Orca Mens Openwater Core Wetsuit - Black Hi-Vis - Thermal Warm Heat Layer Layers Easy Stretch Lightweight

Product Information

High visibility panels to keep you as safe as possible in the water, this wetsuit has been designed with a high-visibility orange that will make you visible to boats and other swimmers, so you can be located at any time.

Once clean, make sure prevent it from holding onto too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage the materials. But, be warned: cold water will rush into any baggy areas, causing a deeply unpleasant sensation known as flushing. It really is all about the fit. What should I look for in a wetsuit? The best models fitted like a glove and offered plenty of protection from the cold, allowing our testers to stay in the water for longer. They were stretchy enough to let them swim freely, and they didn’t dig in or chafe.

Orca Core Men's Open Water Hi-Vis Swimming Wetsuit Features

Unlike 'normal' wetsuits, such as those you may use for surfing, wetsuits designed for wild swimming and triathlons are stretchier and extra flexible around the hips, knees and shoulders to help you swim more freely. The new Openwater Core suit is specifically designed for swimming and training in open water as safely as possible.

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. 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 all suits, especially those made with neoprene, be careful not to damage the neoprene material with your nails when putting on or taking off the suit, as this type of damage is not covered by our warranty policy. Skin-tight fit - great fit that prevents any separating from the skin which could cause water flowing into the suit.The best wetsuit for you will depend on what you want to use it for, as competitive triathletes will have more demands than casual paddlers. That said, there are some common key factors to consider. 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.

Our Runner’s World Lab testers took a range of wetsuits out for a series of swims, submerging themselves in ponds, lakes and the sea in the name of research. Orca Core Men's Open Water Hi-Vis Swimming Wetsuit offers great visibility for open water swimming with bright neon orange arms. There is no way you can't stand out in the open water! The 2-2.5mm Yamamoto neoprene coverage provides great freedom of movement in the water and a perfect barrier to the cold water.The winning wetsuits that earned our team's seal of approval are stamped with the Runner's World Expert Tested logo. The new Orca Openwater Core Hi Vis wetsuit is specifically designed for swimming and training in open water as safely as possible. It provides maximum visibility thanks to its bright orange panels. The Infinity Skin 2 inner lining provides a feeling of absolute freedom, designed from a high elasticity nylon incorporating bamboo fibers, this technology is used in the lining of our wetsuit to provide greater flexibility in every stroke. It maintains body heat longer and reduces bad odors and the presence of bacteria in your neoprene. It is also composed of natural and environmentally sustainable materials, to avoid skin irritation and to care for the environment. Everyone loved the bursts of colour beneath the arms and thought the design was extremely flattering. Look to one of our other options, like this Decathlon number, if you’re heading out in cold conditions, but if you just want some extra protection for your summertime swims or water sports sessions, this is your guy. 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.

Serious swimmers, look to one of our other options – panellists felt this one wasn’t high-tech enough for lengthy sessions – but it’s absolutely ideal for recreational swimming and water sports. They are also more buoyant, helping you maintain the best body position in the water and therefore swim more efficiently.
