The R2 Yulex 3.5m/3mm Chest Zip wetsuit is for the surfer who wants to get in the water faster, surf longer, and wear a suit that leaves a lighter impact on the environment than ever before. Designed for water in the 55-60 degrees Fahrenheit range.
Patagonia’s wetsuit line has been completely redesigned this season. The new suits feature an updated patterning across the back shoulder seam for ease of motion while paddling; a wider, lower-profile internal seam tape for utmost comfort; new 100% recycled, ultra-soft polyester arm and leg linings that saves 18 water bottles per suit; 100% recycled spandex in the external and internal thermal linings; AQUAa water-based glue; and, solution-dyed linings. They’re still constructed from a neoprene-free blend of 85% Yulex® natural rubber from sources that are FSC® certified by the Rainforest Alliance (meaning the forest of hevea trees––the source of the rubber––doesn’t come from a newly cut rainforest) and 15% synthetic rubber by polymer content. All Patagonia’s wetsuits are Fair Trade Certified™ sewn (the only Fair Trade Certified™ wetsuits in the industry, by the way).

Warranty
This product is backed by a warranty from the manufacturer. Click below for details on the warranty policy for Patagonia products.
Patagonia Ironclad Guarantee
We stand behind everything we make, including our wetsuits. But wetsuits
require care if they are going to perform and wear the way they were
intended. Patagonia is not responsible for wetsuits that are abused or show
normal wear and tear over time. Scratches and fading are inevitable, as are
tears from the occasional close call with a fin.
Wetsuit Care Guideline:
Rinse your wetsuit with fresh water after every use.
After rinsing, fold in half at waist and hang dry.
Do not store it wet, or in direct sunlight.
Suit up carefully. We've selected high-stretch materials for their
comfort and function. Avoid overstretching fabric and seams. Do not step
on one leg to pull the other leg out.
If possible, change in a plastic tub or on a mat
Our wetsuit warranty does not cover upgrading your older Patagonia wetsuit
to a current model. We are continuously improving our designs and materials,
but that doesn't make your existing wetsuit unsatisfactory. It just means
that the next one you buy will be even better than the last.
