Are Patagonia wetsuits good?

Overall: 5/5 Stars. Patagonia’s R4 Yulex is one of the best overall wetsuits I’ve used. It’s exceedingly warm, super comfortable, and flexible in all the right places. It dries about as fast as most of the other new suits.

What is Patagonia R3?

Patagonia discontinued this version of the R3. The Patagonia R3 Jacket is one of the warmest technical non-hooded fleece jackets we tested. We prefer it to the also revised Patagonia R2 because it is warmer, has larger hand warmer pockets, looks better and only weighs 1.6 ounces more than the R2.

Are Patagonia wetsuits worth the price?

Overall: 5/5 Stars. Patagonia’s R4 Yulex is one of the best overall wetsuits I’ve used. The only drawback is the price, which is a little higher than some other brands, but if you’re in the market for a wetsuit that will last and keep you warm — the two most important aspects of a wetsuit — the R4 is worth the price.

Why do you wear the R4?

The windproof membrane makes the R4 comfortable as an outer layer when less active around camp. It is also a fantastic mid layer under a shell. While I have other coats that I would rate as warmer, such as down parkas, etc., I can’t think of any jacket that so noticeably keeps my arms warm.

Is the R4 too warm to wear while hiking?

But in the deepest winter when I know it’s going to be constantly cold, the R4 makes the trip. I solve the packability problem by WEARING it. Other reviewers have stated that it is too warm to wear while hiking. For most of the year I would agree, but for near freezing temps or below I think it is ideal. For one thing, it is easy to vent.

Is the Denali R4 windproof?

The Denali isn’t windproof but it’s water resistant to a point. The R4 fills that gap as an everyday winter coat. I wouldn’t recommend it to wear it above 40 degrees due to how warm it is, unless it’s really windy. Just don’t let your girl friend or wife get a hold of it. You might have to buy another one for her like I did.
