Patagonia R1 Lite Yulex Full-Zip Wetsuit – Men’s Black M

Is good for you and the environment – by Patagonia Patagonia’s stretchy neoprene-free Yulex wetsuits made from 85 % natural rubber and 15 % synthetic rubber in polymer content are manufactured in a Fair-Trade certified facility. Their plant-based rather than petroleum-based material offers the thermal insulation and performance of conventional stretch neoprene but produces around 80 % less CO2 emissions. The material has a Forest Stewardship Council certificate from the Rainforest Alliance. An admixture of chlorine-free synthetic rubber increases ozone and UV resistance so it meets Patagonia’s and your high standards for resilience and durability. The super lightweight R1 Lite Yulex Front-Zip Full Suit is designed for maximum stretch and free movement. Its 2 mm thick material has a highly elastic quick-drying lining made of 100 % recycled material. The outer material consists of 85 % recycled polyester and 15 % elastane. The outer fabric and lining are now jet-dyed saving 100 litres of water per suit compared to traditional dyeing and laminated with AquaA water-based adhesive that contains no harmful solvents VOCs. The full-opening asymmetrical front flap with stainless zipper closes tightly and allows maximum mobility for chest and shoulders. The Salmi zipper is completely replaceable to extend the life of the suit.
