Patagonia R1 Lite Yulex Vest Wetsuit - Women's
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.
The interior lining of this women's wetsuit vest is stretchy and fast-drying 100% recycled polyester; with clean princess seams at the front and back, the streamlined anatomical design holds the vest snug to the body through long sessions in powerful surf. Other features include a 6-inch chest zipper with back flap for soft comfort against the skin, a rolled hem with zigzag coverstitching at the neck and arm openings, and a low-profile, fused-edge hem at the waist. Seams are sewn with flatlock construction for next-to-skin comfort; the water-resistant exterior face fabric is made from 88% recycled polyester blended with 12% spandex for additional stretch. Suggested water temperatures: 65–75° F/18–23° C.
