FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber and how does it differ from neoprene?

YULEX(r) is a sustainable, plant-based alternative to traditional petroleum-based neoprene. It is derived from FSC(r) and PEFC(r) certified natural rubber, offering excellent flexibility and warmth while being more environmentally conscious. Its performance characteristics may differ slightly from neoprene, often providing a softer, more supple feel.

How do I ensure the best fit for the RevoFit 3D Pattern Technology?

The RevoFit 3D Pattern is designed to contour to the body. Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size for your measurements. When putting it on, pull it up evenly, ensuring there are no major wrinkles or bunching, especially around the shoulders, hips, and knees, for a true second-skin feel.

Can I machine wash this wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use. If a deeper clean is needed, use a mild, wetsuit-specific shampoo in cool water and rinse very well. Avoid harsh detergents and spin cycles.

What is the purpose of G-Tape Internal Taping?

G-Tape Internal Taping is applied to critical seam zones to enhance their strength and water resistance. This provides additional durability and helps prevent leaks in areas that experience significant stress.

How long will the YULEX(r) material last?

With proper care, YULEX(r) natural rubber can offer excellent durability and performance. Regular rinsing, correct drying, and avoiding harsh chemicals and prolonged direct sunlight are key to extending its lifespan.

Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water?

The FLEXOR 54 BS YULEX CHEST ZIP STEAMER offers warmth through its YULEX(r) material, Thermospan lining, and advanced seam construction. It is suitable for temperate to cool water conditions. For extremely cold water, layering or a thicker wetsuit might be necessary depending on individual tolerance.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure the suit is fully on and settled. Check for bunching in the joints. A proper fit is crucial for RevoFit 3D Pattern Technology to work effectively. If still uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size for your body dimensions.

Water flushing through the chest zip.

Verify that the ABS Chest Zip Entry flap is correctly aligned and securely closed. Ensure the zipper pull is fully tucked away. If flushing persists, check the zipper teeth for debris.

Reduced warmth or cold spots.

Ensure all seals (cuffs, ankles, neck) are properly fitted and creating a watertight seal. Check blindstitched seams for any signs of separation. Rinsing and proper drying also help maintain insulation properties.

Material feels stiff or less flexible after use.

This can sometimes occur if the suit is not properly rinsed after saltwater exposure or if dried improperly. Ensure thorough fresh water rinsing and air drying away from heat and sunlight.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The ABS Chest Zip Entry system is designed for straightforward donning and doffing. Ensure the zipper is fully engaged and the flap is correctly positioned to minimize water entry. For optimal fit, allow the suit to settle on your body, ensuring no excess bunching, particularly around the neck, shoulders, and knees.

Compatibility: This wetsuit is designed for surfing and watersports in temperate to cool water conditions. Its flexibility and warmth make it suitable for a range of activities requiring significant movement.

Care:

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, rinse the wetsuit inside and out with fresh, cool water. This removes salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Wash Sparingly: If necessary, wash with a mild, wetsuit-specific shampoo in cool water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Drying: Hang the wetsuit on a wide, padded hanger or a plastic hanger (avoid wire hangers) to dry. Dry it inside out first, then turn it right side out. Do not dry in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can degrade the YULEX(r) material and seals.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the wetsuit, as this can cause permanent damage. Hanging is the preferred method.
