FAQs

What does 4/3mm mean?

This refers to the thickness of the rubber. The suit is 4mm thick in the core for maximum warmth and 3mm in the arms and legs for better mobility.

Is natural rubber as warm as neoprene?

Yes, Yulex natural rubber offers thermal properties comparable to traditional neoprene while being significantly more sustainable.

How should I store my wetsuit for the off-season?

Clean it thoroughly, dry it completely, and store it lying flat or on a wide hanger in a cool, dark place away from ozone sources like heaters.

Can I use this suit for other water sports?

While designed for surfing, its flexibility and warmth make it an excellent choice for bodyboarding, kitesurfing, and general open-water swimming.

Why does the suit feel tight when dry?

Wetsuits are designed to fit like a second skin. Once submerged, the material becomes more supple, providing the intended comfort and performance.

Are the materials hypoallergenic?

Yulex natural rubber is generally well-tolerated, but those with specific latex sensitivities should consult the manufacturer or test a small area first.

Troubleshooting

Water flushing into the suit

Check if the S-Lock flush barrier is properly positioned. Ensure the cuffs and collar are sitting flat against your skin without fabric folds.

Zipper feels difficult to operate

Rinse the zipper track with fresh water to remove trapped sand or salt crystals. Ensure the internal flap is clear of the zipper teeth.

Seams show minor wear

Small tears or lifting tape can be addressed with appropriate wetsuit repair adhesive. Avoid using household glues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-conscious material composition using natural rubber
  • Excellent heat retention via ThermoSpan and Micro2Flex linings
  • Superior durability with G-Tape reinforcement
  • Ergonomic fit designed for high-performance surfing
  • Effective water entry prevention with S-Lock system

Cons

  • Back-zip entry may be less convenient than chest-zip models for some users
  • Requires careful sizing to ensure the S-Seal cuffs function correctly
  • Natural rubber requires diligent rinsing and drying care to maintain integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gul FLEXOR wetsuit, follow these essential maintenance steps:

  1. Initial Fit Check: Ensure the suit fits snugly against the skin. Gaps in the armpits or lower back will lead to water flushing, which decreases warmth.
  2. Rinsing: Always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every session to remove salt, sand, and organic debris.
  3. Drying: Avoid direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber. Dry the suit inside-out in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
  4. Storage: Hang the suit on a wide, wetsuit-specific hanger. Never use a thin wire hanger, as this will stretch and damage the shoulder material.
  5. Zipper Maintenance: If the stainless steel zipper feels tight, rinse thoroughly to remove grit. Do not force the zipper if it catches; gently clear the area before trying again.
