Product Information

Full details

The Gul Flexor 43 Yulex Wetsuit is designed for the environmentally conscious surfer who refuses to sacrifice high-performance thermal insulation or flexibility. Utilizing FSC and PEFC certified natural rubber, it offers a sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene while maintaining premium heat retention and durability through advanced seam construction. Please note that achieving a 'second-skin' fit requires precise sizing, and the high-tech materials may require more careful rinsing and drying routines compared to standard entry-level suits.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Yulex material as warm as traditional neoprene?

Yes, Yulex natural rubber is engineered to match the thermal insulation properties of traditional neoprene while being significantly more sustainable.

What does the '43' in the model name represent?

The '43' indicates the suit's thickness profile, typically 4mm in the core for warmth and 3mm in the extremities for better flexibility.

Can I use a washing machine for this wetsuit?

No. You should only hand wash the wetsuit using cool fresh water and a mild wetsuit-safe cleaner if necessary.

Does the suit contain latex?

The product uses FSC and PEFC certified natural rubber. If you have a severe latex allergy, consult the manufacturer's specific material data sheet before use.

How do I choose the correct size?

The Flexor series uses a precise 3D fit. Refer to the standard UK sizing chart and ensure the suit feels like a 'second skin' without restricting your breathing or circulation.

Why is G-Tape used in this suit?

G-Tape is applied to critical seams to add a layer of protection that reinforces the stitch, ensuring durability and preventing water from leaking through the needle holes.

Troubleshooting

Difficult to zip up the back closure

Ensure the internal barrier panel is pulled smoothly over your chest before zipping. If the zipper feels stiff, ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth.

Water flushing into the ankles or cuffs

Check that the S-Seal cuffs are laying flat against your skin. If the seal is loose, fold the cuff edges slightly inward to improve skin contact.

Material feels stiff after storage

Natural rubber may stiffen if stored improperly. Ensure the suit is kept in a climate-controlled environment and avoid folding it in ways that cause permanent creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance natural rubber construction is more environmentally sustainable
  • Excellent heat retention provided by specialized thermal linings
  • Ergonomic design allows for unrestricted paddle movement
  • Durable seam construction with internal G-Tape reinforcement
  • Waterproof zipper system minimizes cold water entry

Cons

  • Requires more diligent care routines than synthetic neoprene
  • Fit is very specific and may not suit all body shapes equally
  • Requires proper storage to maintain material integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the life of your Gul Flexor 43, follow these setup and maintenance steps:

  1. Getting In: Open the S-Lock barrier completely before pulling the suit on to avoid straining the seams. Step in feet first, pulling the suit up to your hips, then work it over your shoulders.
  2. Rinsing: Always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every use to remove salt, sand, and organic debris. This is critical for maintaining the integrity of the Yulex rubber.
  3. Drying: Hang the suit on a thick plastic hanger in a shaded area. Never dry it in direct sunlight or using a heat source, as UV rays and heat can degrade the natural rubber components.
  4. Storage: Once fully dry, store the suit in a cool, dry place. Avoid using wire hangers, which can stretch out the shoulder material over time.
