Product Info
After nearly 45 years on the outdoor sports scene it'd be pretty easy for Patagonia to rest on their laurels. Instead they keep innovating -- this time with the first-ever neoprene-free Yulex® wetsuit. A renewable natural rubber from trees grown in the highlands of Guatemala, Yulex® replaces a petroleum-based material (neoprene) with a plant-based one, offering the same warmth as traditional neoprene while reducing carbon emissions by up to 80% in the manufacturing process. The baller Patagonia R3 Yulex Back Zip Wetsuit meets the brand's rigorous standards for strength, stretch, durability, and ergonomic fit, while the back zip prevents water entry with the kind of enduring performance you've come to expect from restless industry-leader Patagonia.
