Patagonia designs eco wet suit with The Malloy Bros
Dan Malloy, one of surfing's legendary Malloy Brothers, told me about the revolutionary eco-friendly wet-suits that he and his siblings have helped develop with outerwear brand Patagonia. The brothers have been working with Patagonia, whose founders are part of the same Ventura, CA, surfer scene they grew up in, for the last three years, helping the company test and develop the suits. They have been designed using the same principles used to create insulated ski outerwear, resulting in a warmer, more environmentally-friendly sea-skin. They're made from high-quality Japanese neoprene rubber and lined with chlorine-free merino wool and recycled polyester. Wear one, and you'll still feel warm even in 55 degree water. Brrrr.
The suits can be purchased from Patagonia stores. Click here for more information.
