Versatile, the Orca Athlex Flex wetsuit for men is ideal for open water swimming sessions. An evolved version of the Equip model, it is designed for swimmers who can maintain a good position in the water.
Lightweight and durable, the Yamamoto 39 Cell and 39 FS neoprenes offer great flexibility for incredible freedom of movement. The 38+ and 39+ neoprene enhances hydrodynamics and facilitates your speed gain.
The neutral buoyancy allows you to maintain a natural position and focus on your technique. The SCS technology reduces friction while the InfinitySkin lining increases your mobility.
The laser cut protects you from chafing and ensures intense comfort.
Our model Julien is 1.78m tall and wears a size 9.
Key points of the Orca Athlex Flex wetsuit
Reduce friction with the water to increase hydrodynamics and thus swimming speed.
Allow for easier removal of the suit and make transitions even faster.
To avoid any type of abrasion, all our suits have been equipped with a material that combines laser cutting, specialized lining, and reverse velcro.
Equipped with high elasticity, Yamamoto 39 technology can be applied to different areas for mid-range wetsuits. For short and quick movements, the level of force required is 35% lower than with a conventional wetsuit. For short and quick movements, the level of force required is 45% lower than with a conventional wetsuit.
The Infinity Skin 2 inner lining provides an absolute feeling of freedom. Designed from a highly elastic nylon composed of bamboo fibers, this technology is applied to our wetsuits to offer you greater flexibility with every arm movement. It retains body heat longer, reduces bad odors, and prevents the growth of bacteria in your wetsuit. Additionally, it is made from natural and eco-sustainable materials that prevent skin irritations and are not harmful to the environment.
Elasticity, maximum flexibility, and a sensation of total freedom merge thanks to the combination of Yamamoto 39 neoprene, Infinity Skin 2 lining, and Smoothskin surface finish. With these features, the triathlete will be able to exert 35% less force for quick, short arm movements, and 45% less force for slower, wider movements, compared to any other conventional neoprene.
Cutting-edge finishes, premium neoprene, and optimal construction enhance the overall hydrodynamics of the wetsuit, allowing for increased swimming speed.
The Yamamoto 38+ ensures better compression for an optimal fit of the suit, enhancing the comfort of the open water swimmer. The SCS surface treatment is used to maximize the hydrodynamic properties of the suits, reducing friction with the water to allow athletes to swim faster.
Yamamoto is one of the leading manufacturers of very high-performance neoprene. Its label is synonymous with quality, technology, and innovation. Orca uses Yamamoto neoprene on all its products, a durable, lightweight, and high-performance material. The construction of the panels and the combination of these different high-quality materials position Orca wetsuits at the forefront of the industry.
The combination of laser cutting at the neck and collar, along with reverse velcro, reduces friction, preventing the appearance of marks on the skin.
YKK10 zippers are highly durable and high-performance components. Their robustness extends their lifespan, and their high quality prevents water from penetrating the suit.
-60% resistance to water flow. Acting as a coating applied to neoprene, SCS (Super Composite Skin) has become a benchmark in the manufacture of triathlon wetsuits. The result is less friction thanks to its water-repellent action, more flexibility, and resistance to snags. Less friction, more speed.
Maximum flexibility. The Orca Flex range is specifically designed for swimmers who have no technical shortcomings and who maintain a correct horizontal and elevated position in the water. These swimmers need additional flexibility so that their kicking technique is not affected by other factors. The minimal buoyancy of the wetsuits in this range is designed not to alter the position of triathletes, making it important that they naturally have a correct posture in the water. The appropriate materials provide the triathlete with a sensation of freedom in the water and offer, in addition to the necessary thermal insulation, a slight buoyancy to make swimming even more comfortable.
