The Story
Patagonia built the Regulator line for the coldest days you actually still go out on. Instead of oil- or limestone-based neoprene, the suit is made with 85% Yulex® natural rubber from FSC®-certified Hevea sources, and it is the first wetsuit in the industry whose face fabrics are made from NetPlus® postconsumer recycled nylon — recycled fishing nets, solution-dyed without water. The U-Zip entry was developed with AXXE Wetsuits and refined by Patagonia: a design that gets you in and out easily while keeping flushing down.
Details
- Neoprene-free Yulex® rubber: 85% natural rubber / 15% chlorine-free synthetic rubber by polymer content; the natural rubber is FSC® certified by Preferred by Nature™.
- Thickness: 6 mm body, 5 mm arms, 4 mm hood — maximum insulation where you need it, more flex where you paddle.
- Lining: NetPlus® postconsumer recycled nylon from recycled fishing nets; chest, back and hood use a 94% recycled nylon / 6% spandex thermal grid, arms and lower body a 100% recycled nylon jersey.
- Warmth: the 6/5/4 mm build plus the thermal-grid lining is designed for water temperatures below 45°F / 7°C.
- Seams: triple-glued and blindstitched with internal stretch seam tape, laminated with water-based, solvent-free AquA™ glue.
- Entry: U-Zip with a YKK® #5 stretch-coil zipper and extended, easy-to-reach pull — comfort and stretch with reduced flushing.
- Hood: attached and articulated, with ultra-thin rubber at neck and chin for movement and a better seal, plus pile around the ears.
- Extras: external wrist and ankle rubber gaskets, easy-access key loop, formfitting cut, 2,200 g weight.
- Care: hand wash, do not bleach, drip dry, do not iron, do not dry clean.
- Production: made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory in Thailand.

Patagonia manufacturer measurements, converted from inches and rounded. Not all sizes are available in every model. If you are between two sizes, chest and waist are the best guide — or ask us in store.
Water temperature for this suit (manufacturer statement):
| Thickness | Typical Water Temp |
|---|---|
| 6/5/4 mm hooded | below 45°F / 7°C (manufacturer) |
Fit should be snug everywhere with no air pockets at the neck, wrists or knees. If you sit between two sizes, check the chart against your chest measurement first — it is the best predictor.

FAQ
Is a 6/5 hooded suit too warm for shoulder season? Yes, most likely — Patagonia rates this suit for water below 45°F / 7°C. For warmer water, the Regulator 5/4 or 4/3 hooded suits are the better choice.
How does the U-Zip compare to a chest zip? The U-Zip with the YKK® #5 stretch-coil zipper is easier to get into, and its design keeps flushing to a level close to a chest zip.
Will Yulex® natural rubber feel different from neoprene? It is neoprene-free by construction, replacing oil- or limestone-based neoprene with natural rubber, while the formfitting cut keeps the stretch you expect.
How do I break the suit in? Rubber-based suits feel stiffest dry; after the first few sessions the Yulex® rubber and seam tape loosen up and the fit becomes personal.
