Patagonia R3® Yulex Wetsuit Gloves Black

Patagonia R3 Yulex Wetsuit Gloves Black – Warmth and Grip for Cold Water

The Patagonia R3 Yulex Wetsuit Gloves are designed for surfers and water sports enthusiasts who need reliable protection and flexibility in cold water. With a 3mm thickness, these gloves provide optimal insulation for water temperatures between 9 and 13°C. Made from 85% Yulex® natural rubber sourced from FSC-certified plantations and 15% synthetic rubber, they offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional neoprene gloves. The interior lining is 100% recycled polyester, reducing environmental impact.

Materials and Construction

The exterior is crafted from 88% recycled polyester and 12% recycled elastane, providing extra stretch and durability. The solution-dyed lining reduces water usage and CO2 emissions during production. All seams are fully sealed with water-based AquaA™ glue, free from solvents. The gloves are triple-glued, blindstitched, and internally taped at stress points for long-lasting waterproofing.

Fit and Functionality

The pre-shaped design ensures a snug fit, enhancing mobility and comfort. A microgasket at the wrist prevents water entry, while the silicone-ink 3D palm print delivers maximum grip on your board or paddle. Weighing only 113 grams, the R3 Yulex Gloves are built for intensive use in various conditions.

Sustainability and Certification

Produced in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, these gloves ensure workers receive a premium for their labor. The use of FSC-certified natural rubber and recycled materials highlights Patagonia’s commitment to reducing environmental impact.
