R3 Yulex Regulator Glove

Yulex is a sustainable natural rubber derived from the guayule plant, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional neoprene, which is petroleum-based. Choosing a wetsuit made with Yulex not only supports environmentally responsible practices but also provides excellent flexibility and comfort, enhancing your overall experience in water sports.

The microgasket is a small, flexible seal located at the cuff of your wetsuit. It creates a snug fit that prevents water from entering the suit, keeping you warmer and more comfortable during your activities. This feature is especially beneficial for maintaining body heat in colder water conditions.

Fully sealed seam construction involves a specialized stitching technique that prevents water from leaking through the seams of your wetsuit. This enhances insulation and overall performance, ensuring you stay warm and dry while enjoying water sports, even in chilly conditions.

Products made with recycled nylon help reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact associated with producing new materials. By opting for gear made from recycled nylon, you contribute to sustainability efforts while still enjoying high-quality, durable outdoor and sports equipment.

A slip-on closure allows for easy and quick donning and doffing of your wetsuit without the hassle of zippers or buttons. This convenience is particularly useful for water sports enthusiasts who need to change in and out of their gear swiftly, making your experience more enjoyable and efficient.

The combination of Yulex material, microgaskets, fully sealed seams, recycled nylon, and slip-on closures work together to provide a wetsuit that is not only comfortable and warm but also environmentally friendly. These features enhance your performance by allowing for greater flexibility, reducing water entry, and ensuring you stay dry and insulated, ultimately improving your overall experience in the water.
