Free shipping on Patagonia wetsuits

April 04, 2010 | Words By: wetsandsurfshop

patagonia_suits Our partners at Wetsand are currently offering free shipping to the UK and Europe on Patagonia wetsuits.


We’ve set up a deal to get Patagonia suits over to you in Europe, so if you’re thinking of taking the plunge with one of their wool-lined numbers then check out the range here.

We tested a winter R4 and it was a really nice change from some of the suits we’ve tested over time. It’s made well, to last, and is super comfortable with its Merino wool lining. It doesn’t have any flimsy seam seals and was a comfortable, flexible alternative. The suit range has all the usual enviro features, Japanese rubber, recycled polyester and chlorine-free wool.

Check out the size chart here. Prices start at £308 delivered.
