Product Information

Full details

The Gul Response 3mm Flatlock Natur Longjohn Wetsuit is designed for water sports enthusiasts, such as kayakers, paddleboarders, and sailors, who prioritize mobility and environmental sustainability. Its key benefit lies in the 150% stretch x-flex material and ergonomic REVOFIT 3D patterning, which allow for unrestricted movement. A notable caveat for users is that the flatlock seam construction is designed for warmer water conditions, as it is not fully watertight compared to blind-stitched or sealed-seam alternatives.

FAQs

Is this wetsuit suitable for winter swimming?

No, this is a 3mm suit with flatlock seams, which is designed for spring and summer water temperatures. It will not provide enough insulation for winter use.

What does the 150% stretch mean?

This refers to the material's ability to stretch significantly beyond its original size, ensuring the suit conforms to your body for maximum mobility.

Can I use this for surfing?

Yes, it is excellent for surfing in warmer climates or during the summer, as it provides core warmth while keeping your arms free for paddling.

How should I store my wetsuit?

Store it hanging on a wide-shouldered, non-metallic wetsuit hanger in a cool, dry, and dark place.

Are the materials eco-friendly?

Yes, this suit uses NatuR BEYOND FSC certified natural rubber, which is harvested from responsibly managed forests.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the standard Gul size chart, focusing primarily on your height and chest measurements for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping up the back zipper

Ensure the suit is pulled up fully and symmetrically on the body; use the attached pull-cord with a steady, upward motion.

Signs of wear on seams

Inspect the flatlock stitching for loose threads; if found, do not pull them. Minor wear is expected with use, but keep the suit away from abrasive surfaces.

Suit feels stiff after storage

Soak the suit in cool, fresh water to rehydrate the rubber and gently work the material with your hands to restore flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent range of motion due to X-FLEX stretch material
  • Sustainable construction using FSC certified natural rubber
  • Comfortable fit supported by 3D pattern engineering
  • Enhanced durability in high-wear areas like the seat
  • Easy entry/exit with 2-way plastic zipper

Cons

  • Flatlock seams allow some water ingress, making it unsuitable for very cold conditions
  • Longjohn design leaves arms exposed to sun and wind
  • Limited thermal protection compared to full-length steamers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Avoid drying the suit in direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the natural rubber over time; instead, hang it in a shaded, well-ventilated area. When putting the suit on, avoid using fingernails to pull at the material, as this can cause punctures or tears. If you are using the suit in conjunction with other gear, such as a spray deck or PFD, ensure all straps are adjusted to avoid excessive friction against the neoprene panels.
