Orca - S6 Wetsuit - Men's

Orca - S6 2017 Wetsuit - Men's

A great all-rounder, the S6 is a solid choice for open water swimmers at a sensible price point.

The Product:

The Orca S6 is formed from one of the most flexible neoprenes available - the more flexibility you have the more natural your technique will feel in the water.

Yamamoto has supplied the neoprene selected, one of the world's most trusted neoprene suppliers, and is highly durable and completely water resistant.

The lining of the suit is made from ‘infinity skin’, a high stretch nylon, placed where you need the flexibility and range of motion most.

These features combined mean you can move as freely as you like, the suit will stand up to the conditions that you have to face, and you will not be weighed down by your suit filling up with water.

The neoprene's structure is designed to repel water, so resistance is reduced – making you faster and helping to prevent fatigue.

Key Features: 

• FLEXIBILITY – the Orca S6 has 2mm underarms to aid flexibility, as this is where you need the most range of movement in the water.
• BUOYANCY – there are two 5mm front and lower back panels for maximum buoyancy. These panels are coated in cells which are completely water resistant - to make you lighter and faster.
• COMFORT – by decreasing the thickness of the panels on the arms and legs, Orca have made the S6 comparatively more comfortable than previous models.
• EASY TRANSITION – because this super smooth suit will not absorb water, removing the suit will be quicker, saving important time and energy.

ORCA'S TECHNOLOGIES

YAMAMOTO

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

39 CELL

Yamamoto 39cell is an extremely flexible neoprene which supports an uninhibited natural swimming motion. 39cell extends to a 513% elongation rate, meaning this material is sure to move with you. Added benefits of zero water absorption and zero weight variation can mean only one thing: more speed. A fine balance between buoyancy and flexibility, 39cell is a durable material which will stand the test of time and distance, representing the best neoprene available in its class.

SCS

Acting as a coating over closed-cell neoprene, 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. The micro-cell structure of the SCS coating repels water when in contact with air and reduces surface resistance when in contact with water. Less friction = more speed!

INFINITY SKIN

It’s what’s on the inside that counts and Orca’s unique InfinitySkin lining plays an integral part in the unbelievable flexibility of their top end wetsuits. Constructed from a high stretch nylon, InfinitySkin is strategically placed where ultimate stretch is required and allows the wetsuit to move dynamically through your swim stroke.

HYDROLITE

HydroLite panels make transition that extra bit faster using the super fast SCS (Nano ICE in the Predator) which combined with a special lining which absorbs less water to improve buoyancy while also being extremely sleek -making the suit fast to remove in transition and saving you precious seconds.
