The Gul FLEXOR 43 YULEX BLINDSTITCHED FULL WETSUIT is designed for surfers seeking a sustainable, high-performance wetsuit that doesn't compromise on warmth or flexibility. Its key benefit lies in its eco-conscious construction using natural rubber, offering excellent thermal comfort and durability for extended water sessions. A potential caveat is the break-in period often associated with natural rubber materials, requiring a few uses to achieve maximum flexibility.

The wetsuit is constructed using YULEX(r) natural rubber, which is FSC(r) and PEFC(r) certified. This means the rubber is sourced from sustainably managed forests, reducing reliance on petroleum-based neoprene and lowering its environmental footprint.
The '43' in the name refers to its suitability for water temperatures around 43°F (6°C). It features True Thickness Foam, ThermoSpan thermal lining, and Micro2Flex internal lining to provide significant warmth.
Blindstitched seams are stitched through the neoprene but not all the way through the panel, then sealed with tape on the inside (G-Tape). This method provides a high level of water resistance and durability, often found in higher-performance wetsuits. Flatlock seams are stitched all the way through both panels and are typically more flexible but less waterproof.
Refer to the Gul size chart provided by the retailer. Accurate measurements of your chest, waist, hips, and inseam are essential. A snug fit is critical for a wetsuit's performance.
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the delicate materials and seals. Always hand wash with fresh water and a mild, wetsuit-specific cleaner.
With proper care and regular maintenance, a high-quality wetsuit like this can last several seasons. Factors like frequency of use, exposure to harsh elements, and storage conditions will influence its longevity.
PK stainless steel zippers are designed for marine environments and are highly resistant to corrosion. However, rinsing the wetsuit thoroughly after each use will help maintain the zipper's functionality and longevity.
Ensure the suit is completely dry. Try using a plastic bag on your feet and hands to help them slide through the material more easily. Check that the inner linings are not bunched up.
Ensure the back zip is fully closed and the Pro GlideSkin collar is securely fastened. Check that the S-Seal cuffs and ankles are snug against your skin. Make sure the size is correct; a wetsuit that is too loose will allow more flushing.
Natural rubber wetsuits often require a break-in period. Wear the wetsuit for a few sessions to allow the material to soften and adapt to your body's movements.
For small leaks or seam separation, consider using a specialized wetsuit repair adhesive or seam sealer. Consult a professional for larger damages.
