FAQs

What makes this wetsuit 'eco-conscious'?

The wetsuit is made from YULEX(r) FSC(r) & PEFC(r) certified natural rubber, which is a more sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based neoprene.

How does the YULEX(r) material perform compared to neoprene?

YULEX(r) offers excellent flexibility and warmth, comparable to high-quality neoprene, while providing a reduced environmental footprint. It may feel slightly different in terms of elasticity initially but offers durable performance.

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

G-Tape is applied to critical seam points internally to provide extra strength and durability, preventing seams from splitting or stretching excessively under stress.

How do I ensure the best fit for my wetsuit?

Refer to the Gul sizing chart and measure yourself accurately. The wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin without restricting breathing or significant movement. Pay attention to the shoulder, chest, and inseam measurements.

Can this wetsuit be used in very cold water?

The 32 YULEX designation indicates a 3mm thickness with 2mm panels. Combined with the thermal linings, it's suitable for cool to moderately cold water. For extremely cold conditions, layering or a thicker wetsuit may be necessary.

What is the S-Lock Flush Barrier Back Zip Entry?

This is a specific zipper system designed for easy entry and exit while creating a strong barrier against water flushing into the suit from the back zip area. It uses a PK stainless steel waterproof zipper.

How often should I use wetsuit-specific cleaner?

Wetsuit-specific cleaners are generally recommended for periodic deep cleaning (e.g., every few months or if the suit develops an odor). Regular rinsing with fresh water after each use is the most important maintenance step.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided size chart. Natural rubber wetsuits can feel snugger initially. Try wearing it for a short period in warm water to allow it to adapt to your body shape. If still uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size.

Water flushing occurs at the neck or cuffs.

Check that the Pro GlideSkin collar and S-Seal cuffs are properly positioned and creating a seal against your skin. Ensure the back zip is fully closed and the flap is tucked in correctly. A proper fit is crucial to minimize flushing.

Seams are separating or G-Tape is peeling.

Inspect the seams for any signs of damage. Minor peeling of the G-Tape can sometimes be addressed with a wetsuit repair adhesive. For significant separation, contact customer support.

Material feels stiff or less flexible after use.

This can sometimes occur if the wetsuit is not rinsed properly after saltwater exposure or if dried in direct sunlight. Always rinse with fresh water and dry in the shade. If stiffness persists, a specialized wetsuit conditioner might help, but follow product instructions carefully.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally conscious material choice with YULEX(r) natural rubber.
  • Durable construction with taped seams and reinforced knees.
  • Effective thermal insulation for warmth in cooler waters.
  • Designed for unrestricted movement with an ergonomic fit.
  • Secure and comfortable closure system to minimize flushing.

Cons

  • Natural rubber may require specific care to maintain its properties.
  • Sizing is crucial for optimal performance and comfort; incorrect fit can lead to flushing.
  • While sustainable, it may not offer the same extreme stretch as some petroleum-based neoprene alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. The S-Lock Flush Barrier Back Zip Entry system should be operated carefully to avoid snagging the zipper.

Compatibility:

While primarily designed for surfing, this wetsuit is suitable for various watersports including:

  • Stand-up paddleboarding
  • Kayaking
  • Windsurfing
  • Kitesurfing

Care Instructions:

To ensure the longevity and performance of your YULEX(r) wetsuit, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cool water, both inside and out. This removes salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Wash Gently: Occasionally, wash with a mild, non-detergent soap specifically designed for neoprene or wetsuits. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  3. Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry or iron.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit loosely folded or hung on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or in plastic bags for extended periods.
  5. Avoid Sharp Objects: Be cautious around sharp objects and abrasive surfaces that could damage the material.
