Orca - RS1 Women's Openwater Swim Wetsuit Top

Orca - RS1 Women's Openwater Swim Wetsuit Top

Two pieces could be better than one in helping you find the perfect wetsuit

This top is the perfect choice for you if you swim in open water and need the semi-custom solution provided by a two-piece wetsuit.

The Openwater RS1 Wetsuit in two pieces offers unsurpassed 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 zip.

Extra options to 'mix and match' when it comes to sizing mean you can find an optimal fit. Of course, at MyTriathlon you can buy the RS1 bottoms to match your top at the same time.

GARMENT FEATURES

Yamamoto 40: Yamamoto 40 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 about a quarter of the resistance of a conventional wetsuit.
Two-Piece Construction: A Velcro seal system is used to ensure that both pieces are properly attached. The Velcro allows the two parts to fit together tightly, preventing water from entering through the hip area. This improves hydrodynamics and ensures proper thermal insulation.
Insulating chest panel: 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 garment coating: Helping you move as smoothly as possible through the water, this is a special coating that minimises water resistance by improving the hydrodynamics of the wetsuit. The coating means the RS1 wetsuit top and bottom glide through the water with up to 60% less resistance than a conventional wetsuit - so you can swim faster.
