FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?

YULEX(r) is a sustainable alternative to neoprene, made from responsibly sourced natural rubber that is FSC(r) and PEFC(r) certified. It offers excellent flexibility and thermal properties.

How do I clean my YULEX wetsuit?

Rinse thoroughly with cold, fresh water after each use. Occasionally, wash with a specialized wetsuit shampoo or mild soap. Always rinse after washing.

Can I machine wash or dry my wetsuit?

No, never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit. This can damage the natural rubber, seams, and seals. Always drip dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

What is the difference between YULEX and neoprene?

YULEX is a plant-based natural rubber, offering a more sustainable option with comparable performance to petroleum-based neoprene. It may require slightly different care to maintain its properties.

How should the chest zip entry work?

The Quadrate chest bib zip entry is designed for easy access and to minimize water flushing. Ensure the zip is fully closed and the bib is tucked in correctly for a secure seal.

What temperature water is this 4/3mm wetsuit suitable for?

A 4/3mm wetsuit is typically suitable for water temperatures ranging from 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F), but this can vary based on individual sensitivity to cold and air temperature.

Are the knee pads durable?

Yes, the wetsuit features Powertex4 knee pads, which are reinforced for enhanced durability and protection during watersports activities.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try stretching the suit gently in warm water before use. If the fit is fundamentally wrong, consider exchanging for a different size.

Water flushing through the chest zip

Ensure the Quadrate chest bib is fully closed and tucked securely. Check that the PK 8 zipper is fully engaged and that the slider is seated correctly.

Reduced flexibility over time

Follow the care instructions diligently, especially rinsing after use and drying out of direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat.

Seams leaking water

Check the blindstitched seams for any damage. Minor leaks can sometimes seal with use, but significant leakage may indicate a seam defect. Ensure all seals (cuffs, ankles, collar) are making good contact with the skin.

Odour developing

Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly after every use. If an odour persists, wash with a specialized wetsuit shampoo or a mild, non-detergent soap and ensure it dries completely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally friendly construction with YULEX(r) natural rubber.
  • Excellent flexibility and freedom of movement due to advanced patterning and material choices.
  • Effective heat retention for extended comfort in cold water.
  • Durable construction with reinforced areas and quality zippers.
  • Reduced water entry thanks to well-designed seams and seals.

Cons

  • Natural rubber may require specific rinsing and drying procedures compared to traditional neoprene.
  • The specific thickness (4/3mm implied by '43') might be too warm for summer conditions in some regions.
  • Chest zip entry, while reducing flushing, can sometimes feel more restrictive initially than back zip models for some users.
  • Detailed care instructions are important to preserve the natural rubber's integrity.
  • May not be suitable for surfers who prefer extremely lightweight or minimal wetsuit designs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, second-skin fit. The Quadrate chest bib zip entry allows for straightforward donning and doffing. Make sure the zipper is fully engaged and the chest bib is sealed properly.

Compatibility: This wetsuit is compatible with all watersports requiring thermal protection and flexibility, including surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and bodyboarding.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly inside and out with cold, fresh water.
  2. Wash Occasionally: Periodically wash the wetsuit using a specialized wetsuit shampoo or mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Drying: Hang the wetsuit to drip dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid wringing or stretching the suit while wet. Ensure it is fully dry before storage to prevent mildew.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit hanging on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid folding or creasing, which can damage the natural rubber and seals.
