Orca - Alpha Women's Wetsuit - *

The moat flexible suit out there, perfect for natural swimmers

A clutch of innovative new technologies come together to make the Orca Women's Alpha Wetsuit the most flexible you can buy.

Yamamoto 0.88 in the arms, and Yamamoto 44 in the shoulders and back, give the new Alpha wetsuit its field-leading properties. You'll also particularly appreciate the extra flexibility during your first transition, and be able to fly through all your subsequent transitions.

A new, shorter reverse zip system, which doesn’t limit your stroke, is the main weapon in achieving this leading level of natural feel. That's why the Orca Alpha is he perfect weapon for natural swimmers, who come from a swimming background and have a naturally good swimming technique, with no significant flaws.

If you fall into this category, you can now concentrate on what really matters - swimming without limits.

THE TECHNOLOGIES

• 

  YAMAMOTO

  The Yamamoto Corporation is the world’s main supplier of high-performance neoprene. Its seal signifies quality, technology and innovation.

• 

  0.88 FREE

  0.88 Free technology has been developed together with Yamamoto exclusively for Orca, with the aim of producing the most elastic material available today. The construction of five layers of neoprene, combined with a warm, reflective titanium skin, is the secret to achieving the great thermal insulation of this lightweight material. Used to make the thinnest wetsuit on the market at only 0.5mm thick, it combines the best lining with a layer of titanium to provide better thermal insulation. 

• 

  44 CELL

  This material, exclusively from Orca, is Yamamoto’s most elastic version of those used in wetsuits, with a thickness of 1.5mm. The use of this flexible element makes it possible for a suit to have a smaller zip than on the rest of the wetsuits in the market. A smaller zip is less restrictive and improves the impermeability of your gear.

• 

  NANO SCS

  Super Composite Skin (SCS) has become the benchmark for coating the smoothskin neoprene used in triathlon wetsuits, to reduce friction and increase speed through the water. Orca uses Yamamoto Corporation’s latest Nano SCS for an even lower drag co-efficient, ensuring the fastest swim possible. The underwater co-efficient of dynamic friction of the Nano SCS is 0.026, compared to 4.0 for regular neoprene. Less friction = more speed!

• 

  HYDROLITE

  The HydroLite panels help the wetsuit come off more easily, for faster transitions. This technology, combined with the SCS coating, helps water slide off your wetsuit, without permeating it, considerably improving your hydrodynamics.

• 

  INFINITY SKIN

  The inner Infinity Skin lining provides the feeling of absolute freedom. Designed based on a high-elasticity nylon that incorporates bamboo fibres, this technology is applied to the lining of all Orca wetsuits to offer you greater flexibility with each stroke. This cloth retains body heat longer, and in the process reduces body odour and the appearance of bacteria in your wetsuit. It is also made from natural eco-friendly materials to prevent the appearance of skin irritation and care for the environment.

• 

  FT1

  This new technology, exclusively from Orca, consists of ribbed neoprene. It's used for the lower joints to achieve maximum elasticity during the race. Your transitions have never been so fast.
