 The companies Patagonia and Yulex have introduced the first alternative to the traditional neoprene wetsuit, which is plant-based and even 30% stretchier and dries instantly.

The biorubber material is made from guayule, a renewable, non-food crop that requires very little water, grows domestically in the US, uses no pesticides, and in comparison to traditional neoprene, has a very clean manufacturing process.
