Product Information

Full details

This Gul FLEXOR 32 YULEX BS STEAMER is designed for conscious surfers prioritizing flexibility, warmth, and sustainability without compromising performance.

FAQs

What is YULEX® natural rubber and why is it used?

YULEX® is a sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene, derived from FSC® and PEFC® certified natural rubber. It offers excellent flexibility, warmth, and is a more environmentally conscious choice for wetsuit construction.

How does the 3/2 thickness rating translate to water temperature?

A 3/2mm wetsuit typically provides adequate warmth for water temperatures ranging from 16-21°C (60-70°F). The Thermospan lining enhances warmth, potentially extending its use in slightly cooler conditions.

Is this wetsuit suitable for beginners?

Yes, the focus on flexibility, warmth, and ease of use makes it suitable for surfers of all levels. The durable construction and protective features are beneficial for all users.

How do I clean my FLEXOR wetsuit?

Rinse with fresh, cool water after every use. Hand wash gently with a mild wetsuit shampoo if needed. Avoid machine washing, harsh detergents, and direct sunlight when drying.

What is the purpose of the G-Tape Internal Taping?

G-Tape is applied to critical zones internally to reinforce seam strength and improve water resistance, contributing to the overall durability and warmth of the wetsuit.

Can I machine dry my wetsuit?

No, machine drying is not recommended. High heat can damage the natural rubber and seals. Always air dry away from direct sunlight and heat.

What does 'BS Steamer' mean?

BS typically refers to 'Back Zip' or 'Blindstitched Seam'. In this case, it denotes the Blindstitched Seam construction and likely a chest or back zip entry system for ease of use.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try adjusting the suit to utilize the RevoFit 3D pattern for a better fit. Some initial stiffness is normal with natural rubber; wear it in water to improve flexibility.

Water flushing through the zipper area.

Check that the PK [*]8 zipper is fully closed and the chest bib is properly secured. Ensure the Pro Glideskin collar is snug against the neck.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Inspect the blindstitched seams and G-Tape internal taping for any damage. Minor leaks might be temporary as the suit settles; significant leaks may require professional repair.

Natural rubber developing cracks or stiffness.

Ensure the wetsuit is rinsed thoroughly after each use and dried away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat and store properly to prevent drying out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Gul FLEXOR 32 YULEX BS STEAMER features a Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry system for easy donning and doffing. Ensure the PK [*]8 zipper is fully aligned before zipping to prevent snagging. The RevoFit 3D pattern ensures an anatomical fit, so take a moment to adjust the suit for a second-skin feel. The integrated key loop provides a secure spot for your car key or locker key.

Compatibility: This wetsuit is designed for surfing and similar water sports. It is compatible with standard surfboards and other watercraft. The thickness (3/2mm implied by '32') makes it suitable for moderate to cool water temperatures.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your YULEX® wetsuit:

  1. Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after each use.
  2. Hand wash gently with a mild wetsuit shampoo if necessary.
  3. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  4. Avoid machine washing or drying.
  5. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure it dries completely before storing.
  6. Store loosely folded or on a wide, padded hanger to avoid creases.
