Orca - Zeal Openwater Thermal Wetsuit - Women's

Comfort and Warmth Against the Harshest of Waters

Conquer cold waters with confidence! One of the most thermally insulate wetsuits in Orca's range - purposefully built for extreme cold conditions. With advanced thermal technology, superior buoyancy, and a flexible fit, it's the ideal choice for serious athletes tackling chilly climates that still want to have an advanced wetsuit. 

Why Choose the Zeal Thermal?

Superior Thermal Insulation

Featuring Thermal X2 inner lining and a second "Batwing" neoprene layer around the neck and zipper to block cold water entry.

Deep 5mm Thickness

Strategic placement of 5mm neoprene panels across the torso delivers exceptional insulation and high buoyancy, yet remains flexible thanks to the high stretch Yamamoto 40+ technology. 

High and Neutral Buoyancy

The very thick panels located in the torso provide a high level of buoyancy, for safety in open-water conditions, whilst its combination keeps it neutral throughout the suit.

Strong Flexibility in Harsh Conditions

Yamamoto 40+ neoprene provides stretch comparable to thinner suits, maintaining ease of movement even with its thermal properties.

Comfort Tailored for Cold Water

Close-fitting limbs and neck cuffs paired with soft Thermal X and X2 liners ensure extended comfort even during long exposure swims. 

Who is it Made For?

• Open water swimmers who are consistently in a cold climate (below 10-15°C)
• Triathletes competing in autumn/winter competitions or open-water swim races 
• Endurance athletes requiring maximum insulation & longevity
