…is the Patagonia that are sold ONLY in the tokyo shop. Even not online I think.
These ones are only made in Japan and are not from Neoprene; a month ago, the manager showed me the natural plant, etc that is based the material.
They are kind of dark Grey not Black; extremely flexible, super light (for a full wetsuit) and around 4mm. The inside has a plush thingy similar to the Rip Curl flash bomb. Have very tiny stitches, then glued, etc. Small logotypes to not be out of tune with the minimalist esthetic.
Compared with the Patagonias (R3s etc) that are sold in other Patagonia shops in several countries (and here in Japan too), well, nothing compares, these are truly unique and far better.
You can order one to fit you.
1100 Dollars or so…too much in my opinion; I must say.
I’m not in any case related to Patagonia, nor is this intended as a publicity, but hands down these are the best full winter suits that I have ever seen…and I live in the cold water around 8 months per year and have a Rip Curl F-bomb 4/3 chest zip plus 5 mm booties
