FAQs
What is the primary use case for this wetsuit?
This 1mm wetsuit is primarily designed for water sports in warmer conditions, offering flexibility and protection for activities like sailing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water diving?
No, the 1mm thickness is generally too thin for cold water diving. It is best suited for moderate to warm temperatures or as a layering piece.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the Gul sizing chart and take accurate measurements of your chest, waist, hips, and inseam. The wetsuit should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or circulation.
Can I machine wash this wetsuit?
It is not recommended to machine wash this wetsuit. Hand washing with cold water and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What does 'Flatlock' construction mean?
Flatlock seams are stitched flat against the fabric, providing a comfortable, non-chafing feel against the skin. They are common in wetsuits for warmer conditions.
How long will the reinforced areas last?
The FLEXTEX seat and POWERTEX S-SHEILD knees and shins are designed for high abrasion resistance, significantly extending the life of the wetsuit in these high-wear areas under normal use.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consult the sizing chart and measure carefully. The neoprene will also slightly relax with use.
Chafing or discomfort
Ensure the wetsuit is properly fitted. Rinsing the inside with fresh water can sometimes help. Consider wearing a rash vest underneath for added comfort.
Reduced flexibility over time
Proper care is essential. Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly after each use and drying correctly. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade the neoprene.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This wetsuit requires no specific setup; it is designed to be worn directly. Compatibility is with various water sports activities. To ensure the longevity and performance of your wetsuit:
- Rinsing: Always rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after each use, especially after saltwater exposure.
- Washing: Hand wash gently with a mild soap or wetsuit shampoo. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
- Drying: Dry the wetsuit naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Hang it on a wide hanger to avoid creasing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally hung on a wide padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid folding or compressing for long periods.
