Product details:
Made in a Fair Trade Certified facility, our neoprene-free Yulex wetsuits are warm and stretchy 85% natural rubber/15% synthetic rubber by polymer content. Replacing a petroleum-based material with a plant-based one, they offer the same warmth and performance attributes as conventional stretch neoprene while reducing CO2 emissions by up to ~80% in the manufacturing process. Patterned for maximum flexibility and an improved fit, the R4 Yulex Back-Zip Full Suit is 5.5mm in the torso and thighs, lined with high-stretch, fast-drying 95% polyester (51% recycled)/5% spandex inverted microgrid; 4mm in the arms and legs, lined with high-stretch, fast-drying 100% recycled polyester jersey; the exterior fabric is 85% recycled polyester/15% spandex. The exterior fabric and interior linings are now solution-dyed—saving 100 liters of water per suit compared to conventional dyeing—and are laminated with water-based AquaA glue that’s free from harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Center-back zip allows easy access and has an internal gasket to prevent water entry. Supratex kneepads and ankle cuffs provide excellent abrasion resistance and increased durability. 100% external seam sealing; all seams are triple glued and internally taped. Easy-access key loop included. Suggested water temperatures: 38??8° F/3??° C.
