Why We Couldn't Wait For The Huub 3.8

Why We Couldn't Wait For The Huub 3.8

Posted by Matthew Prudhoe on 29th Mar 2019

Orca's 2019 version of their 3.8 Enduro is a compelling choice for the progressive swimmer, with it's buoyancy properties making it a great option for those who have trouble 'keeping it up' in the water.

Design-wise, the suit hasn't changed much from last year. It's already sleek look has been minimised even further through the coloured stripes being made less poppy, with more of an accented look to it. The suit is black with orange highlights for men, and red for women, and we think it is a sure improvement on last years.

So what makes the suit so good you ask? First of all it's the buoyancy properties that I mentioned earlier: Orca went ahead and put their High Elbow Panel technology into the suit, which means your arms are more uplifted in the water allowing better stability control. They haven't just guessed with it either, it was the result of numerous biomechanical studies that proved it worked without reducing flexibility.

1.5mm 40-Cell neoprene has been used for the suit's construction which means flexibility is not an issue. For your comforts, the neck area has been lined to reduce chances of chafing, which is of course, always nice.

Finally, the speed of the suit is impressive alone with the Yamamoto 39-cell SCS coating, removing some friction between you and the water allowing you to propel to the finish with ease.
