Our neoprene-free Yulex wetsuits are made of 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. Derived from sources that are Forest Stewardship Council certified by the Rainforest Alliance, we blend the natural rubber with chlorine-free synthetic rubber to increase ozone- and UV-resistance and meet our rigorous standards for strength, stretch and durability. With an anatomical, motion-focused design that maximizes comfort and flexibility while minimizing weight, the R2 Yulex Front-Zip Full Suit is 3.5mm in the torso and thighs, lined with high-stretch, fast-drying 51% recycled polyester/44% polyester/5% elastane inverted microgrid, 3mm in the arms and legs, lined with high-stretch, fast-drying 100% recycled polyester jersey, the face fabric is 85% recycled polyester/15% elastane. The floating front-zip features a corrosion-proof zipper and asymmetrical flap for better seal, the Salmi zipper is fully replaceable to extend the suit’s lifespan. 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: 55-60 F/13-16 C.
