This wetsuit is designed for conscious surfers seeking peak performance, flexibility, and warmth. Its key benefit is the use of eco-conscious YULEX(r) natural rubber, offering a sustainable alternative without compromising on agility and protection. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit and feel of natural rubber compared to traditional neoprene. The Gul FLEXOR features advanced seam construction, thermal lining, and reinforced knee pads, ensuring comfort and durability from paddle-out to the last wave.

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber made from responsibly managed forests, certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r). It's a more sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene, offering good flexibility and insulation.
The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry is designed to be streamlined and easy to use. It provides a secure closure that minimizes water flushing while allowing for flexible movement across the chest area.
The FLEXOR 32 YULEX, with its 3mm thickness (implied by '32' designation), Thermospan lining, and water-minimizing construction, is designed for performance in temperate to cool water conditions. For very cold water, a thicker wetsuit or additional layers might be necessary.
Refer to the Gul sizing chart for accurate measurements. Wetsuits should fit snugly without restricting breathing or circulation. It's often best to try on different sizes if possible.
Pinstripe External panels are located on the upper body and are designed for high stretch and unrestricted movement. X-Flex External panels are used on the lower body, prioritizing high-performance flexibility where it's most needed for surfing.
No, you should never machine wash or dry your wetsuit. Always rinse with fresh water and dry flat in the shade as per the care instructions to maintain the integrity of the materials.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try on the wetsuit before purchase if possible. Natural rubber can sometimes feel different initially and may loosen slightly with use. Ensure all zips and seals are correctly positioned.
Check that the chest zip is fully closed and sealed. Ensure the Pro Glideskin Collar and S-Seal Cuff & Ankle Seals are snug against the skin. Inspect seams and material for any damage that might compromise water resistance.
This can sometimes occur with natural rubber. Ensure the suit is being dried correctly, out of direct sunlight. Avoid harsh detergents. A specific wetsuit shampoo can sometimes help restore flexibility, but always follow manufacturer recommendations.
Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. A small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers can help improve function. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Setup: This wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure the chest zip is properly aligned and fully closed for optimal water sealing. The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry should lay flat against the body.
Compatibility: The FLEXOR 32 YULEX is designed for watersports such as surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. It is compatible with standard wetsuit accessories.
Care: To ensure the longevity of your wetsuit:
