Product Information

Full details

Its key benefit is the combination of sustainable materials with advanced features for flexibility, warmth, and durability.

This wetsuit features a YULEX® FSC® & PEFC® certified natural rubber core, blindstitched seams with G-Tape internal taping, ThermoSpan thermal lining, Micro2Flex internal lining, Powrtex4 knee pads, RevoFit 3D pattern technology, and an S-Lock Flush Barrier Back Zip Entry with a PK stainless steel Blackout waterproof zipper.

FAQs

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

YULEX® is a certified natural rubber derived from responsibly managed forests. It is used as an eco-conscious alternative to neoprene, offering comparable performance with a reduced environmental impact.

How does the blindstitched seam construction improve performance?

Blindstitched seams are sewn through the material but not all the way, creating a strong, flexible, and highly water-resistant seal. Internal G-Tape taping adds further reinforcement.

Will this wetsuit keep me warm in cold water?

Yes, the combination of YULEX® foam, ThermoSpan thermal lining, Micro2Flex internal lining, and true thickness construction is designed to provide excellent warmth in a variety of water temperatures.

How do I put on the wetsuit easily?

The S-Lock Flush Barrier Back Zip Entry with PK stainless steel zipper allows for easy entry. Ensure the zipper is fully open, step into the legs, and carefully pull the suit up. Then, reach back to pull the zip cord and secure the zipper.

What is the difference between this wetsuit and a traditional neoprene wetsuit?

The primary difference is the material. This wetsuit uses YULEX® natural rubber, which is more sustainable. While offering similar performance, the feel and stretch characteristics of natural rubber can differ slightly from neoprene.

Can I machine wash or dry my wetsuit?

No, machine washing or drying can damage the materials and construction of the wetsuit. Always follow the hand-wash and air-dry instructions for care.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's sizing chart. A proper fit is crucial for flexibility and warmth.

Water flushing occurs around the neck or ankles.

Check the fit of the GlideSkin collar and S-Seal cuffs/ankles. Ensure they are snug but not uncomfortably tight. Re-adjusting the zipper can also help.

Seams appear to be separating or leaking.

Inspect the blindstitched seams and G-Tape. If minor issues are found, some wetsuit repair kits can address this. For significant damage, contact customer support.

Wetsuit smells after use.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every use. For persistent odors, use a specialized wetsuit shampoo designed to neutralize bacteria and odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a full wetsuit designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.

Compatibility: Compatible with most watersports, including surfing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.

Care:

  1. Rinse: Always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cool water after each use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Wash: Periodically wash the wetsuit with a specialized wetsuit shampoo or mild detergent in cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
  3. Dry: Hang the wetsuit to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as heat can damage the materials. Dry it inside out initially, then turn it right-side out once the inside is dry.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit hanging on a wide, padded hanger or folded loosely to avoid creases and maintain its shape.
