Patagonia R5 Yulex 6.5/5.5 Wetsuit Review
Patagonia R5 2021 Review by The Good Ride
The Patagonia R5 is a really burley wetsuit and probably the best choice for warmth. They talk a lot about environmentally responsible construction, which is great. But, what is less on the front end is how warm Yulex is and how little water it absorbs. This XLS didn’t quite fit correctly so it wasn’t water tested. That being said we have tested the R3 extensively with the same materials only thinner. It is an incredibly warm well built wetsuit.
