YULEX(r) is a natural rubber derived from rubber trees, certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r) for sustainable forestry. It's an alternative to neoprene, offering similar thermal properties with a lower environmental impact. It may feel slightly different in texture and require specific care to maintain its properties.
Refer to the Gul sizing chart. A proper fit is crucial for warmth and performance. The wetsuit should feel snug but not restrict breathing or major movement. Measure your chest, waist, and height according to the chart.
No, never machine wash or dry your wetsuit. The harsh chemicals and heat can damage the natural rubber, lining, and seams. Always rinse with fresh water and dry on a hanger away from direct heat.
G-Tape is applied to critical seam areas internally to reinforce them, enhancing their strength and water resistance. This prevents leaks and adds durability to high-stress points.
The wetsuit uses 'True Thickness Foam', meaning it provides reliable insulation without filler material. The '43' in the product name indicates the thickness: 4mm on the torso and 3mm on the limbs, a common and effective combination for warmth and flexibility.
Yes, the FLEXOR 43 BS YULEX CHEST ZIP STEAMER features a convenient key loop for secure storage of your essential keys.
Store the wetsuit on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not fold or crease the suit for long periods, as this can cause permanent damage to the material.
Ensure the Pro Glideskin Collar is lying flat and snug against your skin. Check that the chest zip is fully closed and the bib is properly positioned.
Ensure the wetsuit is properly rinsed and dried after use. Avoid exposing it to excessive heat. Natural rubber can benefit from occasional conditioning with a specialized wetsuit product.
Rinse the zipper area with fresh water to remove salt and sand. Gently try to work the zipper. If it persists, use a wax or lubricant specifically designed for wetsuit zippers.
Inspect the G-Tape Internal Taping in critical zones. If the taping appears damaged, it may require professional repair to maintain seam strength and water resistance.
Setup: The wetsuit is designed for a snug, second-skin fit. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance. To put on, carefully step into the legs and pull the suit up, then feed your arms through the sleeves. Use the Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry by pulling the cord to open the zip, then securing it once donned. The Pro Glideskin Collar should sit comfortably against the neck to prevent water entry.
Compatibility: This wetsuit is suitable for a range of watersports including surfing, bodyboarding, kitesurfing, and windsurfing. It is designed to be worn on its own.
Care: To maximize the lifespan of your YULEX wetsuit:
