YULEX(r) is a natural rubber sourced from trees, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene. It provides similar flexibility and insulation properties but requires specific care to maintain its integrity and performance.
A 4/3mm wetsuit is generally suitable for water temperatures between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). However, individual tolerance to cold varies, and this can be adjusted with accessories like boots or gloves.
Ensure the Quadrate Chest Bib Zip is fully connected and sealed after entry. The smooth, secure fit of the Pro Glideskin Collar also plays a crucial role in preventing water entry.
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash only with cold fresh water and a mild wetsuit shampoo. Avoid all harsh detergents and bleach.
It's best to store the wetsuit hanging on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding it, as this can create permanent creases.
Blindstitching involves stitching that does not go all the way through the material. This minimizes water penetration, enhances durability, and maintains the suit's stretch.
Yes, the Powertex4 knee pads are reinforced to provide enhanced durability and protection in high-wear areas, which is beneficial during activities like paddling.
Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size and has been worn for a short period to allow the material to adapt to your body shape. Check that the zippers and seals are not overly tightened.
Verify that all zippers are fully closed and the chest bib is properly sealed. Ensure cuff and ankle seals are snug against the skin. If leakage persists, check for damage to the seams or seals.
This may indicate improper drying or storage. Ensure the wetsuit is rinsed thoroughly after each use and dried naturally away from heat and sunlight. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with fresh water and a soft brush. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for wetsuit zippers if needed. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Setup: The wetsuit is designed for direct use. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and secured upon wearing. The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip requires careful alignment to ensure a proper seal.
Compatibility: This wetsuit is intended for watersports such as surfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking in conditions where 4/3mm thickness is appropriate. It is designed to be worn directly against the skin.
