This Gul FLEXOR 43 YULEX BS STEAMER is designed for surfers seeking a blend of flexibility, warmth, and eco-consciousness. Its key benefit is the sustainable construction using natural rubber, offering excellent performance without environmental compromise. A potential consideration is that, like all high-performance wetsuits, it requires specific care to maintain its longevity and properties. The wetsuit features a sustainable core, advanced seam construction for durability and water resistance, thermal lining for warmth, strategic knee reinforcement, and an ergonomic fit for unrestricted movement.

YULEX(r) is a plant-based, natural rubber alternative to petroleum-based neoprene. It is FSC(r) & PEFC(r) certified, making the wetsuit more sustainable and reducing its environmental impact.
A proper fit should feel like a second skin, with no major bunching or looseness, especially around the neck, arms, and legs. You should be able to move freely without restriction. The back zip should close smoothly, and seals should feel snug.
The FLEXOR 43 YULEX BS STEAMER features 4/3mm thickness with thermal linings, designed for moderate to cool water conditions. For extremely cold water, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers might be necessary.
No, never machine wash or dry your wetsuit. These processes can damage the YULEX(r) material, seams, and seals, compromising the suit's performance and longevity.
Blindstitched seams are sewn through the material but not all the way, creating a water-resistant stitch. G-Tape internal taping adds an extra layer of reinforcement and water sealing over these seams, particularly at critical stress points, enhancing durability and reducing leaks.
With proper care and regular use, a high-quality wetsuit like this can last several seasons. Longevity depends on factors such as frequency of use, conditions, and adherence to care instructions.
Ensure no sand or debris is in the zipper teeth. Gently lubricate the zipper with a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for wetsuits.
Check that the blindstitched seams are intact and G-Tape is adhered properly. Ensure the Pro GlideSkin collar and S-Seal cuffs are snug against the skin. If persistent, consider professional repair.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Use a wetsuit shampoo for occasional deep cleaning. Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry before storing.
This can occur if the wetsuit is not cared for properly or has been stored incorrectly. Ensure it is rinsed and dried correctly. If the material feels permanently stiff, it may be a sign of degradation.
Setup: The S-Lock Flush Barrier Back Zip Entry with a PK stainless steel Blackout zipper allows for straightforward entry and exit. Ensure the zipper is fully engaged and the flap is sealed to prevent water entry.
Compatibility: This wetsuit is designed for watersports like surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and paddleboarding. Its flexibility and thermal properties make it suitable for a range of water temperatures where a 4/3mm suit is appropriate.
