Gul FLEXOR 43 YULEX BS STEAMER - Black

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber material derived from sustainably managed forests. It is a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional neoprene and offers excellent flexibility and insulation properties.

Blind stitching involves sewing the seam partway through the fabric layers without penetrating all the way through. This creates a nearly watertight seam that is also very strong and flexible.

YULEX(r) is a natural material that is more sustainable and often offers a softer, more forgiving feel. Neoprene is a synthetic material known for its buoyancy and insulation, but it has a higher environmental footprint.

While this wetsuit offers good warmth, for water temperatures below 10°C (50°F), it is recommended to use it with additional thermal layers or consider a thicker wetsuit model.

With proper care and maintenance, YULEX(r) wetsuits can last for several years. Regular rinsing and correct drying are key to prolonging the material's lifespan.

No, machine washing or drying is not recommended. The harshness of machine cycles can damage the YULEX(r) material, seams, and seals. Always hand wash and air dry.

This indicates that the wetsuit is made to the advertised thickness specification, ensuring it provides the intended level of warmth and buoyancy without any reduction in material.

This is normal for natural rubber. Ensure the suit is fully dry, and it will regain flexibility upon wearing. Avoid using heat to dry.

Ensure all seals (collar, cuffs, ankles) are positioned correctly and are not twisted. Double-check that the back zip is fully closed and the flush barrier is engaged. For persistent leaks, consider seam repair with wetsuit adhesive.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based zipper lubricant specifically designed for wetsuits.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every use. For persistent odors, use a wetsuit-specific cleaner and ensure the suit is completely dry before storing.
