The R4™ Front-Zip Hooded Full Suit is made with high-quality neoprene that meets Patagonia’s rigorous standards for stretch, durability and warmth, providing unparalleled performance in frigid conditions. To reduce the use of neoprene, we line the 5.5mm torso and thighs with 66% recycled polyester and 25% chlorine-free merino wool with a touch of spandex; the hydrophobic micro-grid polyester (67% recycled) thermal lining in the 4.5mm arms and legs dries fast and offers excellent flex. The floating front-zip maximizes freedom of movement through the shoulders and chest, and 100% exterior seam sealing eliminates leaks. All seams are triple glued, blindstitched and internally taped at high stress areas. Patagonia Ironclad Guarantee.
