Orca - RS1 Men's Openwater Swim Wetsuit Top

The optimum choice for flexibility of fit for open water swimmers

This is the perfect choice for open water swimmers who need the semi-custom solution provided by a two-piece wetsuit.

The Openwater RS1 Wetsuit offers unbeatable flexibility in the upper body and good thermal insulation. In addition, the two-piece construction allows you to put on the suit without having to use a zipper, and there are more options when it comes to sizing as two different sizes can be combined for an optimal fit.

Of course, we can also supply the bottoms to match, and you can configure them to your exact size. 

GARMENT FEATURES

Yamamoto 40: This highly flexible neoprene is used in the shoulders and back together with the Infinityskin lining. This material can stretch by up to 130%, more than double its original size, providing maximum performance in your swim stroke. For the wide range of movements that occur in the shoulders, it offers 72% less resistance than a conventional wetsuit.
Thermal Insulation: Yamamoto 39 technology is used in the torso. Its properties ensure sufficient thermal insulation for your workouts in the water. Its 3 mm thickness together with the Infinityskin lining ensure 77% more protection than if you did not wear a wetsuit.
SCS: This coating is applied to the suit to help you glide more easily through the water. This coating minimises water resistance by improving the hydrodynamics of the wetsuit. This coating is 60% less water resistant than a conventional wetsuit, which helps you swim faster.
Velcro seal system: This ensures that both pieces are properly attached. Replacing the traditional zip, the Velcro allows you to attach the two parts together tightly yet to fit them independently. This prevents water from entering through your hip area. This improves hydrodynamics and ensures proper thermal insulation.
Two-piece suit: Giving the wearer the perfect solution to finding the perfect fit. The top and bottom half of the suit can be selected in different sizes and joined together. Giving you the ideal fit for your long swims. The super stretchy material can be easily pulled on and off.
Warm chest panel: 3mm 39cell Yamamoto chest panel provides extra buoyancy and flexibility yet still helps you stay flexible.
