Patagonia R1 Lite Yulex Front Zip Long Sleeve Top Men's

Surfers have traditionally relied on neoprene wetsuits to keep them warm and agile while paddling out and catching swells. Unfortunately, neoprene poses a major environmental problem by requiring the use of petroleum and toxic chemicals throughout production. Eliminating this harmful impact, the Patagonia R1 Lite Yulex Front Zip Long Sleeve Top replaces neoprene with Yulex natural rubber. This bio based rubber maintains the same warmth and stretch characteristics of traditional neoprene, but with a drastic 80% reduction in CO2 emissions throughout the wetsuit's production process. This 1. 5 millimeter wetsuit top is an ideal choice for the surfer seeking extra insulation from chilly morning waves and breezy conditions. The full length front zipper allows for painless entry and exit without bending like a contortionist. Triple glued, blindstitched seams prevent water from seeping inside and chilling your core. The seams are internally spot taped along high stress zones for greater durability. There's also a fused waistline for a low profile fit.
