The integrated hood seals body heat where you lose it fastest, so you can stay in the water longer when sea temperatures drop into single digits. We've sold these to surfers heading into the Welsh winter at Rest Bay and Llantwit and they keep coming back for the warmth-to-flex ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Yulex over neoprene?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 100% neoprene-free wetsuit. The rubber is 85% Yulex natural rubber from Forest Stewardship Council certified sources, plus 15% synthetic rubber by polymer content, with a recycled nylon lining. Patagonia's manufacturing process for Yulex rubber generates roughly 80% less CO2 than traditional neoprene production. If you care about what your wetsuit is made of and where it came from, this is the warmest option that doesn't rely on petrochemical neoprene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpec at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 4.5mm body \/ 3.5mm arms and shoulders for flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated hood with snug face seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsymmetrical chest-zip with replaceable corrosion-proof Riri zipper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolution-dyed thermal lining: 51% recycled nylon, 44% recycled polyester, 5% recycled elastane on torso and thighs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupratex kneepads and cuffs for durability without binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy-access key loop on the inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuggested water temperature: 9 to 13°C \/ 48 to 55°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFair Trade Certified factory production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing and stock\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in Mens sizes MS, M, MT, LS and L.
