FAQs

What makes YULEX(r) natural rubber different from neoprene?

YULEX(r) is a plant-based, sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene, derived from FSC(r) & PEFC(r) certified rubber trees. It offers similar performance characteristics in terms of flexibility and insulation.

How do I determine the correct size for my wetsuit?

Refer to the Gul sizing chart for precise measurements. A proper fit is crucial for warmth and performance; the wetsuit should feel snug but not restrict breathing or major movement.

Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water temperatures?

The FLEXOR 32 YULEX is designed for performance in various conditions. The '32' typically indicates a 3mm thickness, suitable for a range of temperatures. For colder waters, consider thicker wetsuits or additional thermal layers.

Can I machine wash my wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and construction. Always hand wash gently with fresh water.

How durable are the Powertex4 Knee Pads?

The Powertex4 Knee Pads are reinforced to provide enhanced durability and protection against abrasion, which is common in watersports like surfing.

What is the purpose of the G-Tape Internal Taping?

G-Tape is applied internally in critical zones to enhance seam strength and improve water resistance, contributing to the overall longevity and performance of the wetsuit.

Does the wetsuit come with a warranty?

Refer to the retailer or Gul's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping the chest entry

Ensure the fabric behind the zipper is flat and not bunched. Lubricate the zipper track with a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for wetsuits if it feels stiff.

Water flushing from the neck area

Adjust the Pro Glideskin Collar for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the chest zip is fully closed and the bib is properly positioned.

Reduced flexibility or stiffness

Ensure the wetsuit is fully dry. Natural rubber can feel stiff when wet; allow it to air dry completely. Check that you have the correct size; a wetsuit that is too tight will restrict movement.

Seams feel weak or are separating

Inspect the G-Tape Internal Taping in critical zones. Minor fraying can sometimes be repaired with wetsuit seam sealant. If significant separation occurs, contact customer support.

Wetsuit smells musty

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every use and allow to dry completely in a well-ventilated area. For stubborn odors, use a specialized wetsuit shampoo.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally friendly construction with YULEX(r) natural rubber.
  • Excellent flexibility and a comfortable, second-skin fit.
  • Effective warmth retention due to Thermospan lining and S-Seal cuffs.
  • Durable construction with reinforced knee pads and strong seam sealing.
  • Streamlined chest zip entry minimizes flushing.

Cons

  • Chest zip entry may require a slight adjustment period for surfers accustomed to back zips.
  • Natural rubber may have a different feel compared to traditional neoprene.
  • The 'True Thickness Foam' ensures reliable insulation but doesn't explicitly state the exact thickness.
  • External Pinstripe panels are primarily for aesthetics and stretch, not core insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wetsuit requires no complex setup. Simply put it on and secure the chest zip entry. Ensure the Pro Glideskin Collar is properly aligned to create a seal.

Compatibility:

The FLEXOR 32 YULEX CHEST ZIP GBS STEAMER is designed for watersports, primarily surfing. It is compatible with standard wetsuit accessories and care products. The **PK [*]8 Low Profile Stainless Steel Zipper** is corrosion-resistant, ensuring smooth operation.

Care Instructions:

  • Always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use, both inside and out.
  • Hand wash gently; do not machine wash or dry clean.
  • Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
  • Dry your wetsuit naturally, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Hang it on a wide, padded hanger or lay it flat to prevent creasing or stretching.
  • Store in a cool, dry place, ideally hanging on a broad hanger to maintain its shape.
