The i-Run team says
Get results after each open water swimming session with the Orca Apex Float wetsuit for men. Equipped with high-performance materials, it aids in your progression.
Designed for maximum buoyancy, it integrates Exo-Lift and Aerodome 2 technologies. Thanks to this construction of different neoprene layers on the legs, you benefit from great support and ideal posture correction.
The Yamamoto 40+ and 40 PF+ neoprenes on the upper part offer optimal flexibility during your efforts, promoting freedom of movement. With a thickness of 3 mm for the top and 5 mm for the bottom, it ensures perfect thermal insulation.
The Core Lateral Stabilizer system at the chest reduces excessive rotations and helps you maintain an adequate position to exert yourself. To enhance hydrodynamics, the Super Composite Skin process reduces friction with the water.
Our model Julien is 1.78m tall and wears a size 10.

Technologies
-
Super Composite Skin (SCS)
Reduce friction with the water to increase hydrodynamics and thus swimming speed.
-
HydroLite
Allow for easier removal of the suit and make transitions even faster.
-
Core Lateral Stabiliser (CLS)
This system provides additional support at the chest level to prevent excessive rotation and enhance the stability and efficiency of each movement.
-
Aerodome 2
This technology, when applied to the lower body, provides an additional 30% buoyancy. The secret lies in its composition: hundreds of cavities placed between two layers of neoprene.
-
HEP
High Elbow Panel: strategically positioned at the arms to keep the elbow elevated while you swim, thereby providing more stability without restricting flexibility.
-
Construction Exo-Lift
Sandwich construction type that combines a layer of neoprene, Aerodrome technology, and a third layer of inner neoprene with specific treatment that makes the suit even more resistant, with maximum buoyancy and 0% water absorption.
-
Yamamoto 40+
The Yamamoto 40 material is the best non-exclusive neoprene from Orca on the market. The stretch of this neoprene requires 72% less force compared to conventional neoprene. The premium constructions 44+ and 40+ feature the Nano Ice SCS treatment, which enhances hydrodynamics to meet the expectations of the most demanding swimmers, reducing water resistance by 68%.
-
Yamamoto 40 PF+
The high-end design of Orca wetsuits prevents water from circulating through. How? Thanks to a Power-Fit lining, providing a perfect fit for swimmers.
-
Yamamoto 39+
Cutting-edge finishes, premium neoprene, and optimal construction enhance the overall hydrodynamics of the wetsuit, allowing for increased swimming speed.
-
Néoprène Yamamoto
Yamamoto is one of the leading manufacturers of very high-performance neoprene. Its label is synonymous with quality, technology, and innovation. Orca uses Yamamoto neoprene on all its products, a durable, lightweight, and high-performance material. The construction of the panels and the combination of these different high-quality materials position Orca wetsuits at the forefront of the industry.
-
YKK10
YKK10 zippers are highly durable and high-performance components. Their robustness extends their lifespan, and their high quality prevents water from penetrating the suit.
-
Feel The Water FTW
This technology allows the swimmer to feel the water with every arm movement, enhancing the entry into the water. This improves the initial phase of the motion, particularly when the water is choppy in the sea.
