A new fit and a new zip, still backed by Patagonia’s Ironclad Guarantee

Patagonia have redesigned their wetsuits working with top scientists to draw on data from thermal research, flush analysis and movement studies for a better-performing companion on the wabes.

Fit matters as much as neoprene thickness when it comes to staying warm, so Patagonia redrew every pattern from scratch. The new cuts move better and suit a wider range of body types.

There’s a new, U-zip entry which started life with AXXE Wetsuits. Patagonia’s technical team refined it, and the result is a comfier suit that lets in less water.

The Ironclad Guarantee still covers every suit, and a dedicated repair team is on hand to keep you in the water.
