The founder of Patagonia, Yvon Chouinard, has stated that these wetsuits are 'the best products that ever came out of this company'. But don't just take his word for it - try one of these amazing suits for yourself.
The R3 front zip wetsuit comes in 3mm neoprene, which is usually associated with summer suits, but here's the clever bit that marks the Patagonia suits out from the rest...They use a very specialised neoprene that has a high-density nitrogen cell structure that has incredible insulation properties, then they back this up with a unique merino wool lining that adds significantly to the warmth factor.
Patagonia has completely revolutionised the wetsuit industry with these amazing suits.
