Gul FLEXOR 54 BS YULEX CHEST ZIP STEAMER - Black

YULEX(r) is a plant-based rubber derived from sustainably managed sources, certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r). It offers similar or superior performance characteristics to traditional neoprene in terms of warmth and flexibility, while being a more eco-friendly alternative.

A proper fit is crucial. The wetsuit should feel snug like a second skin without restricting movement. Ensure there are no major wrinkles, especially around the major joints. The seals at the cuffs and ankles should be tight but comfortable.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the YULEX(r) material, seams, and seals. Always hand wash with cool water and mild soap.

With proper care and regular rinsing after each use, the Gul FLEXOR 54 BS YULEX CHEST ZIP STEAMER can last for several seasons. Factors like frequency of use, water conditions, and storage methods will influence its lifespan.

The Powertex4 Knee Pads are reinforced sections designed to protect the knees from abrasion and impact, increasing the durability of the wetsuit in high-wear areas, especially during activities like paddling or kneeling on a board.

The 5/4mm thickness (implied by '54') combined with the Thermospan lining and YULEX(r) material makes this wetsuit suitable for cool to cold water conditions. For extremely icy temperatures, a thicker wetsuit or additional accessories might be necessary.

Ensure the wetsuit is properly rinsed after use and fully dry. Natural rubber can take some time to regain its optimal flexibility. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.

Make sure the chest zip is fully engaged and the flap underneath is correctly positioned. Ensure the Pro Glideskin collar is snug against the neck.

Inspect the G-Tape internal taping in critical zones. If damage is significant, contact customer support. Minor issues may not affect performance.

Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly to remove any residue. Ensure the Micr02Flex internal lining is clean. Consider wearing a rash vest underneath if irritation persists.
