Patagonia reformulated the Yulex® material in theirspring suits, making them lighter, stretchier and more comfortable. Offering full-arm warmth and sun protection, theirredesigned, neoprene-free R1® Lite Yulex® Long-Sleeved Top is made of 1.5mm 85% natural rubber/15% synthetic rubber by polymer content. Replacing a petroleum-based material with a plant-based one, it offers the same 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, they blend the natural rubber with chlorine-free synthetic rubber to increase ozone- and UV-resistance and meet their rigorous standards for strength, stretch and durability. The interior lining is stretchy and fast-drying 100% recycled polyester; the exterior face fabric is made of durable, water-resistant 88% recycled polyester/12% spandex.

The face fabric and lining are now solution dyed—using 86% less water than conventional dyeing—and are laminated with water-based AquaA™ glue that’s free from harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A streamlined anatomical design holds snug to the body for maximum comfort and flex; other features include a vertical front-zip entry with corrosion-proof Salmi® zipper and an easy-access key loop. Seams are sewn with flatlock construction for next-to-skin comfort and durability. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ facility. Suggested water temperatures: 65–75° F/18–23° C.
