FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber alternative derived from sources certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r), offering a more sustainable option compared to traditional neoprene. It provides similar performance characteristics in terms of flexibility and insulation.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Gul sizing chart provided with the product listing. Accurate measurements of your chest, waist, hips, and inseam are recommended for the best fit. The wetsuit should feel snug like a second skin without restricting breathing.

Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water?

The FLEXOR 32 YULEX features 3/2mm thickness and includes thermal linings, making it suitable for moderate to cool water conditions. For very cold water, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers may be necessary.

Can I wash my wetsuit in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Always hand wash your wetsuit with fresh water and a mild soap to preserve the integrity of the materials and seams.

What is the 'S-Lock Flush Barrier'?

The S-Lock Flush Barrier is a design feature that works in conjunction with the back zip to create a seal that minimizes water entry, keeping you warmer and more comfortable in the water.

How long will the natural rubber last?

With proper care and maintenance, including regular rinsing and correct drying and storage, the YULEX(r) natural rubber can maintain its performance properties for several seasons. Avoid prolonged exposure to UV light and heat.

What does 'Blindstitched seams' mean?

Blindstitched seams are constructed by stitching through only one layer of neoprene before the seam is flattened. This creates a highly water-resistant and durable seam that is also flexible.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels stiff or loses flexibility

Ensure the wetsuit is properly rinsed after each use and dried away from direct heat. Natural rubber can stiffen if exposed to excessive heat or salt buildup. Consider using a wetsuit-specific conditioner if recommended by the manufacturer for natural rubber.

Water leakage around the neck or cuffs

Check that the Pro GlideSkin collar and S-Seal cuffs/ankles are properly positioned against the skin. Ensure there are no obstructions like hair or sand. Re-adjust the fit if necessary.

Difficulty zipping the back entry

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat and clear of obstructions. If the zipper feels stuck, apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the teeth. Do not force the zipper.

Seams appear to be separating

Inspect the G-Tape internal taping at critical points. If minor separation is observed, a wetsuit repair adhesive might offer a temporary fix. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.

  • Environmentally conscious materials (YULEX(r) natural rubber)

  • Effective thermal insulation for warmth in colder conditions
  • Ergonomic design for maximum flexibility and comfort
  • Reduced water flushing with advanced sealing features

Cons

  • Natural rubber may require specific care instructions
  • Back zip entry can sometimes be more challenging to manage alone

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The wetsuit is designed for straightforward use. Ensure the back zip is fully unzipped before attempting to put it on. Enter one leg at a time, pulling the suit up smoothly to avoid snagging. Once both legs are in, slide your arms into the sleeves and pull the suit up over your torso. Secure the back zip by pulling the cord, and ensure the S-Lock system is engaged for a snug fit.

Compatibility:

This wetsuit is compatible with all types of surfboards, paddleboards, and other watersports equipment. Its flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of activities including surfing, kayaking, and bodyboarding.

Care Instructions:

  • Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water, both inside and out. This removes salt, sand, and chlorine.
  • Hand Wash Only: If a deeper clean is needed, hand wash gently with a mild, wetsuit-specific soap. Do not use detergents or bleach.
  • Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid wringing or stretching the material. Dry it inside out first, then turn it right-side out to complete drying.
  • Storage: Store the wetsuit hanging on a wide, padded hanger or folded loosely to avoid creases and damage to the natural rubber. Keep in a cool, dry place.
