The i-Run team says

The Orca Apex Float V2 wetsuit for women is designed for open water swimmers and long-distance triathletes. It helps improve your swimming technique and provides a pleasant and faster experience in the water.

Designed to maximize your performance, it incorporates cutting-edge technologies such as Exo-Lift and Aerodome 2. These innovations ensure maximum buoyancy and help correct your posture to provide precise support during your efforts. They promote a stable and hydrodynamic position to minimize fatigue and keep you focused on your goals.

The Yamamoto 40+ neoprene on the shoulders ensures optimal flexibility, promoting great arm mobility. The Yamamoto 39+ neoprene on the lower part optimizes buoyancy and provides effective thermal insulation.

The improved shoulder fit, thanks to Dynamic Shoulder Fit technology, reduces tension and offers optimal freedom of movement. The absence of graphics enhances flexibility and ensures more natural and fluid swimming, without restrictions.

Thinner and more flexible, the innovative YKK8 closure reduces water infiltration and offers better waterproofing. It facilitates donning and removal during quick transitions in triathlons or competitions.

Technologies

Super Composite Skin (SCS)

Reduce friction with the water to increase hydrodynamics and thus swimming speed.

HydroLite

Allow for easier removal of the suit and make transitions even faster.

Core Lateral Stabiliser (CLS)

This system provides additional support at the chest level to prevent excessive rotation and enhance the stability and efficiency of each movement.

Aerodome 2

This technology, when applied to the lower body, provides an additional 30% buoyancy. The secret lies in its composition: hundreds of cavities placed between two layers of neoprene.

HEP

High Elbow Panel: strategically positioned at the arms to keep the elbow elevated while you swim, thereby providing more stability without restricting flexibility.

Construction Exo-Lift

Sandwich construction type that combines a layer of neoprene, Aerodrome technology, and a third layer of inner neoprene with specific treatment that makes the suit even more resistant, with maximum buoyancy and 0% water absorption.

Yamamoto 39FS

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.

Yamamoto 40+

The Yamamoto 40 material is the best non-exclusive neoprene from Orca on the market. The stretch of this neoprene requires 72% less force compared to conventional neoprene. The premium constructions 44+ and 40+ feature the Nano Ice SCS treatment, which enhances hydrodynamics to meet the expectations of the most demanding swimmers, reducing water resistance by 68%.

Yamamoto 40 PF+

The high-end design of Orca wetsuits prevents water from circulating through. How? Thanks to a Power-Fit lining, providing a perfect fit for swimmers.

Yamamoto 39+

Cutting-edge finishes, premium neoprene, and optimal construction enhance the overall hydrodynamics of the wetsuit, allowing for increased swimming speed.

N�opr�ne Yamamoto

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.

V Fit

Our women's products are not merely adaptations of men's suits. They feature a cut developed exclusively by our athletes to deliver maximum performance.

YKK 8

Flexible materials allow the use of the YKK 8 zipper, which is smaller than those integrated into most wetsuits, to improve elasticity and reduce water resistance while swimming.

Feel The Water FTW

This technology allows the swimmer to feel the water with every arm movement, enhancing the entry into the water. This improves the initial phase of the motion, particularly when the water is choppy in the sea.

Gamme Float

Maximum buoyancy. The Float range is ideal for those who are new to triathlon or swimming. It is the solution for swimmers who are not completely comfortable in the water and who are looking for a suit that will help them improve their technique. Float offers additional buoyancy for a stable position in the water, significantly enhancing the user's performance. Although flexibility is important, if your technique is not perfect and your arm movement is not precise, buoyancy becomes the most important factor in improving your time.
