The i-Run team says
Designed to help you progress, the Orca Athlex Float wetsuit for women is ideal for open water swimming sessions.
The 4.5mm-thick Yamamoto 38+ neoprene in the legs gives you ideal floatability during your efforts. Thanks to this composition, you can maintain a horizontal position for longer and keep your concentration at a maximum.
For complete freedom of movement, Yamamoto 39+ and 39 Cell neoprenes offer high flexibility. This gives you maximum mobility with no constraints. SCS treatment reduces friction and promotes hydrodynamics.
The InfinitySkin lining reduces the risk of irritation and wraps you in comfort. The V-Fit cut is specially designed to meet the specific needs of the female body.
Our model Camille is 1.75m (5'7") tall and is wearing a size M.

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.
-
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.
-
V Fit
Our women's products are not merely adaptations of men's suits. They feature a cut developed exclusively by our athletes to deliver maximum performance.
-
Gamme Float
Maximum buoyancy. The Float range is ideal for those who are new to triathlon or swimming. It is the solution for swimmers who are not completely comfortable in the water and who are looking for a suit that will help them improve their technique. Float offers additional buoyancy for a stable position in the water, significantly enhancing the user's performance. Although flexibility is important, if your technique is not perfect and your arm movement is not precise, buoyancy becomes the most important factor in improving your time.
