FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber and why is it used?

YULEX(r) is a plant-based rubber alternative to neoprene, derived from sources that are FSC(r) and PEFC(r) certified. It's used for its sustainability, flexibility, and warmth properties, offering an eco-conscious option for surfers.

How does the chest zip entry system work?

The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry system uses a specific zipper placement and bib design to allow for easy entry while minimizing water flushing into the suit, keeping you warmer.

What temperature range is this 3/2mm wetsuit suitable for?

A 3/2mm wetsuit like this is generally suitable for water temperatures between 10°C and 18°C (50°F and 64°F), depending on individual cold tolerance and conditions.

How do I ensure the best fit for my wetsuit?

A proper fit should be snug without restricting breathing or movement. The wetsuit should feel like a second skin. There should be no significant baggy areas, especially around the torso, arms, and legs. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for precise measurements.

Can I machine wash or dry my wetsuit?

No, machine washing or drying is not recommended. The harshness of washing machines and dryers can damage the YULEX(r) material, seals, and seams. Always follow the hand wash and air dry care instructions.

What is the purpose of the G-Tape internal taping?

G-Tape is applied to critical seam areas internally to enhance their strength and water resistance, ensuring greater durability and preventing leaks.

Does this wetsuit come with a key loop?

Yes, the Gul FLEXOR 32 YULEX CHEST ZIP GBS STEAMER includes a small, integrated key loop for securely storing your car or locker key while surfing.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels stiff or less flexible over time.

Ensure the wetsuit is thoroughly rinsed after every use. Avoid drying in direct sunlight. If stiffness persists, consider using a specialized wetsuit conditioner designed for natural rubber materials.

Water flushing through the chest zip.

Ensure the chest bib is properly aligned and secured before zipping. Check that the zipper is fully closed. If the issue persists, inspect the zipper and surrounding seals for any damage or debris.

Seams appear to be separating.

Inspect the G-Tape internal taping in critical zones. Minor fraying can sometimes occur, but significant separation may indicate a need for repair. Contact the manufacturer for warranty information or professional repair services.

Skin irritation after wearing the wetsuit.

Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly after each use. Ensure the internal lining is clean and dry. If irritation continues, it might be a reaction to the material or a fit issue. Try wearing a rash guard underneath.

Cons

  • YULEX(r) material may require specific care instructions to maintain optimal performance and longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. The chest zip entry allows for relatively easy donning and doffing. Familiarize yourself with the zip operation to ensure smooth closure.

Compatibility:

This wetsuit is suitable for a range of watersports including surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and bodyboarding. It is designed for temperate to cool water conditions.

Care Instructions:

  • Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly inside and out with fresh, cool water to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
  • Hand Wash: If necessary, hand wash with a mild, non-detergent-based wetsuit shampoo in cool water. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Hang the wetsuit on a wide, padded hanger or wetsuit rack to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the YULEX(r) material and cause fading. Do not tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store the wetsuit flat or hanging on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or creasing for extended periods.
  • YULEX(r) Specifics: While durable, YULEX(r) can be sensitive to excessive heat and harsh chemicals. Follow care instructions diligently to preserve its natural rubber properties.
