Patagonia R1 Lite Yulex Front-Zip Spring Suit Wetsuit
The Patagonia neoprene-free Yulex wetsuits are made of 85% natural rubber/15% synthetic rubber by polymer content. Get a great deal on these Sales Rep Samples! Replacing a petroleum-based material with a plant-based one, they offer the same warmth and performance attributes as conventional stretch neoprene while reducing CO2 emissions by up to ~80% in the manufacturing process. Derived from sources that are Forest Stewardship Council certified by the Rainforest Alliance, Patagonia blends the natural rubber with chlorine-free synthetic rubber to increase ozone- and UV-resistance and meet rigorous standards for strength, stretch and durability.
Providing core warmth and sun protection, the R1 Lite Yulex Front-Zip Spring Suit is 2mm throughout, lined with stretchy and fast-drying 100% recycled polyester; the face fabric is an 88% recycled polyester/12% spandex blend. The floating front-zip entry provides excellent flexibility through the chest and shoulders and has a corrosion-proof Salmi zipper that is fully repairable to extend the suit’s lifespan. Seams are sewn with flatlock construction for next-to-skin comfort. Easy-access key loop included. Suggested water temperatures: 65–75° F/18–23° C.
