Patagonia
U-Zip entry in collaboration with AXXE wetsuits. Stretchy 85% Yulex® natural rubber/15% chlorine-free synthetic rubber by polymer content; the natural rubber is Forest Stewardship Council® certified by Preferred by Nature™
A first in wetsuits: All internal and external face fabrics are made with NetPlus® postconsumer recycled nylon made from recycled fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution, and solution-dyed, a process that uses no water in the dyeing process
Created by our friends at AXXE Wetsuits and enhanced through Patagonia’s technical approach, this collaborative design combines ease of entry with reduced flushing; the YKK® #5 stretch-coil zipper provides excellent stretch and comfort and has an extended, easy-to-reach zipper pull
Because the fit of a wetsuit is as important to your warmth as material thickness, we’ve completely redesigned all patterns for unbridled mobility, from the hood all the way down to the ankle cuff
All seams are triple-glued and blindstitched with internal stretch seam tape; linings are laminated with water-based, solvent-free AquaA® glue; external wrist and ankle rubber gaskets provide a secure fit and help prevent a blowout while dragging arm in the tube (or unforced dismount); easy-access key loop
Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, which means the people who made this product earned a premium for their labor
