FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?

YULEX(r) is a premium, plant-based material derived from responsibly managed forests, used as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based neoprene. It offers excellent performance while significantly reducing environmental impact.

What is the ideal water temperature range for this 3/2mm wetsuit?

A 3/2mm wetsuit is generally suitable for water temperatures between 15°C and 20°C (59°F and 68°F). This can vary based on individual cold tolerance and wind conditions.

How do I properly care for my YULEX wetsuit?

Always rinse with fresh, cold water after use. Hand wash with mild, specialized wetsuit shampoo if needed, and dry naturally away from direct sunlight. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing/drying.

Will this wetsuit keep me warm in cold weather?

This 3/2mm wetsuit is designed for moderate water temperatures. For colder conditions, a thicker wetsuit (e.g., 4/3mm or 5/4mm) with added thermal linings would be more appropriate.

What does 'blindstitched seams' mean?

Blindstitched seams are constructed by stitching through only one layer of the neoprene and then folding it over so the stitching on the second layer is hidden. This creates a strong, flexible, and highly water-resistant seam.

What is the S-Lock Flush Barrier Back Zip Entry?

This is a system designed to minimize water entry through the back zip. The 'Flush Barrier' and the waterproof 'Blackout zipper' work together to create a secure seal, keeping you drier and warmer.

Can I use this wetsuit for activities other than surfing?

Yes, the FLEXOR 32 YULEX is versatile and suitable for various water sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and general watersports where thermal protection and freedom of movement are needed.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels tight and restrictive.

Ensure you have the correct size. Wetsuits should feel snug but not painfully tight. Try putting it on again, ensuring the material is smooth and not bunched up, especially in the seams and joints. Natural rubber can take a few wears to break in.

Water flushing into the wetsuit.

Check that the back zip is fully closed and the velcro neck flap is properly secured. Ensure the cuffs and ankles seals are snug against your skin. Minor flushing can occur, but significant leakage suggests a fit issue or a damaged seal.

Seams feel stiff or are showing wear.

Ensure the wetsuit is thoroughly rinsed after every use. Avoid harsh detergents. If minor seam fraying occurs, consider using a wetsuit repair adhesive specifically designed for neoprene or natural rubber.

Wetsuit smells unpleasant.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. If the odor persists, hand wash with a specialized wetsuit cleaner. Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry before storing.

Knee pads feel stiff or uncomfortable.

The Powrtex4 knee pads are designed for durability and may feel firm initially. They should become more flexible with use. Ensure the wetsuit is properly fitted, as discomfort can arise from the suit being too tight or too loose around the knee area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally friendly construction using certified natural rubber.
  • Excellent warmth and flexibility for performance in various conditions.
  • Durable design with reinforced knees and taped seams.
  • Comfortable fit that allows for a full range of motion.
  • Secure and easy-to-use back zip system.

Cons

  • Natural rubber may require specific care instructions to maintain its properties.
  • The grey color may be less visible in certain water conditions compared to brighter colors.
  • Advanced features might translate to a higher price point compared to basic wetsuits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Donning: Unzip the back zip fully. Step into the wetsuit, pulling it up over your feet and legs. Carefully slide your arms into the sleeves, ensuring the material lies flat against your skin without twisting.
  2. Zipping: Reach back and grasp the cord attached to the zipper. Pull it upwards smoothly to close the back zip. Ensure the velcro flap at the neck is secured.

Compatibility:

This wetsuit is designed for water sports such as surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, and other board sports where flexibility and thermal protection are required in moderate water temperatures (typically 15-20°C or 59-68°F).

Care:

  • Rinsing: Always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use. This removes salt, sand, and chlorine, which can degrade the materials over time.
  • Washing: Hand wash only in cool, fresh water with a mild, specialized wetsuit shampoo if necessary. Do not use detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Hang your wetsuit to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Avoid wringing or stretching the material. A thick plastic hanger is recommended to maintain the shoulder shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the wetsuit for extended periods, as this can cause permanent damage.
