Patagonia wetsuit

Love the fit and quality of the new Patagonia wetsuit. Very flexible and the best part is the Yulex. I have an allergy to Latex and this material works so better for me than neoprene.The delivery and price was spot on.
Thanks

Almost great

Each time that Patagonia does a redesign of their wetsuits, I give one another try. Here are my pros and cons when comparing this suit to a similarly-priced Yamamoto neoprene version from a competitor.

Pros:
- The stretchiness of this new version of Yulex rubber is fantastic. The stretch along with the cut of the shoulders makes for really easy paddling.
- The fit is the most well-tailored of any wetsuit I've tried
- The new zippers are really smooth.
- Yulex doesn't require toxic manufacturing. Look up The Big Sea documentary.

Cons:
- The seams are too leaky for a brand new wetsuit. It's been my main issue with Patagonia suits and I'm bummed that they still haven't nailed this. The side torso and lower back seams are the most noticeable for me.
- The drying time is about 1.5 times longer than Yamamoto

I've been buying Patagonia wetsuits ever since the heavy wool-lined days of 2010. I'm a big supporter of the direction of the wetsuit program and the company's general mission. I'm able to put up with some quirks and limitations to use a greener wetsuit but I am excited for the days soon to come when Patagonia's suits will be the best by any measurement,
