About Gul

 
  100% performance is all you can expect from Gul International. Based in Britain they have a reputation as a manufacturer of quality technical wetsuits for surf, marine and dinghy.  
  Gul is working tirelessly to improve their garments using only the very best materials. Below you will find details of some of the materials you can expect to find in the Gul range.  
     
 
Airprene

Soft breathable neoprene providing flexibility and comfort. Airprene is vented but maintains insulation. Durability and comfort are provided through the nylon lining.  
 
     
 
Dryfast

DRYFAST is PONTETORTO's unique moisture management system. The demand for more technical performance grows because technical sportswear grows.

We named the system DRYFAST because it vastly improves the technical drying ability on any fabric to which it is applied. It dries quickly, but most importantly it keeps the body dry from moisture.

DRYFAST works because it makes fibers hydrophilic (moisture loving) so they can absorb, wick and evaporate moisture for increased comfort in aerobic activity.

 
 

 

 
 
Dura-tex

Highly abrasion resistant dura-tex nylons increase the lifespan of the garment. Dura-tex is an ultra durable protective material that is created by applying a resin coating to the outer surface of a double knit nylon. This coating can increase resistance to abrasion by up to
4-5 times.

 
 
     
 
DWR plus

DWR+ is a durable hydrophobic coating that causes water to bead and run off fabrics. When coated to the outer layer of fabrics it substantially reduces the natural water absorption of the garment whilst making it easier to clean.  
 
     
 
Flatlock Stitch

Wetsuit neoprene is lapped together and then stitched, this creates a flat, flexible and comfortable seam. Flatlock stitching can be identified by a band of interlocked thread on both sides of the wetsuit, sometimes utilising a coloured thread for visual effect.
 
     
 
Flexi Dry

This is a 4-way stretch fabric with super efficient hydrophilic properties which wicks moisture away from the skin. These two characteristics mean a snug skin-tight fit perfect for comfortable underwear which keeps you warm and dry.
 
     
 
GCX Tech

GCX 3 BREATHABLE
BREATHABLE.WATERPROOF.WINDPROOF
OUR MOST DURABLE, WATERPROOF AND BREATHABLE FABRIC.
Tested in extreme conditions this technology has proven to protect the wearer whilst actively participating in extreme sailing. GCX3 is a three-layer system consisting of a woven nylon outer shell fabric giving protection and durability. The mid layer is a microporous membrane which eliminates water penetration whilst allowing water vapour to escape. The inner layer is a polyester tricot, which protects the breathable membrane against abrasion whilst providing the wearer additional comfort. GCX3 three layer fabrics are available in different weights to suit different applications.

GCX 2 BREATHABLE
BREATHABLE.WATERPROOF.WINDPROOF
LIGHTER WEIGHT BREATHABLE AND WATERPROOF FABRICS.
GCX2 gives the wearer comfort and protection from the elements whilst sailing. The outer layer consists of a woven polyester or nylon shell that gives protection and durability. The inner layer is a microporous membrane which eliminates water penetration whilst allowing water vapour to escape. GCX2 fabric is reliable throughout strenuous movement and allows excess heat and moisture to move away from the body.

GCX WATERPROOF
WATERPROOF.WINDPROOF
LIGHTWEIGHT WATERPROOF FABRICS.
GCX Waterproof and Windproof fabrics are conventional coated fabrics consisting of two combined layers. The inner layer consists of a polyurethane coating that eliminates water penetration. The high tenacity Nylon outer layer provides a highly durable fabric that stays waterproof and windproof throughout strenuous movement.

Micro

These fabrics give you the greatest comfort for the lightest weight. In the manufacturing of our microfibers we use yarns with more than 250 filaments in a space of half a millimeter. Packed tightly, these incredibly soft filaments give you the hand of cashmere. We think we have the most luxurious microfiber available. These fabrics are perfect for all base layering uses.
 
     
 
No Wind

The ultimate Windproof membrane of this generation.
The latest novelty from Pontetorto Sportsystem is a membrane the offers total protection against the wind with a guarantee of the best windproofness and breathability.
We laminate our fabrics with a windproof membrane and make it perform at the highest levels for competitive, active and casual sport without sacrificing lightness, comfort, thermal regulation, hand or finish.
No wind keeps the heat in, allows moisture out.

 
     
 
Quick Dry Micro Fibre

This is a breathable lightweight insulating fabric which represents a superior alternative to polyester fleece due to its enhanced drying and wicking characteristics. The result is a lighter weight garment offering increased performance due to its ability to keep the user dry and warm under extreme conditions.
 
     
 
T2 Neoprene

T2 neoprene is second generation of titanium technology and it is used in the main body panels of most of our wetsuits. T2 neoprene acts in a similar way to a survival blanket, a titanium impregnated reflective layer is sandwiched between the neoprene and the interior nylon lining of the wetsuit, this lining reflects body heat on the inside back to the body.
