FAQs

What is YULEX(r) natural rubber?

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber alternative derived from responsibly managed forests, offering a more sustainable option compared to traditional neoprene while providing excellent performance characteristics.

How does the S-Lock Flush Barrier work?

The S-Lock system, combined with the PK stainless steel Blackout zipper and the Pro GlideSkin collar, is designed to create a seal that significantly reduces water entry into the wetsuit, keeping you warmer.

Can I machine wash my wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Always rinse with fresh water and follow the care instructions provided.

What is the intended water temperature range for this wetsuit?

This wetsuit is designed for cool to cold water conditions, providing warmth and flexibility for extended use in such environments.

How do I maintain the durability of the knee pads?

The Powrtex4 knee pads are designed for durability. Ensure the wetsuit is rinsed properly after each use to remove abrasive elements like sand and salt, which can wear down protective materials.

What is the difference between ThermoSpan and Micro2Flex lining?

ThermoSpan lining provides primary thermal insulation, while Micro2Flex lining is designed for internal comfort and enhanced flexibility, ensuring you stay warm and agile.

Is this wetsuit suitable for beginners?

Yes, the combination of warmth, flexibility, and ease of use (particularly the back zip) makes it suitable for surfers of all levels looking for a sustainable and high-performance option.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. A proper fit is snug but should not restrict breathing or circulation. Consult the sizing chart.

Water leaking through seams or cuffs

Check that the G-Tape internal taping is intact and the S-Seal cuffs and ankles are properly positioned. Ensure the back zip is fully closed and the collar is secured.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate

Rinse the zipper with fresh water to remove salt and sand. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or beeswax to the teeth for smoother operation.

Material feels less flexible after use

Ensure the wetsuit is being rinsed and dried correctly. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat, which can degrade the YULEX(r) and lining materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
