Orca - Women's RS1 SwimRun Shorty Wetsuit

The Product:

The SwimRun Shorty is essentially the precursor to the RS1. It has been designed with flexibility in mind and can be worn for both the swim and the run section of a triathlon. It uses varying thickness of neoprene to support you and allow you freedom of movement where you need it; for example the arm and crotch panels are just 2mm to prevent bulky materials slowing you down.

This means you are protected and insulated: the buoyancy from the neoprene also helps to promote good posture in the water and support your core – the front leg panels are 7mm neoprene.

The suit’s rear has been treated with anti-abrasion technology so that any small scratches or falls will not inhibit the level of protection and support the suit gives. Once you are out of the water, there are front and back zips so that you can undo it as you wish once you are running; or remove it completely quickly and easily.

Key Features: 

• VERSATILE ARMS – this suit comes with guidelines so that you can trim the suit’s arms down to fit to you.
• POCKET – this can be used to house a GPS system or other small items which you may need during your swim and run.
• WATERPROOF – a completely impermeable suit means that your weight will not vary and thus affect your stroke or time.
• FLEXIBLE – the suit has different materials throughout, and in the places where you need flexibility the most there is a stretchy nylon to promote freedom of movement. In areas such as the shoulders, arms and crotch the neoprene is 1.5mm and 2mm respectively.
• BUOYANCY - the suit has 7mm front leg panels to improve your posture when swimming and to keep you warm.

• DURABLE – the lower rear panel of the suit has been treated with DuraSkin technology. This means that your suit will be protected if it is scratched or if you fall.
