Product Information

Full details

The Gul Response 3mm Flatlock Natur Shortjohn Wetsuit is an ideal choice for entry-level surfers, open-water swimmers, and paddleboarders who need a balance of warmth and mobility in milder water conditions. By combining premium NatuR BEYOND natural rubber with ultra-stretch materials, it offers high-end performance at an accessible level, though it is specifically optimized for warmer waters rather than extreme cold-weather surfing.

FAQs

Is this suit suitable for winter surfing?

No, the 3mm Shortjohn design leaves the arms exposed and is intended for warmer water temperatures.

How should I store my wetsuit?

Store it on a wide hanger in a cool, dry, and dark place. Never leave it folded in a damp state.

Can I use this suit in a swimming pool?

Yes, but ensure you rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to remove chlorine, which can degrade the rubber.

What is the benefit of the flatlock seams?

Flatlock seams are strong and durable, laying flat against the skin to reduce irritation, making them ideal for high-stretch summer suits.

How do I know if the suit fits correctly?

It should feel snug like a second skin without restricting your breathing or movement. It should not have large gaps under the arms or back.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty getting into the suit

Ensure the suit is completely dry before putting it on, or use a plastic bag over your feet to help them slide through the leg openings.

Chafing around the neck or arms

Apply a dedicated wetsuit lubricant or anti-chafe balm to the skin before wearing; ensure the Glideskin openings are lying flat against the skin.

Stiff or brittle rubber feeling

This may be due to salt build-up or sun exposure. Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly with fresh water and storing in a cool, dark place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent flexibility for swimming and paddling
  • Environmentally friendly natural rubber construction
  • Easy-access velcro shoulder entry system
  • Anatomic 3D fit reduces drag and fatigue
  • Glideskin seals provide superior comfort

Cons

  • Flatlock seams are not fully watertight compared to blind-stitched models
  • Shortjohn design provides limited limb coverage in cold conditions
  • Requires proper rinsing after each use to maintain rubber integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting a proper fit is essential for the performance of the RevoFit technology; ensure the suit sits flush against your skin without large air pockets. When putting the suit on, use the velcro shoulder system carefully to avoid snagging the material.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every session to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Avoid direct sunlight when drying, as UV rays degrade natural rubber over time.
  3. Hang the suit on a wide, non-metallic wetsuit hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
  4. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as heat and agitation will damage the seams and fabric.
