FAQs

What does the '43' in the product name mean?

The '43' denotes the thickness of the neoprene: 4mm in the core for warmth and 3mm in the extremities for flexibility.

Is the Yulex material as durable as standard neoprene?

Yes, Yulex FSC-certified natural rubber is engineered to provide similar flexibility and durability while being significantly more environmentally sustainable.

How should I store my wetsuit for the off-season?

Store it clean and dry in a cool, dark place, laying it flat or hanging it on a wide wetsuit hanger to prevent creases.

Can I use this wetsuit in a swimming pool?

While technically possible, the chlorine in swimming pools will degrade the rubber and lining material much faster than salt water.

What is the best way to get out of the suit?

Unzip the back, pull the shoulders down, and peel the suit inside-out; be careful not to stretch the neck opening excessively.

Are the seams waterproof?

The seams are blindstitched and reinforced with G-Tape, which provides a high degree of water resistance, though they are not 100% dry-suit sealed.

Troubleshooting

Water flushing into the suit

Ensure the S-Lock barrier is pulled firmly over the head before zipping and check that the neck collar is lying flat against the skin.

Zipper feels stiff or stuck

Rinse the zipper tracks thoroughly to remove salt crystals or sand, then apply a dedicated zipper wax or lubricant.

Suit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you are using the correct size; wetsuits should feel snug but not restrict your ability to take a full breath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sustainable construction using certified natural rubber
  • Excellent thermal regulation with ThermoSpan lining
  • High-durability G-Tape reinforced seams
  • Ergonomic 3D fit enhances paddling mobility
  • Effective waterproof zipper and flushing barrier

Cons

  • Specific sizing requires precise body measurements
  • Back-zip entry can be slightly harder to reach than chest-zip models
  • Natural rubber requires proper drying care to maintain integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gul Flexor wetsuit, follow these care steps:

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: After every session, rinse the suit inside and out with fresh, cold water to remove salt and grit.
  2. Drying: Air dry the suit in the shade, away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the natural rubber components.
  3. Storage: Hang the suit on a wide-shoulder wetsuit hanger to maintain the shape of the neoprene; never use thin wire hangers.
  4. Zipper Care: Keep the PK stainless steel zipper clean of sand and apply a zip lubricant periodically to ensure smooth performance.
  5. Donning: Avoid using sharp fingernails when pulling the suit on to prevent tears in the delicate lining.
