FAQs

Can I use this wetsuit for winter surfing?

This 3mm Shortjane is designed for warmer water temperatures. It is not recommended for winter surfing as it lacks sleeve coverage and has flatlock seams.

What does 'Flatlock' mean?

Flatlock refers to a method of stitching where the panels are overlapped and stitched together, creating a strong, flat seam that is comfortable against the skin.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the standard UK dress size guide provided by Gul. The suit should feel snug like a second skin without restricting your breathing.

Is the rubber really natural?

Yes, this model features NatuR BEYOND natural rubber, which is a more sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based neoprene.

Can I machine wash the suit?

No, never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit, as this will destroy the integrity of the foam and the stitching.

Troubleshooting

Water entering at the neck

Ensure the Glideskin seal is sitting flush against your skin; if hair or swimwear is trapped underneath, it can break the seal.

Difficulty zipping up

Check the zipper track for sand or salt crystals. Rinse with fresh water and ensure the base is aligned before pulling the tab.

Feeling cold during use

Check that the suit is not too loose. If there is significant space between the skin and the suit, water flushing will occur, reducing heat retention.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High flexibility with X-Flex material
  • Environmentally friendly NatuR rubber construction
  • Excellent freedom of movement due to the Shortjane design
  • Soft internal feel thanks to Micro2Flex lining
  • Corrosion-resistant PK plastic zipper

Cons

  • Flatlock seams are less thermally efficient than blind-stitched seams
  • Shortjane style leaves arms exposed, limiting use to warmer climates or summer months
  • Specific fit requires accurate sizing for maximum comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gul Wetsuit, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Rinsing: Always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water after every use, especially after saltwater or chlorinated sessions.
  2. Drying: Hang the suit on a wide, plastic coat hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight as UV rays can degrade the rubber.
  3. Storage: Never fold your wetsuit for long periods; always hang it flat. Store it in a cool, dry place.
  4. Cleaning: Only use specialized wetsuit shampoo if the suit smells; do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or dry cleaning services.
