The i-Run team says
Balanced, the Orca Athlex Flow wetsuit for men offers you the means to progress quickly during your open water swimming sessions.
Focused on flexibility, the upper part is equipped with Yamamoto 39 FS and 39 Cell neoprene. This gives you great freedom of movement and better arm mobility.
The Aerodome 2 technology and Yamamoto 39+ neoprene in the leg area provide you with optimal buoyancy for good stability during your efforts. The SCS technology reduces friction with the water and ensures a powerful hydrodynamic effect.
The Ultimate Seal Collar laser cut reduces friction and improves your comfort while the InfinitySkin 2 lining guarantees thermal insulation.
Our model Julien is 1.78 meters tall and wears a size 9.

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.
-
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.
-
Ultimate Seal Collar
To avoid any type of abrasion, all our suits have been equipped with a material that combines laser cutting, specialized lining, and reverse velcro.
-
Yamamoto 39 Cell
Equipped with high elasticity, Yamamoto 39 technology can be applied to different areas for mid-range wetsuits. For short and quick movements, the level of force required is 35% lower than with a conventional wetsuit. For short and quick movements, the level of force required is 45% lower than with a conventional wetsuit.
-
Infinity Skin 2
The Infinity Skin 2 inner lining provides an absolute feeling of freedom. Designed from a highly elastic nylon composed of bamboo fibers, this technology is applied to our wetsuits to offer you greater flexibility with every arm movement. It retains body heat longer, reduces bad odors, and prevents the growth of bacteria in your wetsuit. Additionally, it is made from natural and eco-sustainable materials that prevent skin irritations and are not harmful to the environment.
-
Yamamoto 39FS
Elasticity, maximum flexibility, and a sensation of total freedom merge thanks to the combination of Yamamoto 39 neoprene, Infinity Skin 2 lining, and Smoothskin surface finish. With these features, the triathlete will be able to exert 35% less force for quick, short arm movements, and 45% less force for slower, wider movements, compared to any other conventional neoprene.
-
Yamamoto 39+
Cutting-edge finishes, premium neoprene, and optimal construction enhance the overall hydrodynamics of the wetsuit, allowing for increased swimming speed.
-
Yamamoto 38+
The Yamamoto 38+ ensures better compression for an optimal fit of the suit, enhancing the comfort of the open water swimmer. The SCS surface treatment is used to maximize the hydrodynamic properties of the suits, reducing friction with the water to allow athletes to swim faster.
-
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.
-
USC - Ultimate Seal Collar
The combination of laser cutting at the neck and collar, along with reverse velcro, reduces friction, preventing the appearance of marks on the skin.
-
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.
-
SCS
-60% resistance to water flow. Acting as a coating applied to neoprene, SCS (Super Composite Skin) has become a benchmark in the manufacture of triathlon wetsuits. The result is less friction thanks to its water-repellent action, more flexibility, and resistance to snags. Less friction, more speed.
-
Gamme Flow
Flexibility and buoyancy. The "Flow" type swimmer makes small errors in their kicking technique. Buoyancy helps correct these shortcomings by raising the swimmer's legs to achieve a more efficient horizontal position. Furthermore, since they do not have deficiencies in the upper body, they need flexibility in this area to avoid altering their arm movements. Orca offers an intermediate solution between the Flex range and the Float range: the Flow range. A combination of both to optimize performance, with maximum flexibility on the upper torso (the same as that incorporated in the Flex range) and maximum buoyancy on the lower torso (as applied in the Float range). Swimmers targeted by this range need a combination of buoyancy and flexibility, so that each element acts on the specific area where the user needs it based on their technique.
