FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?

YULEX(r) is a plant-based alternative to neoprene, made from FSC(r) & PEFC(r) certified natural rubber. It offers excellent flexibility and warmth while being more environmentally sustainable.

How does the chest zip entry work?

The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry uses a system where a bib flap with a zip provides streamlined access. It's designed to reduce flushing and maintain a secure fit around the neck and chest area.

Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water?

With its 3/2mm thickness, Thermospan Thermal Lining, and advanced seam construction, this wetsuit is designed to provide significant warmth. It's suitable for moderate to cool water conditions, depending on individual cold tolerance.

How do I maintain the natural rubber?

Rinse with fresh water after each use, dry in the shade, and avoid harsh chemicals or direct heat. Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of the YULEX(r) material.

What is the difference between Pinstripe External and X-Flex External panels?

Pinstripe External panels (typically on the upper body) are designed for high stretch and unrestricted movement. X-Flex External panels (on the lower body) are engineered for maximum flexibility where it's most needed during surfing.

Can I machine wash this wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It should be rinsed with fresh water and, if necessary, hand-washed gently with a mild wetsuit shampoo. Machine washing can damage the materials and construction.

What is the purpose of the Key Loop?

The Key Loop is a small, integrated feature designed to securely hold your car key or locker key while you are in the water, preventing loss.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure the wetsuit is fully put on and all seams are settled. The RevoFit 3D pattern is designed for a snug fit; natural rubber may have a different initial feel than neoprene. Try moving in the wetsuit to help it conform to your body.

Water flushing into the wetsuit.

Check that the Pro Glideskin Collar is snug against your neck and that the S-Seal Cuff & Ankle Seals are properly positioned and tight against your skin. Ensure the chest zip is fully closed and the bib is securely in place.

Material feels stiff after drying.

This can happen if the wetsuit was dried in direct sunlight or exposed to heat. Ensure you are rinsing with fresh water and drying in a cool, shaded area. Gentle stretching of the material while damp might help.

Seams appear to be separating.

Inspect the G-Tape Internal Taping in critical zones. If minor separation occurs, it may not affect performance, but significant damage should be addressed by a professional repair service. Avoid stretching seams excessively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Gul FLEXOR 32 YULEX CHEST ZIP GBS STEAMER features a Quadrate Chest Bib Zip Entry. To put it on, step into the legs and pull the suit up. Open the chest bib zip and thread your arms through, then pull the bib over your head, securing the zip. Ensure all seals at the cuffs and ankles are snug against your skin for optimal water protection.

Compatibility: This wetsuit is designed for surfing and other water sports requiring flexibility and warmth. It is compatible with standard surf accessories. The Black colorway is part of the FLEXOR 32 YULEX CHEST ZIP GBS STEAMER line, which also comes in Grey. Note that different material compositions like Nylon exist in sibling variants, but this specific model is Polyester.

Care: To maximize the lifespan of your wetsuit:

  1. Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use.
  2. Hand wash with a mild wetsuit shampoo if necessary; avoid machine washing.
  3. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  4. Dry the wetsuit inside out in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, which can degrade the material.
  5. Do not tumble dry or iron.
  6. Store the wetsuit hanging on a wide, padded hanger or folded loosely. Avoid creasing the material.
