FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber derived from sources certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r), offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene while providing excellent performance characteristics.

How does the S-Lock Flush Barrier work?

The S-Lock Flush Barrier is integrated into the back zip system to create a seal that minimizes water entry when the zipper is closed, helping to keep you warmer and drier.

Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water?

The FLEXOR 32 YULEX STEAMER with its 3mm thickness, thermal linings, and true thickness foam is best suited for temperate to cool water conditions (approximately 15-20°C or 59-68°F). For colder waters, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers may be required.

Can I machine wash my wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand washing with a mild, wetsuit-specific cleaner and cool fresh water is the preferred method for cleaning.

How do I care for the YULEX(r) material?

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use, dry in the shade, and store flat or loosely hung. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and sharp objects.

What does '32' in the product name refer to?

In wetsuit terminology, '32' typically refers to the thickness of the neoprene or rubber material, indicating 3mm thickness in the main body and potentially slightly less in stretch zones.

What is the benefit of blindstitched seams?

Blindstitched seams are sewn so that the needle only penetrates one layer of material, creating a flatter, more water-resistant seam compared to traditional stitching. The G-Tape adds further reinforcement.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have the correct size. Try stretching the material gently. Natural rubber can adapt slightly with use.

Water leakage at seams or zipper

Check that the zipper is fully closed and the barrier is engaged. Ensure the G-Tape is intact. For minor leaks, consider a wetsuit seam sealant.

Material feels stiff after drying

Ensure the wetsuit was rinsed thoroughly with fresh water and dried out of direct sunlight. Re-conditioning with a wetsuit-specific product might help, but follow manufacturer guidelines.

Odors persist after washing

Use a specialized wetsuit shampoo designed to neutralize odors. Ensure thorough rinsing and drying. Store in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal performance. The S-Lock Flush Barrier Back Zip Entry allows for straightforward donning and doffing.

Compatibility: This wetsuit is designed for water sports such as surfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Its material composition is optimized for saltwater and freshwater environments.

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. Wash Sparingly: If necessary, wash by hand with a mild, wetsuit-specific shampoo. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
  3. Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the natural rubber and seams. Avoid hanging by the shoulders; use a wide hanger or lay flat.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit flat or loosely hung in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or creasing for extended periods.
  5. Avoid Sharp Objects: Be cautious around sharp objects that could snag or tear the material.
