The i-Run team says
The Orca Zeal Openwater Hi-Vis wetsuit for men is designed to accompany you confidently during your most challenging open water sessions.
The Yamamoto 39+ neoprene offers exceptional freedom of movement and reduces water resistance for optimal hydrodynamics. The associated 39HV neoprene provides extra visibility thanks to its bright color.
The Aerodome 2 technology on the lower part of the chest increases buoyancy. The USC process allows for a laser-cut collar for less chafing.
The YKK10 zipper and Batwing innovation prevent water from entering, ensuring absolute comfort in all circumstances.
Our model Arnaud is 1.89m tall and wears size 10.

Technologies
-
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.
-
Yamamoto 39+
Cutting-edge finishes, premium neoprene, and optimal construction enhance the overall hydrodynamics of the wetsuit, allowing for increased swimming speed.
-
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.
-
Batwing
To prevent heat loss on the back due to the zipper, the Batwing construction features a second layer of neoprene. This layer prevents the water that seeps through the zipper from making direct contact with the body, retaining a layer of warm water inside. It also ensures an ideal fit around the neck to reduce friction and the flow of water from the neck into the wetsuit.
-
Yamamoto 39HV
High visibility and a sensation of total freedom merge thanks to the combination of neoprene, Infinity Skin 2 lining, and high-visibility His-Vis outer textile. This combination allows the open water swimmer to experience unrestricted arm movements. Additionally, the high-visibility textile enhances safety.
