FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?

YULEX(r) is a plant-based rubber alternative to traditional neoprene. It is derived from sources certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r), making it a more sustainable option for wetsuits. It provides good warmth and flexibility.

How do I properly care for my YULEX(r) wetsuit?

Always rinse your wetsuit with cool, fresh water after every use. Dry it flat or on a hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight and do not use harsh chemicals or detergents. Store it loosely.

Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water?

The FLEXOR 54 features Thermospan thermal lining and uses natural rubber, which provides insulation. While suitable for moderate to cooler conditions, its performance in very cold water will depend on individual tolerance and the specific water temperature. Consider adding accessories like booties or gloves for colder conditions.

What is the benefit of the chest zip entry?

Chest zip entry systems, like the Quadrate Bib Zip, are designed to reduce flushing compared to back zip models. This means less cold water entering the suit, helping you stay warmer during your session.

How does the RevoFit 3D Pattern Technology improve performance?

RevoFit 3D Pattern Technology means the wetsuit is shaped anatomically to better fit the contours of the human body. This results in a closer, more comfortable fit, reducing drag and allowing for greater freedom of movement.

Are the Powertex4 Knee Pads durable?

Yes, Powertex4 is a durable fabric designed to reinforce the knee areas, providing protection against abrasion and wear from impacts and surfing maneuvers.

Can I machine wash this wetsuit?

No, you should never machine wash or dry your wetsuit. Machine washing can damage the delicate materials, seams, and seals. Always hand-wash by rinsing with fresh water.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should fit snugly but not impede circulation. Consult the sizing chart. Minor stiffness may reduce with use.

Water leakage at seams or zipper

Check that the chest zip is fully engaged and the bib flaps are properly aligned. Ensure all seals (cuffs, ankles, collar) are lying flat against the skin. Minor seepage can occur with extreme movement.

Natural rubber developing cracks or stiffness

This can occur with improper care. Ensure the wetsuit is always rinsed with fresh water after use and not dried in direct sunlight. Avoid storing it folded or creased.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Rinse the zipper area with fresh water to remove any grit. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for wetsuit zippers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Utilizes sustainable YULEX(r) natural rubber.
  • Advanced seam construction enhances durability and reduces water entry.
  • Designed for a close, anatomical fit for maximum flexibility.
  • Features effective thermal lining for warmth.
  • Includes reinforced knee pads for added protection.

Cons

  • Natural rubber may require specific care and may not be as stretchy as high-end neoprene.
  • Chest zip entry might be less convenient for some users compared to back zip.
  • External pinstripe panels might be less durable than solid panels in high-wear areas.
  • As with all wetsuits, fit is crucial; an improper fit can negate many benefits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. The chest zip should slide smoothly.
  2. Familiarize yourself with the Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry; pull the zip tab down and then secure the bib flaps.

Compatibility:

  • This wetsuit is designed for water sports, primarily surfing. Its features are optimized for performance in waves.

Care:

  • Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after each use to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
  • Avoid direct sunlight when drying; hang to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
  • Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  • Store the wetsuit loosely hung or rolled (not creased) in a cool, dry place.
  • Avoid contact with rough surfaces that could damage the natural rubber or seams.
