FAQs

What makes the YULEX(r) material sustainable?

YULEX(r) is a natural rubber derived from trees that are certified by FSC(r) and PEFC(r). This process helps reduce the environmental impact associated with traditional neoprene production.

How does the blindstitched seam construction work?

Blindstitched seams involve stitching that only goes halfway through the neoprene. The panels are then glued and taped internally. This creates a strong, water-resistant seam that also offers good flexibility.

What is the intended water temperature range for this wetsuit?

With its 3mm thickness and thermal linings, this wetsuit is generally suitable for temperate to cool water conditions, typically ranging from 10°C to 18°C (50°F to 64°F), depending on individual tolerance.

Can I machine wash this wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand washing with a mild, wetsuit-specific shampoo and cool fresh water is the preferred method for cleaning.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The wetsuit should fit like a second skin, being snug everywhere without restricting movement or breathing. Try it on and perform common surfing movements. Refer to the detailed size guide provided by the manufacturer.

What is the purpose of the Powrtex4 knee pads?

The Powrtex4 knee pads are designed to provide extra reinforcement and abrasion resistance in the high-stress knee area, increasing the durability of the wetsuit during activities that involve kneeling.

Is this wetsuit suitable for beginners?

Yes, the combination of flexibility, warmth, and ease of use makes it a suitable option for beginners looking for a high-quality, sustainable wetsuit.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should fit snugly, but not restrict breathing or circulation. Refer to the sizing chart. Allow time for the material to stretch slightly with use.

Water flushing through the neck or cuffs.

Check that the Pro GlideSkin collar and S-Seal cuffs/ankles are properly positioned against your skin. Ensure the back zip is fully closed and the flush barrier is engaged. A properly fitted wetsuit minimizes flushing.

Reduced warmth or flexibility over time.

Proper care is crucial. Ensure the wetsuit is rinsed after every use and dried correctly. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade the YULEX(r) material. Use only wetsuit-specific cleaners.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Gently rinse the zipper area with fresh water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant specifically designed for wetsuits. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally conscious material choice with YULEX(r).
  • Excellent durability due to G-Tape and Powrtex4 knee pads.
  • Superior warmth and flexibility from advanced thermal linings.
  • Comfortable, second-skin fit via RevoFit 3D pattern.
  • Reduced flushing with effective collar, cuffs, and ankle seals.

Cons

  • Natural rubber may require specific cleaning and storage care.
  • Back zip entry can sometimes be more challenging to manage independently.
  • Blindstitched seams, while durable, might offer slightly less flexibility than fully taped seams in extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, performance fit. The S-Lock Back Zip Entry is operated by pulling the cord upwards to open. Always ensure the flush barrier is correctly positioned before zipping up.

Compatibility:

The FLEXOR 32 YULEX STEAMER is compatible with a wide range of watersports, including surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and bodyboarding. It is suitable for temperate to cool water conditions.

Care Instructions:

  • Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after each use to remove salt and chlorine.
  • Wash by hand using a mild, wetsuit-specific shampoo. Do not use harsh detergents or washing machines.
  • Hang to dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid wringing or stretching the material excessively.
  • Store in a cool, dry place, preferably hanging on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid folding, which can cause permanent creases.
