Gul FLEXOR 54 YULEX BS STEAMER - Black

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber derived from sources certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r), offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene. It is chosen for its performance characteristics, including flexibility and insulation, while reducing environmental impact.

A properly fitting wetsuit should feel snug like a second skin, without restricting your breathing or major movements. There should be no significant baggy areas, especially around the torso, arms, and legs. You should be able to move relatively freely during essential surfing motions.

No, you should never machine wash or machine dry your wetsuit. Always hand wash with fresh water and mild soap, and hang to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat.

The S-Lock system is designed to create a watertight seal. The waterproof zipper prevents water from entering through the main zip, and the flush barrier is an additional layer or design feature that further minimizes water ingress around the zip area.

ThermoSpan is typically a thermal lining designed for warmth retention, while Micro2Flex is an internal lining focused on providing flexibility and a comfortable feel against the skin, ensuring both warmth and agility.

With proper care and regular rinsing after use, a YULEX(r) wetsuit can last several seasons. Factors like frequency of use, water conditions, and adherence to care instructions will influence its lifespan.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Natural rubber can have a different initial feel than neoprene; it may become more flexible with use. If it remains restrictive, consider trying a larger size.

Check that the back zip is fully closed and the Velcro tab is secured. Ensure the S-Seal cuffs and ankles are snug against your skin. Inspect seams and seals for any damage or wear.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or zipper wax to the teeth if it feels stiff. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Ensure the wetsuit was thoroughly rinsed with fresh water and dried away from direct heat. Sometimes, natural rubber can stiffen slightly; gentle stretching or a brief period of wear can help restore flexibility.
