FAQs
What does 3/2mm mean?
It refers to the thickness of the neoprene in millimeters. The 3mm is used in the core area for extra warmth, and 2mm is used in the limbs for increased flexibility.
Is this wetsuit waterproof?
No, flatlock stitched wetsuits are not 100% waterproof. They are designed to let a small amount of water in, which your body then warms up to provide insulation.
How should the wetsuit fit?
It should fit like a second skin. It should be snug, but not so tight that it restricts breathing or movement.
Can I use this in a swimming pool?
Yes, but be sure to rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to remove chlorine, which can degrade neoprene.
Does it have a back zip?
Yes, this model features a back zip entry system, which is generally easier to get in and out of compared to chest zip models.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the suit on
Ensure the suit is completely dry before putting it on; using plastic bags over feet and hands can help them slide through the leg and arm openings more easily.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Rinse the zipper area thoroughly to remove sand or salt crystals. Use a specialized wetsuit zipper lubricant if the stiffness persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gul wetsuit lasts as long as possible, follow these care steps:
- Rinse Thoroughly: After every use, rinse the suit inside and out with fresh, cold water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
- Drying: Hang the suit on a wide, plastic hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene over time.
- Storage: Store the suit flat or on a thick hanger to prevent creases. Do not fold the suit tightly for extended periods.
- Entry: Use the back zip system to step in, ensuring the neck seal sits flush against the skin for the best thermal performance.
