FAQs

What age range is the 7-8 size suitable for?

The 7-8 size is typically designed for children around that age, but it's best to consult the brand's specific size chart and measure the child for the most accurate fit, as children's body shapes can vary.

How warm is this wetsuit?

The wetsuit provides reliable warmth for chilly water thanks to its True Thickness foam and natural rubber construction. It's suitable for general watersports but may not be sufficient for very cold conditions requiring thicker neoprene.

Can this wetsuit be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the neoprene and seams. Always hand wash with fresh water and a mild soap if necessary.

Is the natural rubber used in this wetsuit ethically sourced?

The wetsuit uses eco-conscious NatuR(r) BEYOND natural rubber, indicating a focus on sustainable and planet-friendly sourcing practices.

What is the main benefit of the X-Flex upper material?

The 150% stretch X-Flex upper material provides exceptional flexibility, making it easier for young users to paddle, swim, and move their arms freely without restriction.

How durable are the knee pads?

The PowerTex4 knee pads are designed to offer protection against wear and tear, specifically intended to withstand impacts and abrasions from wipeouts or contact with surfaces like surfboards and the seabed.

What does 'Flatlock' in the product name refer to?

Flatlock stitching refers to a construction method where seams are stitched flat against the fabric, reducing bulk and potential for chafing, thereby increasing comfort.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the inside is completely dry. Try putting on a thin base layer or rash vest to help it glide on. Make sure the zip is fully open before starting and that there are no twists in the fabric.

Chafing around the neck or arms.

Check the fit of the Pro GlideSkin collar; it should be snug but not tight. Ensure the inner linings are smooth and free of debris. Using a thin rash vest underneath can also help prevent irritation.

Reduced warmth or flexibility over time.

Ensure the wetsuit is properly rinsed and dried after each use. Avoid exposing it to prolonged direct sunlight or harsh chemicals, which can degrade the neoprene. Check for any small tears or damage that might affect insulation.

Zipper is stiff or corroded.

Rinse the zipper thoroughly with fresh water after use. Apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant or wax to the teeth to help it slide smoothly. Ensure the PK stainless steel zipper is completely dry before storage.

Pros and Cons

  • Designed for durability with reinforced lower panels and knee pads.

Cons

  • Sizing may need careful verification to ensure an accurate fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Gul RESPONSE 32 JUNIOR wetsuit features a straightforward back-zip entry system. To put it on, lay the wetsuit flat, step into the leg openings one at a time, and pull it up smoothly. Once the legs and torso are in place, bring the suit up around your shoulders and arms, then reach back to grasp the PK stainless steel zipper pull and slide it upwards to close the suit. The Pro GlideSkin collar should sit comfortably around the neck with minimal gapping.

Compatibility: This wetsuit is designed for general watersports such as surfing, swimming, bodyboarding, and general beach play in temperate to cool water conditions. It is compatible with other watersports gear like rash vests, board shorts, and wetsuit boots if additional warmth or protection is needed.

Care: To maintain the integrity and lifespan of your wetsuit:

  1. Rinse: After each use, thoroughly rinse the wetsuit inside and out with fresh, cold water. This removes salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Wash: If a deeper clean is needed, hand wash the wetsuit using a mild, non-detergent soap specifically designed for neoprene. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or machine washing.
  3. Dry: Hang the wetsuit to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can degrade the neoprene and fade the color. Do not use a tumble dryer or direct heat sources.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit loosely folded or, ideally, hung on a wide, padded hanger to prevent creases and preserve its shape. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
