Patagonia's Eco-Friendly Wetsuits

Filed under: Sports

Surfing's famous Malloy brothers have been working with outdoor gear company Patagonia to create a new more eco-friendly wetsuit. The wetsuit is made of Japanese neoprene lined with merino wool blended with recycled polyester to keep you warm when the water is cold and wick moisture away from the skin. The suit uses recycled polyester, chlorine-free wool, PVC-free kneepads and thinner neoprene layers to reduce the impact on the environment. Suits start around $350 while tops start around $110.
