YULEX(r) is a plant-based, natural rubber derived from responsibly managed forests. It offers a more sustainable alternative to petroleum-based neoprene, providing similar warmth and flexibility while reducing environmental impact.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use. If cleaning is needed, use a mild, wetsuit-specific soap and hand wash gently. Avoid harsh detergents and machine washing.
The '43' in the name typically refers to a 4/3mm thickness, making it suitable for water temperatures ranging from approximately 8°C to 15°C (46°F to 59°F), depending on individual tolerance and conditions.
Chest zip entry systems like the Quadrate Bib Zip are designed to reduce flushing by creating a more sealed environment around the chest and shoulders. While they can take a little more practice to get used to, they often provide better warmth retention.
Yes, the wetsuit's features like warmth, flexibility, and ease of movement make it suitable for beginners. However, mastering the chest zip entry might require a little patience.
Powertex4 knee pads are designed for enhanced durability and abrasion resistance, providing protection during paddling and on the board. However, like all wetsuit components, they can be subject to wear and tear with extensive use.
No, it is strongly recommended not to wash your wetsuit in a washing machine. Machine washing can damage the delicate materials, seams, and seals, compromising the wetsuit's performance and lifespan.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the Gul sizing guide. Try stretching the material gently before use. Allow for a break-in period as the YULEX(r) material adapts to your body.
Check that all seals (collar, cuffs, ankles) are positioned correctly and snugly against the skin. Ensure the zipper is fully closed. For minor seam leaks, the G-Tape internal taping should provide resistance; significant leakage may indicate a defect.
This can sometimes occur with natural rubber. Ensure the suit is completely dry and try gently flexing the material. Avoid drying in direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber.
Gently rinse the zipper area with fresh water to remove any salt or sand residue. Apply a small amount of zip lubricant specifically designed for wetsuits. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Setup: This wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size by referring to the brand's sizing chart. The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry allows for straightforward donning and doffing.
Compatibility: The FLEXOR 43 YULEX STEAMER is compatible with various surfing accessories such as leashes, board wax, and rash guards. It is designed for saltwater and freshwater environments.
