FAQs
What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?
YULEX(r) natural rubber is a sustainable alternative to traditional neoprene, derived from responsibly managed forests (FSC(r) & PEFC(r) certified). It offers similar performance characteristics in terms of flexibility and insulation.
How do I know if my wetsuit fits correctly?
A well-fitting wetsuit should feel snug all over without restricting breathing or major movement. There should be no significant baggy areas, especially around the torso, crotch, and armpits. The seals at the cuffs and ankles should be snug against your skin.
Can I machine wash or tumble dry my wetsuit?
No, machine washing and tumble drying are not recommended. Always rinse with fresh water and air dry away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve the material's integrity.
What is the difference between Pinstripe External and X-Flex External materials?
Pinstripe External is used on the upper body for stylish, high-stretch panels, while X-Flex External is used on the lower body for maximum flexibility where it's most needed during surfing.
How durable are the Powertex4 Knee Pads?
The Powertex4 Knee Pads are reinforced to enhance durability and provide protection. They are designed to withstand the stresses of surfing and paddling.
What is the purpose of the G-Tape Internal Taping?
G-Tape Internal Taping is applied to critical zones to enhance seam strength and improve water resistance, ensuring the suit remains durable and performs well in demanding conditions.
Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?
The 5/4mm thickness and Thermospan lining provide significant warmth, making it suitable for cold to temperate water conditions. For extremely cold conditions, consider thicker wetsuits or additional thermal layers.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size. Wetsuits should be snug but allow for movement. Try adjusting the fit around the shoulders and chest.
Water flushing through the chest zip
Make sure the chest zip is fully closed and the flap is correctly positioned. Ensure the Pro Glideskin Collar is snug against the neck.
Seams appear to be leaking
Check that the G-Tape Internal Taping is intact. Minor leaks at seams might seal themselves during use; if persistent, contact customer support.
Material feels stiff after drying
Ensure the wetsuit was rinsed thoroughly with fresh water after use. Avoid drying in direct sunlight. Store properly to maintain flexibility.
