Performance Without Compromise. Planet Without Apology.
Built for surfers who demand as much from their gear as they do from themselves. The R1 Yulex Regulator is Patagonia’s answer to high-performance surfing with a conscience — a 3mm/2.5mm front zip wetsuit engineered for 16–18°C water, made without petroleum-based neoprene.

- Recycled nylon linings: solution-dyed stretch linings throughout; arm/leg interior: 100% recycled nylon; exterior: 83% recycled nylon / 17% recycled elastane; bonded with solvent-free AquaA® adhesive.
- Front zip closure: asymmetric entry with replaceable, corrosion-resistant Riri® zipper for a better seal and extended suit life; interior key loop for easy access.
- Unrestricted movement: Supratex kneepads and cuffs — durable, flexible, body-conforming without restriction.
- Fair Trade Certified™: made in a Fair Trade factory, ensuring fair wages for the people who made it.
