FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber made from responsibly managed forests, certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r). It's a sustainable alternative to neoprene, offering comparable performance in warmth and flexibility.

How does the chest zip entry work?

The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry system involves a bib panel that folds over the zipper, creating a secure seal and reducing the chance of water flushing through the zip area, leading to a streamlined feel.

Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water?

Yes, the combination of YULEX(r) natural rubber, Thermospan thermal lining, blindstitched seams, and G-Tape ensures excellent warmth for cold water conditions.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the specific size chart provided for the Gul FLEXOR 54 YULEX WOMENS CHEST ZIP BS STEAMER. Measure your chest, waist, and hips and compare these to the chart. A proper fit is crucial for warmth and performance.

Can I machine wash my wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Always rinse your wetsuit with fresh, cold water by hand after each use and air dry it in the shade.

What is the difference between Pinstripe External and X-Flex External panels?

Pinstripe External panels are typically used on the upper body for high-stretch and unrestricted movement, while X-Flex External panels are used on the lower body to provide high-performance flexibility where it's most needed.

Does the wetsuit have a key loop?

Yes, the wetsuit features a convenient key loop for securely storing your essential keys while you're in the water.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. Wetsuits should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or circulation. Natural rubber may feel slightly different initially than neoprene.

Water flushing into the suit.

Check that all seals (collar, cuffs, ankles) are properly positioned and snug. Ensure the chest zip is fully closed. Blindstitched seams are designed to minimize water entry, but some minimal flushing can occur with extreme movement.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently operate the zipper. If it feels stuck, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. You can use a wax-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers, but avoid silicone-based lubricants which may degrade natural rubber.

Delamination or peeling of seams.

This is uncommon if care instructions are followed. Inspect for any damage. If the G-Tape internal taping or blindstitching shows signs of lifting, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
