A more secure alternative to bikini bottoms, Patagonia’s neoprene-free Women’s R1® Lite Yulex® Surf Shorts are made of 85% 1.5mm natural rubber and 15% synthetic rubber. Derived from sources that are Forest Stewardship Council® certified by the Rainforest Alliance, natural rubber is blended with chlorine-free synthetic rubber to increase ozone- and UV-resistance and to meet Patagonia’s rigorous standards for strength, stretch and durability. The interior lining is stretchy and fast-drying recycled polyester, with recycled polyester and spandex on the exterior face. Worn in your usual swimsuit size, the fit conforms to your body for flexibility and comfort while an elasticized waistband keeps the shorts snug and secure. The single back pocket has a handy key loop; seams are sewn with flatlock construction for next-to-skin comfort. Suggested water temperatures: 65–75° F/18–23° C. Body: 1.5mm 85% Yulex® natural rubber; 15% synthetic rubber by polymer content, lined with high-stretch 100% recycled polyester jersey. Exterior face: 88% recycled polyester; 12% spandex. Imported.
