The i-Run team says
Enhance your open water swimming experience with the superior thermal comfort of the men's Orca Openwater Zeal Thermal wetsuit.
Comfortable and high-performing, the Thermal-X2 inner lining retains heat and provides effective thermoregulation, allowing you to tackle low temperatures.
Paired with 40 x+ and 39 x2 Yamamoto neoprene, this insulating model offers a feeling of maximum flexibility that adapts to your every movement. The neoprene distribution, varying between 2.5 mm and 5 mm, ensures adequate buoyancy without restricting your mobility.
To further protect you from cold water infiltration, the Batwing construction at the neck, extremities, and zipper enhances thermal insulation.
For added well-being, the Ultimate Seal Collar technology minimizes friction by combining a laser-cut neck with an inverted hook-and-loop band.
Conveniently, the HydroLite process makes it easy to remove the wetsuit, saving you precious time.
Our model Aymeric is 1.80m tall and wears a size 9.

HydroLite
Allow for easier removal of the suit and make transitions even faster.
-
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.
-
Construction Batwing
Consisting of a second layer of neoprene, the Batwing construction prevents water that seeps through the zipper from coming into direct contact with the body, retaining a layer of warm water inside. It also ensures an ideal fit around the neck to reduce chafing and water flow from the neck into the wetsuit.
