Product Information

Full details

This Gul FLEXOR 54 YULEX CHEST ZIP BS STEAMER is designed for conscious surfers seeking peak performance, flexibility, and warmth with an eco-friendly approach. Its primary benefit is the use of sustainable YULEX® natural rubber, offering a high-performance alternative to traditional neoprene without compromising on agility or protection. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit tailored for second-skin feel, which requires accurate sizing.

FAQs

What is YULEX® natural rubber?

YULEX® is a plant-based alternative to neoprene made from responsibly managed forests (FSC® & PEFC™ certified). It offers excellent insulation, flexibility, and is more sustainable than traditional petroleum-based neoprene.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the specific sizing chart provided by Gul. Measure your chest, waist, hips, and inseam. The RevoFit 3D Pattern Technology is designed for a second-skin fit, so precise measurements are important for optimal comfort and performance.

Can I use this wetsuit in saltwater and chlorine?

While primarily designed for saltwater surfing, the wetsuit can be used in chlorinated pools. However, it is crucial to rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after exposure to chlorine to prevent material degradation.

How does the chest zip entry work?

The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry uses a low-profile zipper and a bib system to provide easy entry while minimizing water flushing, helping you stay warmer during your session.

What is the difference between Pinstripe External and X-Flex External panels?

Pinstripe External panels are typically used on the upper body for high stretch and comfort, often featuring a stylish design. X-Flex External panels are used on the lower body (legs) where maximum flexibility is needed for performance.

How long will the Powertex4 knee pads last?

Powertex4 knee pads are reinforced for durability. However, like all wetsuit components, their lifespan depends on usage frequency, care, and the intensity of the activities performed. Regular rinsing and proper drying will help maintain their integrity.

Is there a warranty on this wetsuit?

Please refer to the retailer or Gul's official website for specific warranty information. Wetsuit warranties typically cover manufacturing defects and may have limitations on wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements and the RevoFit 3D Pattern Technology. Try moving in different positions to assess flexibility. Natural rubber can take a short time to 'break in'.

Slight water flushing at the neck or cuffs

Adjust the Pro Glideskin Collar for a snugger fit. Ensure the S-Seal Cuff & Ankle Seals are positioned correctly and are not obstructed by hair or rash guards. Re-zipping the chest bib may also help.

Material feels stiff after drying

This can occur if the suit was not rinsed properly or dried in direct sunlight. Always rinse with fresh water and dry in the shade. Applying a wetsuit conditioner specifically designed for natural rubber can help restore flexibility.

Seams appear to be separating

Check if the G-Tape Internal Taping in critical zones is intact. For minor issues, professional seam repair or appropriate wetsuit adhesive may be considered. Avoid stretching seams excessively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Utilizes sustainable YULEX® natural rubber for an eco-conscious choice.
  • Offers excellent flexibility and a comfortable, second-skin fit.
  • Advanced seam construction and seals minimize water entry for improved warmth.
  • Durable construction with reinforced knee pads for longevity.
  • Designed for peak performance in various surfing conditions.

Cons

  • Fit may require precise measurement due to the second-skin design.
  • Natural rubber may require specific care to maintain its properties.
  • External pinstripe panels might be less durable than full X-Flex lower sections in high-abrasion scenarios.
  • The chest zip entry, while streamlined, can be a personal preference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry should be carefully zipped up using the PK [*]8 Low Profile Stainless Steel Zipper, ensuring the flap lies flat to minimize flushing.

Compatibility:

This wetsuit is compatible with various water sports, including surfing, kayaking, and paddleboarding, where flexibility and warmth are essential. It is designed to be worn directly against the skin.

Care Instructions:

  • Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
  • Do not use detergents or fabric softeners, as they can damage the material.
  • Hang to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can degrade the natural rubber and other materials.
  • Store loosely folded or hung on a padded hanger. Avoid creasing the suit.
  • For minor repairs to seams, G-Tape can be applied as per manufacturer guidelines.
