FAQs
What makes YULEX(r) natural rubber sustainable?
YULEX(r) is derived from responsibly managed forests, certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r). It is a renewable resource and a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional neoprene.
How does the chest zip entry system work?
The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip features a bib-like entry system that overlaps the main zipper, creating a watertight seal and minimizing flushing compared to back zip designs.
Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water?
The 5/4mm thickness, combined with the Thermospan Thermal Lining and YULEX(r) natural rubber, makes this wetsuit suitable for cooler water conditions.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The wetsuit should feel snug all over without restricting breathing. The RevoFit 3D Pattern Technology is designed for an anatomical fit, so try it on and move to check for any tightness or looseness.
Can I machine wash this wetsuit?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and seals. Always hand wash by rinsing with fresh water.
What is the purpose of the G-Tape Internal Taping?
G-Tape is applied in critical zones to reinforce the seams, enhancing their strength and water resistance, which contributes to the overall durability and warmth of the wetsuit.
Troubleshooting
Water entry at the zipper
Ensure the Quadrate Chest Bib Zip is fully secured and the Pro Glideskin Collar is properly aligned and sealed.
Reduced flexibility
Verify the wetsuit size is correct. The RevoFit 3D Pattern Technology requires a snug fit for optimal movement. Ensure no foreign objects are impeding the panels.
Material degradation or cracking
Ensure the wetsuit is rinsed with fresh water after each use and dried away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Seals feel stiff
Rinse the seals with fresh water and gently flex them. Proper drying and storage away from heat can help maintain flexibility.

Care:
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every use.
