FAQs

What is YULEX(r) and why is it used?

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber derived from the hevea tree, certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r). It's used to provide a more sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional neoprene, offering excellent performance characteristics.

How does the blindstitched seam construction work?

Blindstitching involves seams that are stitched through only one layer of neoprene, leaving the thread hidden and creating a flat, strong, and water-resistant seam. G-Tape internal taping further reinforces critical areas.

What is the temperature range for this 3/2mm wetsuit?

A 3/2mm wetsuit like this is generally suitable for water temperatures between 13°C and 20°C (55°F to 68°F), depending on individual tolerance and conditions. The thermal lining enhances warmth in cooler parts of this range.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The RevoFit 3D pattern is designed for a contoured fit. Measure yourself accurately and compare with the sizing chart. The wetsuit should feel snug all over without restricting breathing or movement. There should be no major wrinkles or baggy areas.

Can this wetsuit be used for activities other than surfing?

While optimized for surfing, its flexibility and warmth make it suitable for other board sports like paddleboarding or windsurfing. However, for high-impact or abrasive watersports, additional protection might be needed.

What does 'BS' in the product name signify?

'BS' typically refers to 'Back Zip' entry, indicating the type of closure system used on this wetsuit.

How durable are the Powrtex4 knee pads?

Powrtex4 knee pads are designed for enhanced durability in high-stress areas like the knees, providing protection against abrasion and wear from the surfboard or SUP.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too stiff

Natural rubber can be stiffer initially. Wear the wetsuit in warm water for a short period to help it soften. Ensure it's properly rinsed and dried after use according to care instructions.

Water flushing into the wetsuit

Check that the back zip is fully closed and the S-Lock barrier is engaged. Ensure the GlideSkin collar and S-Seal cuffs/ankles are snug against your skin. Adjust the fit if necessary.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Rinse the zipper with fresh water to remove salt and sand. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like beeswax or a silicone-based zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Do not force the zipper.

Mildew or odor developing

Ensure the wetsuit is thoroughly rinsed and completely dry before storage. If odor persists, use a wetsuit-specific cleaner or a mild solution of diluted vinegar and water, followed by a thorough fresh water rinse and air dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-friendly materials reduce environmental impact.
  • Excellent warmth and thermal insulation for cold water conditions.
  • Durable construction with reinforced seams and knee pads.
  • Flexible and ergonomic fit allows for unrestricted movement.
  • Secure back zip entry with a waterproof zipper minimizes flushing.

Cons

  • YULEX(r) material may have a different feel compared to traditional neoprene.
  • Requires specific care instructions due to natural rubber composition.
  • Primarily designed for surfing; may not be optimal for all watersports.
  • Blackout zipper may require lubrication for smoother operation over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure the back zip is fully unzipped before attempting to put it on. Gently slide your legs in, followed by your arms, being careful not to snag the material on fingernails or jewelry. Once on, pull the back zip up and secure the fastener.

Compatibility:

The FLEXOR 32 YULEX STEAMER is optimized for surfing. Its material composition and design features like the GlideSkin collar and S-Seal cuffs are engineered to work with water conditions commonly encountered during surfing.

Care Instructions:

  • Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after each use, both inside and out.
  • Hang to dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the natural rubber.
  • Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or solvents.
  • Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
  • Store loosely folded or hung, not in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
