Skin-tight fit - great fit that prevents any separating from the skin which could cause water flowing into the suit. HIGH VISIBILITY - For the utmost safety in the water, the HI-VIS has been designed with a high-visibility orange colour that makes it easy for boats, surfers and other swimmers to locate you. Previously known as the Orca S7 and renamed the Athlex Float as part of a rebrand by Orca this spring, this high-elasticity suit is designed to give swimmers who need it extra buoyancy in the water. Flexibility: Wetsuits for open water swimming should have plenty of stretch around the knees, hips and shoulders. If you can’t raise your arm past your ear, then front crawl is a no-go.

FLEXIBILITY - The highly elastic materials used in this wetsuit will provide you with more flexibility for your swim stroke and allow you to swim without restricting your movements. For swimming in Britain, a 2.5mm torso is best suited to tepid summer waters, 3.5 or 4mm will keep you cosy in spring and autumn, and 5mm will help keep the cold at bay in winter (providing there’s not a dusting of snow on the beach).Flexibility: For more movement in all phases of the swim stroke, Yamamoto 39 neoprene is used together with 2mm Infinityskin high-end lining. This material has a high elasticity which means it's used in different areas of mid-range wetsuits, because it needs between as much as 45% less force to stretch than conventional neoprene. Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being stretched for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance. Skin-tight fit: The 2.5mm Yamamoto 38 material is used in the torso and legs. This technology provides good thermal insulation and a good fit to all areas of your body, preventing the neoprene from separating from your skin and water flowing into the suit. Orca has created a range of products that are intended to meet each individual's needs, their swimming style and budget. By focussing on several key areas, their ultimate aim is to make you move faster in the water.
