The Gul FLEXOR 54 YULEX CHEST ZIP STEAMER is a high-performance wetsuit specifically engineered for young ocean adventurers aged 7-8 who require superior warmth and flexibility for surfing or swimming. By utilizing sustainable YULEX natural rubber and an advanced thermal lining, this suit provides excellent insulation and freedom of movement; however, users should be aware that the chest zip entry requires a learning curve for younger children to master independently.

The 5/4mm thickness provides significant warmth suitable for colder conditions, though it depends on the child's tolerance and local water temperatures.
Store the wetsuit on a wide, plastic wetsuit hanger in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
No, never machine wash or tumble dry the wetsuit, as this will damage the rubber and seam construction.
The 5mm rubber is used in the main torso and leg panels for maximum warmth, while 4mm rubber is used in the arms and shoulders for better flexibility.
No, YULEX is a plant-based, natural rubber alternative to neoprene that is processed to be hypoallergenic and eco-friendly.
Ensure the child is dry before changing, and try using a plastic bag over the feet and hands to help them slide through the leg and arm holes.
Check that the internal panel of the chest zip is folded correctly and lying flat against the chest before securing the outer zipper.
Rinse with fresh water to remove salt crystals which can build up and make the rubber feel rigid after drying.
To ensure the longevity of the YULEX material, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt and debris. Avoid using harsh detergents or hot water, as these can degrade the rubber compounds. Always dry the suit in the shade, as direct sunlight can cause the material to become brittle and lose its elasticity. When putting the suit on, ensure the child is as dry as possible to make the process smoother, and tuck the internal flap of the chest zip properly to ensure a complete, watertight seal before closing the zip.
