Orca - SwimRun Calf Guard
SwimRun specific Calf Guards that make up for the lack of buoyancy in the legs.
The Product:
Orca's SwimRun Calf Guards work perfectly with the Shorty Wetsuit by replacing the buoyancy lost in the legs that would normally be provided by a full length wetsuit.
The extra buoyancy in your lower legs also replaces the need for a pull buoy which you would then have to carry around for the run. The calf guards also allow you to kick during the swim whilst also providing extra protection for your legs whilst running through undergrowth or climbing over rocks.
Key Features:
-
BUOYANCY - these calf guards provide the extra flotability that is lost by wearing running shoes during SwimRun competitions. They are made from 10mm thick neoprene with SCS 38 cell treatment to keep your legs from sinking. This hydrophobic, anti-drag coating also helps to increase your speed though the water to reduce your overall time.
- PROTECTION - as well as improving your swimming technique, the guards prevent scratching and bruising to the lower legs that can commonly occur during SwimRun races.
- COMPRESSION - the guards also have compressive qualities that help to reduce muscle fatigue, to enhance your performance and work harder, for longer.

Experimenting with swimrun kit and am finding these really good for the swim buoyancy without impacting on the run movement around the knees.
