The Gul FLEXOR 54 BS YULEX CHEST ZIP STEAMER is designed for surfers who prioritize environmental responsibility alongside high performance and warmth. Its key benefit is the use of sustainable YULEX(r) natural rubber, offering excellent flexibility and insulation without the environmental impact of traditional neoprene. A potential consideration is that natural rubber may require slightly different care compared to synthetic materials to maintain its properties.

YULEX(r) is a sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene, made from natural rubber sourced from trees. It is FSC(r) and PEFC(r) certified, meaning it comes from responsibly managed forests. It provides excellent warmth, flexibility, and buoyancy while significantly reducing environmental impact.
A properly fitting wetsuit should feel snug all over, like a second skin, without restricting your breathing or movement. There should be no large gaps or baggy areas, especially around the neck, arms, and legs. The RevoFit 3D Pattern Technology is designed to enhance this second-skin feel.
No, it is strongly recommended not to machine wash your wetsuit. Machine washing can damage the delicate materials, seams, and seals. Always hand wash with fresh water and a mild detergent.
The best way to store your wetsuit is by hanging it on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Avoid folding or storing it in a compressed state, as this can create permanent creases and damage the rubber.
Pinstripe external panels are typically used on the upper body for high-stretch capability, allowing for maximum arm and shoulder mobility. X-Flex external panels are used on the lower body to provide high-performance flexibility where it's most needed for leg movement and paddling.
The Powertex4 Knee Pads are reinforced to provide enhanced durability and protection against abrasion and impact, common in surfing activities. They are designed to withstand repeated use and rough conditions.
G-Tape Internal Taping is applied to critical zones within the wetsuit's seams. Its purpose is to enhance the overall strength and water resistance of the seams, preventing leaks and increasing the lifespan of the wetsuit.
Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size and has been put on properly. Check that all zippers and seals are correctly aligned. Natural rubber wetsuits may have a different feel initially compared to neoprene.
Ensure the ABS Chest Zip is fully and correctly closed. Check the Pro Glideskin Collar for a snug fit around the neck and ensure there are no gaps. Make sure the G-Tape Internal Taping is correctly positioned.
This can sometimes occur with natural rubber. Ensure the wetsuit is regularly rinsed with fresh water and dried properly away from direct heat. Avoid stretching the seams excessively when dry.
For small nicks, consider using a wetsuit repair adhesive specifically designed for neoprene or natural rubber. For larger tears, professional repair may be necessary.
Setup: This wetsuit requires no complex setup. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and performance. The ABS Chest Zip Entry is designed for easy and secure closure.
Compatibility: Compatible with most surfing accessories. Features a convenient Key Loop for securing essential items.
