This Gul FLEXOR 32 YULEX BS STEAMER is designed for conscious surfers seeking peak performance with a focus on flexibility, warmth, and sustainability. Its key benefit is the use of eco-conscious YULEX(r) natural rubber and advanced construction for uncompromised agility and protection. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit and feel compared to traditional neoprene, which requires adjustment. The wetsuit features a blindstitched seam construction, YULEX(r) certified natural rubber, and a combination of Pinstripe External (Upper) and X-Flex External (Lower) panels for optimized stretch and movement.

YULEX(r) natural rubber is sourced from trees certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r), ensuring responsible forest management. It's a renewable resource and a biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based neoprene.
The '32' in the name typically refers to a 3mm thickness for the main body, suitable for a range of water temperatures. Combined with the Thermospan lining and blindstitched seams, it's designed for significant warmth. Consider your personal cold tolerance and specific water conditions.
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Always hand wash gently with fresh water.
The Quadrate Chest Bib Zip is designed for ease of entry and exit while minimizing water flushing through the zipper area, contributing to better warmth retention.
This technology creates a more anatomically precise fit, reducing excess material and allowing for greater freedom of movement, mimicking a second skin for optimal agility in the water.
The key loop is typically located discreetly within the wetsuit design, often near the leg or ankle, to provide a secure place to store a car key or locker key without compromising the suit's integrity.
Pinstripe External panels are located on the upper body and offer high stretch for paddling and arm movement. X-Flex External panels are on the lower body, providing high-performance flexibility where it's most needed for leg drive and stance.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should fit snugly, but if movement is severely restricted, it may be too small. Try a different size if possible. Allow a short break-in period as the material may adapt slightly.
Check that all seals (collar, cuffs, ankles) are tight against the skin. Ensure the chest zip is fully closed and secured. Verify that the blindstitched seams are intact and not damaged.
This can sometimes happen with natural rubber. Ensure the wetsuit is fully rinsed after use and dried out of direct sunlight. Using a specific wetsuit conditioner designed for natural rubber may help restore flexibility.
For very minor separation in non-critical areas, a wetsuit repair adhesive or seam sealer might be a temporary fix. For significant issues, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.
Setup: The wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure a proper fit by trying it on before your session; it should feel snug but not restrictive. Utilize the Quadrate Chest Bib Zip for entry, ensuring it is securely fastened.
Compatibility: This wetsuit is suitable for various watersports, including surfing, kayaking, and paddleboarding, in temperate to cool water conditions (32 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, depending on individual tolerance). It is designed to work with standard wetsuit accessories.
