Product Information

Full details

This Gul FLEXOR 32 YULEX BS STEAMER is engineered for conscious surfers seeking peak performance, flexibility, and warmth. Its primary benefit is the use of eco-friendly YULEX® natural rubber, offering a sustainable alternative without compromising on agility and protection. A potential caveat for some users may be the specific fit and feel of natural rubber compared to traditional neoprene.

FAQs

What is YULEX® natural rubber?

YULEX® is a sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene, derived from FSC® and PEFC® certified rubber trees. It offers similar performance characteristics while reducing environmental impact.

How does the blindstitched seam construction work?

Blindstitching involves sewing stitches through only one layer of neoprene, leaving the thread covered by the other layer. This minimizes water entry and increases durability while maintaining flexibility.

What is the intended water temperature range for this wetsuit?

With its 3/2mm thickness and thermal lining, this wetsuit is generally suitable for moderate to cooler water conditions, typically ranging from 13°C to 20°C (55°F to 68°F), depending on individual tolerance.

Can I machine wash or dry this wetsuit?

No, machine washing or drying is not recommended as it can damage the material and seals. Always follow the hand-wash and air-dry instructions.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin without restricting movement or breathing. Refer to the brand's specific size chart and try it on, checking for a good seal at the neck, wrists, and ankles.

What is the benefit of the Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry?

This entry system provides easy access to put on and take off the wetsuit. The bib design helps to reduce water flushing into the suit from the chest area.

How should I store the wetsuit when not in use?

Store the wetsuit hanging on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid folding it tightly to prevent permanent creases.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should fit snugly, but not impede breathing or circulation. Consult the sizing chart and consider if the fit is due to natural rubber's properties.

Slight water entry at seams or seals

Check that all seals (collar, cuffs, ankles) are properly positioned against the skin. Ensure the chest zip is fully closed and secured. For minor seam entry, a temporary fix may involve applying a thin bead of wetsuit seam sealer once dry.

Material stiffness after use

This can sometimes occur with natural rubber. Ensure the wetsuit is properly rinsed and dried according to care instructions. Occasional use of a wetsuit conditioner designed for natural rubber can help maintain flexibility.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure there is no sand or debris in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If resistance persists, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant designed for zippers can be applied.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-friendly material (YULEX® natural rubber)
  • Excellent flexibility and range of motion
  • Effective warmth retention
  • Durable construction with reinforced knees
  • Secure seals to minimize water entry

Cons

  • Natural rubber may have a different feel than neoprene

  • Specific zipper mechanism might require adjustment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This wetsuit is designed for direct use. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry should be carefully operated to avoid snagging.

Compatibility: The FLEXOR 32 YULEX BS STEAMER is compatible with various watersports, including surfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking in cooler conditions. It is designed to be worn as a single layer.

Care:

  1. Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use, both inside and out.
  2. Do not use detergents, solvents, or bleach. Mild wetsuit shampoo can be used sparingly if necessary.
  3. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources when drying. Hang the wetsuit on a wide, padded hanger away from direct heat and sunlight.
  4. Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry before storing. Store in a cool, dry place, avoiding creasing or folding tightly.
  5. Handle zippers with care to prevent damage.
