Quality Guarantee Patagonia R2 Yulex 3.5/3 Hooded Chest Zip Wetsuit

The 3.5m/3mm R2® Yulex® Front-Zip is great for the surfer who wants to get in the water faster, surf longer and wear a suit that leaves a lighter impact on the environment than ever before. With an updated entry system that allows for easier on and off the fit and comfort of this suit is better than ever.

Patagonia’s wetsuit line has been completely redesigned this season. The new suits feature an updated patterning across the back shoulder seam for ease of motion while paddling; a wider, lower-profile internal seam tape for utmost comfort; new 100% recycled, ultra-soft polyester arm and leg linings that saves 18 water bottles per suit; 100% recycled spandex in the external and internal thermal linings; AQUAa water-based glue; and, solution-dyed linings. They’re still constructed from a neoprene-free blend of 85% Yulex® natural rubber from sources that are FSC® certified by the Rainforest Alliance (meaning the forest of hevea trees––the source of the rubber––doesn’t come from a newly cut rainforest) and 15% synthetic rubber by polymer content. All Patagonia’s wetsuits are Fair Trade Certified™ sewn (the only Fair Trade Certified™ wetsuits in the industry, by the way).
