FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber sourced from responsibly managed forests (FSC(r) & PEFC(r) certified). It is used as a sustainable alternative to neoprene, offering similar performance characteristics with a reduced environmental impact.

How does the chest zip entry work?

The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip features a flap system that allows for easy entry and exit. The bib is designed to lay flat and seal against the chest, minimizing water flushing from the front zip.

Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water?

Yes, the Thermospan Thermal Lining, blindstitched seams, and Glideskin collar are designed to provide warmth in a variety of water conditions. For very cold water, consider layering or a thicker wetsuit.

How do I ensure the best fit?

A wetsuit should fit like a second skin. There should be no major wrinkles or baggy areas, especially around the torso, crotch, and behind the knees. Ensure it's snug but allows for comfortable breathing and movement.

Can I machine wash or dry this wetsuit?

No, machine washing or drying is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Always hand rinse with fresh water and hang dry.

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

G-Tape is applied to critical stress points internally to reinforce the seams, enhancing their durability and water resistance, ensuring a longer lifespan for the wetsuit.

How durable are the Powertex4 Knee Pads?

The Powertex4 Knee Pads are a durable reinforcement designed to protect the knees from abrasion and impact, common in watersports like surfing.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or circulation. Refer to the sizing chart. Natural rubber can sometimes feel stiffer initially than neoprene.

Water leakage at seams or seals.

Check that all seals (collar, cuffs, ankles) are properly positioned and snug against the skin. Ensure the chest zip is fully closed and the bib is correctly tucked. Blindstitched seams are designed to minimize water entry, but some minimal seepage can occur.

Material feels stiff or less flexible.

Natural rubber can take a few wears to break in fully. Ensure the wetsuit is properly rinsed after each use. Avoid drying in direct sunlight, which can degrade the material.

Odors developing.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every use. Use a specialized wetsuit shampoo for occasional deep cleaning. Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry before storing.
