Its key benefit is offering excellent flexibility, warmth, and sustainability through its YULEX(r) natural rubber construction.

YULEX(r) is a plant-based rubber derived from sources certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r), offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene while providing similar warmth and flexibility.
The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry uses a unique panel and zip system designed for easy entry and exit. It minimizes flushing by creating a secure seal across the chest area.
The FLEXOR 32 YULEX CHEST ZIP GBS STEAMER is a 3/2mm thickness suit, typically suitable for moderate to cool water temperatures. For colder conditions, you might need a thicker wetsuit (e.g., 4/3mm or 5/4mm).
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and construction. Always hand wash with fresh water or a mild wetsuit shampoo.
With proper care, including thorough rinsing after each use and correct drying and storage, YULEX(r) material is designed for durability and longevity, similar to high-quality neoprene.
Blindstitching involves seams that are stitched 'halfway' through the material, then folded over so the needle doesn't fully penetrate both layers. This creates a watertight and highly flexible seam, minimizing water entry and maintaining stretch.
Ensure the wetsuit is fully dry. Natural rubber can feel stiffer when wet. If the issue persists after drying, it may require a break-in period with use.
Check that the Pro Glideskin Collar and S-Seal Cuff/Ankle Seals are positioned correctly and fitting snugly. Ensure no hair or debris is interfering with the seals. Re-adjust the fit or consider if the suit size is appropriate.
Ensure the fabric bib underneath the zipper is flat and not caught. Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and fresh water. A specialized zipper lubricant can be used sparingly if needed.
Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water. If the odor persists, wash with a wetsuit-specific shampoo and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
Setup:
This wetsuit requires no specific setup beyond donning it correctly. Ensure the chest zip bib is properly aligned and zipped up fully to maximize its sealing capabilities. The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry is designed for a snug fit; ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Compatibility:
The FLEXOR 32 YULEX CHEST ZIP GBS STEAMER is designed for surfing and other watersports where flexibility and warmth are paramount. It is compatible with various surfboards, paddleboards, and kiteboards. Its primary function is to provide thermal insulation and protection in water temperatures typically suited for a 3/2mm wetsuit.
