash lining trap heat so you can stay out longer. Hydro-loc collar seals out water, and mesh skin panels cut wind chill on the paddle out. Inside, an internal key pocket keeps your essentials dry. No fuss, just a suit that moves with you and keeps the cold at bay.
FAQ
How warm is the D/Patrol 3/2 in real water temps?
The 3/2mm thickness with E4/E5 lining is designed for water temps around 16–20°C. It’s ideal for dawn patrols or late sessions when the air’s cooler than the water.
Does the Hydro-loc collar really stop water flushing?
Yes. The Hydro-loc collar uses a smooth, flexible seal that sits snug against your skin, cutting down on water entry and keeping you warmer for longer.
How do I care for the E5 neoprene to make it last?
Rinse in fresh water after every session, hang to dry in the shade, and store flat or on a wide hanger. Avoid direct sun and heat—neoprene hates both.
What’s the best way to size this wetsuit?
Go by your height and weight first, then check the Rip Curl size chart. The D/Patrol is cut for a snug, athletic fit—if you’re between sizes, size up for comfort.
