Product Information

Panellists did report a strange smell when the suit was wet, and the sizing proved hit and miss – make sure you take your measurement before you buy – but those were our only gripes. All in all, an excellent choice for breaststroke aficionados. Triathlon and open water suits have been designed specifically for swimming. We cannot guarantee correct functioning of the wetsuits for other activities. Any damage to the wetsuit resulting from use in activities other than swimming is not covered by our warranty policy. 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. 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.

The new Openwater Core suit is specifically designed for swimming and training in open water as safely as possible. 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.

High visibility panels:To keep you as safe as possible in the water, this wetsuit has been designed with high-visibility neon orange arms that will make you visible to boats and other swimmers, so you can be located at any time.Fit: Quite simply, your wetsuit will be useless if it doesn’t fit snugly – loose areas around the joints are an open invitation for flushing. Stronger, more experienced swimmers, however, may find their legs are lifted too high by these panels. Triathletes are likely to prefer a neutral buoyancy that will allow the legs to rise and fall in the water more naturally. 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.

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. 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? 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 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.
