This Gul FLEXOR 32 YULEX wetsuit is designed for environmentally conscious surfers seeking high performance. Its key benefit is offering excellent flexibility and warmth through sustainable YULEX® natural rubber and advanced construction. A potential caveat is that natural rubber may require specific care to maintain its properties over time. This wetsuit features a chest zip entry, YULEX® natural rubber, and a combination of Pinstripe External and X-Flex External panels for optimized movement and durability.

YULEX® is a natural rubber sourced from responsibly managed forests (FSC® & PEFC® certified). It's used as a sustainable alternative to neoprene, offering good insulation and flexibility while reducing the environmental impact of the wetsuit.
The chest zip entry is designed for a streamlined fit and reduced flushing compared to back zip models. It also allows for more flexibility in the back panel.
Thermospan lining is a thermal layer integrated into the wetsuit that helps to trap and retain body heat, keeping you warmer in the water without adding significant bulk.
The FLEXOR 32 YULEX is a 3/2mm wetsuit, generally suitable for moderate to cool water temperatures. For very cold water, you might need a thicker wetsuit (e.g., 4/3mm or 5/4mm) or additional thermal layers.
A proper fit is crucial for warmth and performance. The wetsuit should feel snug all over, like a second skin, without restricting your breathing or range of motion. Pay attention to tightness in the armpits, crotch, and behind the knees. Consult the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.
No, machine washing is not recommended. Always hand wash your wetsuit with fresh water and a mild soap or wetsuit cleaner. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
Blindstitching involves sewing seams that are only partially penetrated by the needle, creating a watertight and durable seam that minimizes water entry while maintaining flexibility.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should be snug but not overly restrictive. Try adjusting the fit around the shoulders and chest. If the issue persists, consider a different size or model.
Check that all seals (cuffs, ankles, neck) are properly positioned and creating a tight fit. Ensure the chest zip is fully closed. Blindstitched seams are designed to minimize entry, but minor seepage can occur. Ensure the suit is the correct size; a suit that is too loose will allow more water in.
This can happen if the wetsuit is not cared for properly. Ensure it is rinsed thoroughly after each use and dried out of direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat. Occasional washing with a wetsuit shampoo may help restore flexibility.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant designed for wetsuits can help. Ensure the zipper pull tab is correctly aligned when closing.
