Patagonia wetsuits feature high-quality Japanese superstretch neoprene that you won't find in any other suit on the market. Smooth skin coating on the torso and back reduce evaporative cooling in windy conditions. The interior consists of recycled polyester laminated to chlorine-free merino wool. It's constructed as a grid to create dead air space and retain lots of warmth. The wool is fast drying and reduces odor. Neoprene underarm panels are backed by nylon jersey on both sides for better stretch while paddling. Recycled polyester jersey outside the seat and legs increases durability with less environmental impact. All seams are triple glued and blindstitched for durability; crotch seams are internally taped. Anatomical, compression molded kneepads are PVC-free for better durability and less environmental harm.

Toasty, 4-19-2012
Reviewer: Dan
I had an initial test of the suit yesterday in water which was around 2 - 3C and what a difference. I spent the first 20 minutes of the session getting slammed and the suit flushed a few times but as soon as I was up and paddling I was instantly warm.
I spent a 2+ hour session without getting cold and there was steam rising from the suit when I took it off. The suit has great flex for paddling and it was much better than I expected.
Toasty warm in winter-like surf... sweet!
