Patagonia R1 Lite Yulex Jane Springsuit
Patagonia Springsuit made from 85 % Yulex® natural rubber
The Patagonia R1 Lite Yulex is made of 85 % natural rubber and 15 % synthetic rubber in the polymer portion. This plant-based material instead of petroleum has the performance of conventional stretch neoprene, but produces around 80 % less CO2 emissions.
The material has a Forest Stewardship Council™ certificate from the Rainforest Alliance. An admixture of chlorine-free synthetic rubber increases the ozone and UV resistance, so that it meets Patagonia's high demands for robustness and durability.
Its material is 2 mm thick throughout, with an elastic, quick-drying lining made of 100 % recycled polyester. The outer material consists of 88 % recycled polyester and 12 % elastane.
The outer fabric and lining are now jet-dyed (saving 86 % of water per wetsuit compared to traditional dyeing) and laminated with AquaA™ water-based adhesive that contains no harmful solvents (VOCs). The vertical front zip makes it easy to get in and out, while flat seams optimise comfort.
