Orca Wetsuit Explanation

Posted by Ally Wall on 17th Apr 2024

Born in the Ocean Wild & Free

Orca is inspired by the sea and an enduring spirit of freedom.

'Chasing Epic' is the essence of the whole brand, granting its users the ability to seek the moments in life that makes us feel truly alive and connected to the beauty of the world. 

There's something about being immersed in the open water the delves into your skin and spreads to your soul, making you feel at home. 

Orca recognises this and makes sure that your connection to the water is not severed. 

The Difference Between Apex and Athlex Wetsuits

Orca's 2 main wetsuit ranges are the Apex and the Athlex. 

The Athlex range is designed for the triathletes who want to work on their technique and keep improving every day. Enjoyment is still a key factor though and, as a bonus, they don't break the bank! You're not going to break any records with this range, but you will see a difference in your personal performance.

The Apex range is designed for the triathletes who are looking for the best of the best. If you want to strive to unleash your full potential and make every second count, this is the range for you. You will get the most out of every stroke you do. No limitations, no restrictions. 

Flex, Float and Flow - What's the Difference? 

Once you know the difference between Apex and Athlex, the next hurdle is the 'subsections' that Orca has. Orca has 3 sections, Flex, Float and Flow.

Flex - Maximum flexibility for no restriction

Float - Maximum buoyancy for the extra assistance

Flow -  The best of both worlds combined together

Flex is the Name and it's also the Game

Specifically designed for swimmers that don't need that extra assistance maintaining a horizontal position in the water. The flex range is for the people who want to move as freely as they can.

Apex Flex - Made for the triathletes who need/want as much flexibility and speed as possible

Athlex Flex - Suitable for those who have some swimming experience and want to have a comfortable experience whilst in the water

Float to your Goals

The Float family is perfect for those just starting out! If you don't feel completely comfortable in the water and want that extra hand to get afloat, this range may be for you.

Apex Float - A triathlete looking for the most support possible whilst in the water, trying to save as much energy as possible in the legs for the cycling and run performance

Athlex Float - Designed for beginners who need as much support as possible with their swimming to build up their strength 

Flow with the Ocean

If you want to see your full potential in the water whilst also conserving as much energy as possible, the flow was made for you. 

Apex Flow - A triathlete looking to save time and energy whilst in the water. They want the best position on the podium.

Athlex Flow - The wetsuit that is the perfect balance between buoyancy and flexibility with technical features alongside. This option is the best budget friendly suit on the market.
