The Gul Yulex Wetsuit Beanie is designed for surfers, swimmers, and cold-water enthusiasts seeking high-performance thermal protection in harsh conditions. Its primary benefit is the use of sustainable FSC and PEFC certified natural rubber paired with a Thermospan lining that locks in core heat during extended sessions in the water. While it provides excellent coverage and warmth, users should note that the specialized fit around the ears requires careful adjustment to ensure a proper seal against incoming water.

No, it is crafted from FSC and PEFC certified natural rubber (Yulex), making it a more sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based neoprene.
Yes, it is suitable for open water swimming, though ensure you choose the correct size for a secure fit to prevent it from slipping while swimming.
The fold line is designed to be flipped down over your ears to provide an extra layer of insulation when water temperatures drop significantly.
When used correctly, it should not damage your suit. Ensure you are attaching it to the zipper puller rather than the suit material itself.
Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and avoid folding or creasing the rubber unnecessarily when packing.
Ensure the folded ear section is positioned correctly over the ear canal and that no hair is trapped under the rim, which can break the seal.
Ensure your wetsuit's zipper puller is clean; if it is too small, use a short piece of accessory cord to create a loop for the beanie tether.
To set up your beanie, slide it on before donning your wetsuit hood or while wearing your wetsuit collar. Utilize the leash loop to secure the beanie to your wetsuit’s rear zipper puller. For compatibility, this beanie is designed to fit snugly under most wetsuit collars, though it can be worn independently for open-water swimming. Proper care is essential for natural rubber: always rinse with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt and chlorine. Allow the beanie to air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area—never leave it in direct sunlight or use a heat source, as UV exposure and high heat can cause the natural rubber to degrade or lose its elasticity over time.
