FAQs

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

YULEX® is a natural rubber sourced from responsibly managed forests (FSC® & PEFC® certified). It's used as a sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene, offering excellent flexibility and insulation with a reduced environmental impact.

How does the Blindstitched Seam Construction work?

Blindstitching involves stitching that only goes partway through the material. This creates a strong, flexible seam that is highly water-resistant, minimizing water entry and maximizing warmth and durability.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

The FLEXOR 32 YULEX is designed for performance in various conditions, with features like Thermospan lining and robust seals for warmth. For extremely cold water, consider a thicker neoprene suit or layering.

How do I properly put on and take off the wetsuit?

Lay the wetsuit flat. Insert one leg at a time, gently pulling it up without using fingernails. Repeat for the other leg. Then, insert your arms and carefully pull the suit up over your torso, aligning the chest zip. Removal is the reverse process, being careful not to snag the material.

What is the lifespan of a YULEX® wetsuit?

With proper care and maintenance, a YULEX® wetsuit can last several seasons. Regular rinsing, correct drying, and proper storage are crucial for maximizing its lifespan.

Can I machine wash this wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the natural rubber and seam construction. Always hand wash with fresh water and a mild detergent if necessary.

What does '32' in FLEXOR 32 refer to?

The '32' typically refers to the thickness of the neoprene (or in this case, natural rubber) in millimeters, indicating a 3mm thickness, suitable for a range of temperate to cooler water conditions.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or circulation. Check the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. Natural rubber may require a short break-in period.

Water flushing into the suit.

Confirm that all seals (cuffs, ankles, neck) are properly positioned and creating a snug fit. Ensure the chest zip is fully closed and secured. Check for any tears or damage around the seals.

Seams appear to be separating.

Inspect the G-Tape internal taping in critical zones for any signs of damage. Minor separations in blindstitching might be repairable with a specialized wetsuit repair adhesive. For significant issues, contact customer support.

Suit smells of natural rubber.

A faint natural rubber odor is normal and will dissipate over time with regular rinsing and airing. Ensure the suit is dried completely in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a full wetsuit designed for direct use. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip is designed for easy entry.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard surfing accessories such as leashes, wax, and board bags. While designed for surfing, it can also be suitable for other watersports like paddleboarding, kayaking, or windsurfing in similar conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, rinse the wetsuit inside and out with fresh, cool water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Hand Wash (Optional): If a deeper clean is needed, use a mild wetsuit shampoo and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry on a wide, padded hanger, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Never tumble dry or iron.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit loosely rolled or hanging to prevent creases and damage to the rubber.
  5. Avoid Sharp Objects: Be mindful of zippers, fins, and other sharp objects that could puncture or tear the material.
