Nyord's New Yulex® Wetsuit - The Story Of Solu

Nyord has always believed that everyone should have access to the best gear, without compromising on sustainability or price.

That’s why we’re so excited to introduce the Solu – our brand new wetsuit range made with Yulex®, natural rubber.

Developed and tested over the past year, Solu is here to offer surfers an eco-friendly wetsuit that performs in the water and treads lightly on the planet.

Why Solu?

Nyord created Solu because we wanted to offer a solution.

For too long, natural rubber wetsuits have come at a price point that makes them out of reach for many surfers.

Nyord believe sustainability should be accessible, so Solu was born from a simple desire: create an eco-friendly wetsuit that doesn’t cost the earth, in every sense.

How Nyord Did It

Working alongside the genius minds at Yulex®, Nyord developed a wetsuit that uses their premium natural rubber, known for its flexibility, durability, and low environmental impact. Every design choice for Solu was intentional – from the panels to the lining – focusing on what a surfer actually needs, and cutting out anything unnecessary.

This keeps the wetsuit high-performing and the cost down, making it a practical choice for every surfer.

Tested by Surfers, Perfected for You

Over the last year, Solu has been rigorously tested in all conditions by our team.

From icy winter sessions in the hooded 6/5/4mm to mellow summer surfs in the 2/2 shorty and long Jane, every suit has been refined to ensure warmth, comfort, flexibility, and longevity.

Nyord didn’t sign off on Solu until they knew it could handle everything a surfer demands from their wetsuit, day in and day out.

Nyord know that in the past, some natural rubber wetsuits have stepped back in feel and performance, it was vital for Nyord to not let that happen.

Working closely with the team at Yulex® and testing these wetsuits for almost a year has resulted in a performance and feel that is a step forward not backwards.

The Solu uses the latest, Yulex® 2.0 natural rubber.

Yulex® 2.0 is a higher performing material that gives our wetsuits world leading performance and sustainability.

Nyord are leaping forward in performance, durability and sustainability with this one big step.
