Rip Curl Boys Dawn Patrol Yulex 2mm FL Back Zip Long Sleeve Spring Suit
- Thickness: 2mm – full coverage in 2mm, the midway mark of surfing neoprenes in Australia and the perfect mid-season thickness for most of us. In QLD you can definitely get away with 2mm in winter.
- Style: Spring Suit – springies are short leg & short arm wetsuits, no neoprene on the elbows and knees gives you full freedom of movement and puts less resistance on the shoulder. Great for core temp retention, not the best at cutting windchill.
- 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: Back Zip – it’s a zip and its on your back, but to elaborate (because that’s my job) the backzip has spanned the entire history of wetsuits and is the easiest system to use in terms of entry/exit. The downside to back zips is that it inhibits expansion of the back panel because the zip itself doesn’t stretch – back panel stretch is vital when standing up on a surfboard as there is a great deal of back stretch when tucking your knees under.
