FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber derived from trees, certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r). It's used as a more sustainable alternative to neoprene, offering comparable performance characteristics like flexibility and warmth.

How does the S-Lock Flush Barrier work?

The S-Lock Flush Barrier is a design feature around the back zip entry that, combined with the PK stainless steel zipper and the Pro GlideSkin collar, creates a seal to minimize water entry into the wetsuit, keeping you warmer and more comfortable.

Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water surfing?

The FLEXOR 32 YULEX wetsuit provides significant warmth with its ThermoSpan and Micro2Flex linings. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to pair it with additional accessories like wetsuit boots, gloves, and a hood.

How do I know if the size 12 fits correctly?

A correct fit means the wetsuit is snug all over without restricting breathing or circulation. There should be no large baggy areas. The collar, cuffs, and ankles should feel comfortably tight against the skin to prevent water flushing.

Can I machine wash this wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Always rinse the wetsuit with fresh, cool water after each use. If a deeper clean is needed, use a basin with cool water and a wetsuit-specific shampoo, then rinse thoroughly.

What is the difference between blindstitched seams and glued-and-blindstitched seams?

Blindstitched seams involve stitching that goes 3/4 of the way through the neoprene, creating a strong seam that is also flexible. The G-Tape internal taping adds an extra layer of reinforcement and water resistance at critical stress points.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry. Using a small amount of water or a wetsuit lubricant on your skin can help. Pull the material up gently, avoiding fingernails. Check that there are no twists in the legs or arms.

Water flushing into the wetsuit.

Ensure the back zip is fully closed and the S-Lock barrier is engaged. Check that the Pro GlideSkin collar and S-Seal cuffs/ankles are snug against your skin. If flushing persists, inspect for any tears or damage around these areas.

Reduced flexibility or stiffness over time.

This can be due to improper rinsing or drying. Ensure you rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every use and dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing in damp conditions. Consider using a wetsuit conditioner specifically designed for natural rubber.

Seams appear to be separating.

Inspect the G-Tape internal taping at critical points. If minor separation occurs, a wetsuit repair adhesive might offer a temporary fix. For significant seam damage, professional repair may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-conscious material choice with certified natural rubber.
  • Excellent flexibility and unrestricted movement due to RevoFit technology.
  • Enhanced warmth and thermal comfort for extended water sessions.
  • Durable construction with reinforced seams and knee pads.
  • Secure and comfortable fit with minimized water flushing.

Cons

  • Natural rubber requires specific care to maintain longevity.
  • May not be suitable for extremely cold water temperatures without additional thermal layers.
  • Blindstitched seams, while durable, may offer slightly less watertightness than fully taped seams in extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Donning: Lay the wetsuit flat. Step into the leg openings one at a time, carefully pulling the material up towards your waist. Avoid using fingernails, which can puncture the rubber. Once the legs are in place, pull the torso section up, ensuring it is smooth and free of wrinkles. Finally, insert your arms into the sleeves and pull them up to your shoulders. Secure the back zip by pulling the cord upwards.
  2. Fit Check: Ensure the wetsuit fits snugly without restricting breathing. The collar should sit comfortably around your neck, and the cuffs and ankles should be snug to minimize flushing.

Compatibility:

This wetsuit is designed for water sports such as surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and kitesurfing. It is compatible with standard wetsuit accessories like boots, gloves, and hoods for added warmth in colder conditions.

Care:

  • Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cool water, both inside and out. This removes salt, sand, and chlorine, which can degrade the material.
  • Washing: Occasionally, wash the wetsuit in a basin of cool, fresh water with a mild, wetsuit-specific shampoo. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
  • Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Avoid hanging it by the shoulders or in a way that stretches the rubber. Drying inside out first, then outside, can help.
  • Storage: Store the wetsuit loosely folded or ideally hanging on a wide, padded hanger. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or pressure points, which can cause permanent creases or damage.
