This wetsuit is designed for conscious surfers who prioritize peak performance, flexibility, and warmth. Its key benefit is offering uncompromising performance with an eco-conscious construction using YULEX(r) natural rubber. A potential caveat is that the performance characteristics of natural rubber may differ slightly from traditional neoprene for some users. The Gul FLEXOR features advanced seam construction, sustainable materials, and ergonomic design to ensure a comfortable and agile experience in the water.

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber derived from trees, certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r). It's a sustainable alternative to neoprene, offering similar performance characteristics in terms of flexibility and insulation.
The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry system involves a zipper positioned on the chest panel. This design aims to reduce flushing by creating a more sealed entry point compared to traditional back zips.
The FLEXOR 43 BS YULEX wetsuit offers good insulation with its natural rubber, Thermospan lining, and sealed seams, making it suitable for cool to cold waters. For extreme cold, consider layering with a hood, boots, and gloves.
It is recommended to rinse your wetsuit with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt and sand, which can degrade the material over time.
No, machine washing or drying will damage the wetsuit. Always hand wash with a mild cleaner and air dry in the shade.
'True Thickness Foam' indicates that the wetsuit is manufactured to the stated thickness without using filler materials, ensuring reliable insulation.
A key loop is typically located on the inside or a discreet external point of the wetsuit, providing a secure place to store a car key or locker key.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or circulation. The YULEX material may require a few uses to fully break in and conform to your body.
Check that the seals (collar, cuffs, ankles) are sitting flush against your skin. Ensure the chest zip is fully closed. The blindstitched seams are designed to minimize entry, but a perfect seal is crucial. Re-evaluate sizing if leakage persists.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth if it feels stiff.
This can sometimes happen with natural rubber. Ensure the wetsuit is fully rinsed with fresh water and dried naturally, away from direct heat. Avoid harsh detergents.
Setup:
This wetsuit is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. The chest zip entry is designed for easy donning and doffing once you are familiar with the system.
