Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gul FLEXOR wetsuit, follow these essential maintenance steps:
- 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.
- Rinsing: Always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every session to remove salt, sand, and organic debris.
- Drying: Avoid direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber. Dry the suit inside-out in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- 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.
- 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.
