FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber and why is it used?

YULEX(r) is a brand of natural rubber derived from rubber trees, certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r). It's used as a sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene, offering comparable warmth and flexibility with a reduced environmental impact.

How does the chest zip entry system work?

The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry uses a panel that folds across the chest and zips up. This design is intended to reduce flushing compared to back zip systems and allows for greater freedom of movement in the shoulders.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

The FLEXOR 43 YULEX has a 4/3mm thickness (4mm in the torso, 3mm in the limbs) and features Thermospan lining for warmth. It's suitable for a range of conditions, but for extremely cold water, thicker suits or additional thermal layers might be necessary depending on individual tolerance.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Gul sizing chart, paying close attention to chest, waist, hip, and height measurements. Wetsuits should fit snugly without restricting breathing or circulation. The RevoFit 3D pattern aims for an anatomical fit.

Can I wash my wetsuit in a washing machine?

No, you should never wash your wetsuit in a washing machine or dry it in a tumble dryer. Always rinse with fresh water and dry naturally away from direct heat and sunlight.

What is the difference between Pinstripe External (Upper) and X-Flex External (Lower)?

Pinstripe External refers to the material used in the upper body, offering high stretch for movement. X-Flex External is used in the lower body, providing high-performance flexibility where it's most crucial for surfing actions.

How durable are the Powertex4 knee pads?

Powertex4 knee pads are a reinforced material designed to provide extra durability and protection to the knee area, which is subject to wear and tear during surfing.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the Gul size chart. Natural rubber can feel snug initially but should offer flexibility once worn. If it's genuinely too tight, consider if a different size is needed.

Water flushing into the wetsuit.

Check that the chest zip is fully closed and the Pro Glideskin collar is snug. Ensure the S-Seal cuff and ankle seals are positioned correctly against your skin. Adjusting the fit around the neck and limbs can help.

Deterioration of the natural rubber.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, and harsh chemicals. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after use and dry in the shade. Store properly as per care instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Rinse the zipper area with fresh water to remove any salt or sand residue. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth and run the slider up and down several times.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a wetsuit, so setup involves simply putting it on. Ensure the zipper is fully engaged and the seals around the neck, wrists, and ankles are properly positioned for optimal water resistance. The key loop is accessible for attaching your key before entering the water.

Compatibility: The FLEXOR 43 YULEX is designed for surfing and other water sports requiring thermal protection and flexibility. It is compatible with standard wetsuit accessories.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, rinse the wetsuit inside and out with fresh, cool water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  3. Hand Wash (if necessary): If the suit requires more than rinsing, use a mild soap or wetsuit-specific shampoo in cool water. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.
  4. Drying: Hang the wetsuit on a wide, padded hanger or over a railing to dry. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the natural rubber. Ensure it dries completely before storing to prevent mildew.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing, which can damage the material. Hanging is the preferred method.
  6. Zipper Care: Rinse the zipper area well and occasionally apply a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
