FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber and why is it used?

YULEX(r) is a sustainable alternative to neoprene, derived from plant-based sources. It is chosen for its environmental benefits and its performance in providing warmth and flexibility.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Gul sizing chart and take accurate body measurements (chest, waist, hips, height). Ensure a snug fit, as wetsuits should feel like a second skin.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

This 5/4mm steamer is designed for cool to cold water conditions. For extremely cold conditions or extended periods in the water, layering or a thicker wetsuit might be considered.

Can I machine wash my wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash gently in cool, fresh water with a mild, wetsuit-specific cleaner only if necessary.

How long should the wetsuit last?

With proper care and regular rinsing, a well-maintained wetsuit can last several seasons. Factors like frequency of use, water conditions, and storage methods will affect its lifespan.

What does 'Chest Zip BS Steamer' mean?

'Chest Zip' refers to the entry system located on the chest. 'BS' typically stands for 'Blindstitched', indicating the seam construction. 'Steamer' refers to the full-body coverage with long sleeves and legs.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels stiff or less flexible than expected.

YULEX(r) natural rubber may require a few uses to break in. Wear the wetsuit for a few sessions in the water to allow the material to soften and conform to your body.

Slight water entry at the seals.

Ensure the Pro Glideskin collar is snug against the neck and the S-Seal cuffs/ankles are properly positioned and not twisted. Check that the chest zip is fully engaged.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Rinse the zipper with fresh water to remove any salt or sand. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers if necessary.

Material shows signs of degradation (cracking, peeling).

This may indicate exposure to excessive heat or harsh chemicals. Ensure the wetsuit is always rinsed thoroughly and dried out of direct sunlight. Check the care instructions for appropriate washing and drying methods.

  • Designed for comfort with Thermospan lining and Pro Glideskin collar.
  • Durable construction with reinforced knee pads and a quality zipper.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This wetsuit is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure the chest zip is properly aligned and zipped up smoothly. The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip is designed for easy entry and a secure fit.

Compatibility: Designed for surfing and similar water sports. Its thickness and warmth are suitable for cool to cold water conditions. It is compatible with a wide range of surfboards and wetsuit accessories.

Care:

  • Rinse After Use: Always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use, both inside and out. This removes salt, sand, and chlorine which can degrade the material.
  • Washing: Hand wash in cool, fresh water with a mild, neoprene-safe wetsuit shampoo if necessary. Do not use detergents, bleach, or harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Hang dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight. Avoid wringing or stretching the wetsuit while wet. Never use a tumble dryer or direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store your wetsuit loosely hung on a wide, padded hanger or folded carefully to avoid creases. Avoid storing in damp conditions or in direct sunlight.
