Orca Athlex Flex Women's Triathlon Fullsleeve Wetsuit

The Athlex Flex is a new (r)evolution of the Orca Equip. The ATHLEX line turns energy into momentum. Watch yourself improve every day and see you body and mind get stronger with each stroke. Athlex is the perfect range for those looking to chart their own path. The FLEX range is specifically designed for swimmers without technical deficiencies who can maintain a correct body position in the water, horizontal and elevated. These swimmers need extra flexibility so that their kicking technique is not affected by other factors. The minimal buoyancy used in this range is designed not to alter the position of these triathletes, since it is important that they naturally have the correct positioning in the water. Using the right materials, the triathlete achieves the feeling of freedom in the water and is provided, in addition to the necessary thermal insulation, slight buoyancy, to make swimming even more comfortable. The ATHLEX FLEX is Orca’s most flexible mid-range wetsuit, replacing the Equip model. It is designed for the most technical swimmers, those who benefit from more flexibility and do not need extra buoyancy. Utilizing flexible materials with hydrodynamic properties make it the chosen wetsuit for the best more technical open water swimmers.

• The increased flexibility of Yamamoto 39 neoprene, combined with the high elasticity of Inifinty Skin 2 lining, provides open water swimmers with maximum freedom of movement. Thanks to this combination, 35% less force is required in fast movements than in conventional neoprene. For slow movements and wider strokes, 45% less force is required than in conventional neoprene. SCS coating also helps reduce friction and water resistance, improving hydrodynamics and increasing speed.
• Elasticity, maximum flexibility and total freedom of movement are brought together thanks to the combination of Yamamoto 39 neoprene, Infinity Skin 2 lining and Smoothskin surface finish. With this combination, the open water swimmer will use 35% less force in fast movements and short strokes, while slower and wider movements will require 45% less force than any other conventional neoprene
• Yamamoto 38 provides more compression for a better fitting wetsuit, for greater comfort when swimming in open water. For greater hydrodynamics, SCS coating is used which reduces water resistance, increasing speed.
