FAQs
What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?
YULEX(r) is a natural rubber derived from sources certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r). It offers excellent flexibility and performance while significantly reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional neoprene.
How does the S-Lock Flush Barrier Back Zip Entry work?
The S-Lock system, combined with the PK stainless steel Blackout zipper, is designed to create a secure seal at the back entry, minimizing water flushing into the wetsuit while allowing for easy entry and exit.
Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?
The FLEXOR 32 YULEX STEAMER provides good thermal insulation for temperate to cool water. For very cold conditions, consider layering with additional accessories like wetsuit boots, gloves, and a hood.
How long does the wetsuit typically last?
With proper care and regular rinsing, the durable construction with blindstitched seams and reinforced knees should provide several seasons of use. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and harsh chemicals.
Can I machine wash or dry clean this wetsuit?
No, machine washing, tumble drying, or dry cleaning is not recommended. Always hand wash with fresh water and a mild wetsuit shampoo, and drip dry away from direct heat and sunlight.
What is the difference between blindstitched seams and G-Tape taping?
Blindstitched seams are stitched through the neoprene but not all the way, creating a nearly watertight seam. G-Tape internal taping is applied to critical seam junctions to further reinforce them, enhance durability, and prevent water entry.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have the correct size. Natural rubber can take a few uses to fully break in and conform to your body shape. Make sure the back zip is fully closed and the collar is comfortable.
Water flushing into the wetsuit
Check that the S-Seal cuffs and ankles are snug. Ensure the Pro GlideSkin collar is properly sealed against your neck. Verify the back zip is fully closed and the flush barrier is engaged.
Material feels stiff after drying
This can sometimes happen with natural rubber if not dried correctly. Ensure the wetsuit is fully dry and stored away from direct sunlight. Avoid harsh chemicals during washing.
Seams feel uncomfortable or are causing irritation
The G-Tape internal taping is designed for durability but can feel unusual initially. Ensure the wetsuit fits correctly, as a poor fit can exacerbate seam pressure. Wear for short periods initially to allow your skin to adapt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

This wetsuit is designed for watersports such as surfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking in temperate to cool conditions.
It is compatible with standard wetsuit accessories like boots, gloves, and hoods for colder water immersion.
Care:
Rinse: Always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
Washing: Hand wash occasionally with a mild wetsuit shampoo. Do not use harsh detergents or machine wash.
