The i-Run team says
Designed for experienced swimmers capable of maintaining a good position in the water, the Orca Athlex Flex V2 wetsuit for women focuses on flexibility and neutral buoyancy to offer a natural and fluid swim in open water.
The presence of Yamamoto 39FS neoprene, combined with the Infinity Skin lining, offers you maximum elasticity. The upper body gains flexibility, allowing for a freer swim. The absence of graphics on the shoulders optimizes the range of motion for a total feeling of freedom.
With neutral buoyancy, it allows you to maintain a natural position to better focus on swimming technique. The medium-thickness Yamamoto 38+ positioned on the legs helps maintain balance and preserves mobility.
Its optimized and fitted cut combined with the SCS treatment enhances your glide and reinforces the hydrodynamic properties.
The Hydrolite technology allows for quick removal of the neoprene, useful during transition phases, while the YKK10 zipper guarantees optimal durability.

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.
-
Ultimate Seal Collar
To avoid any type of abrasion, all our suits have been equipped with a material that combines laser cutting, specialized lining, and reverse velcro.
-
Infinity Skin 2
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.
-
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 39+
Cutting-edge finishes, premium neoprene, and optimal construction enhance the overall hydrodynamics of the wetsuit, allowing for increased swimming speed.
-
Yamamoto 38+
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.
-
Néoprène 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.
-
USC - Ultimate Seal Collar
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
YKK10 zippers are highly durable and high-performance components. Their robustness extends their lifespan, and their high quality prevents water from penetrating the suit.
-
SCS
-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.
-
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.
-
Gamme Flex
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.
-
Smoothskin
Thanks to the "Smoothskin" finish (soft skin), the neoprene retains good hydrodynamic properties.
