ORCA Apex Float Wetsuit Women red buoyancy

The Apex Float wetsuit is the wetsuit with the highest buoyancy in the ORCA range. This wetsuit incorporates specific technologies for maximum buoyancy and correction of technique, helping swimmers who need support to maintain a hydrodynamic position in open water. It also incorporates highly elastic materials in the upper body, allowing for unrestricted swim strokes.

39FS
Maximum flexibility, stretch and freedom of movement are achieved through the combination of Yamamoto 39 neoprene, Infinity Skin 2 lining and Smoothskin finish. This means triathletes need 35% less power for fast movements and shorter pulls, while slower and longer arm pulls require 45% less power than any other conventional wetsuit.

V Fit
Wetsuits for women at Orca are also designed specifically for the female body to enhance both performance and comfort. A better fit allows the materials to work within their optimum stretch range.

YKK8
The YKK 8 has a narrower width than standard zips. This allows for greater flexibility of the back panel and limits additional water penetration.

Exolift
Exolift is a sandwich construction that combines an outer layer of neoprene with the hydrodynamic Nano Ice SCS treatment, Aerodome technology and a third layer of specially treated neoprene on the inside. This combination ensures maximum buoyancy and 0% water absorption of the material. A little help that enables even tired athletes to maintain an ideal water position at all times.

Aerodome
This technology, which is used in the lower torso area, provides swimmers with 30% more buoyancy than conventional neoprene. The secret lies in its construction: Hundreds of cavities located between two specially treated layers of neoprene. The inner layer is made of a high-quality material with low water absorption, which gives the neoprene more elasticity. On the outside, an SCS surface coating is applied to improve hydrodynamics.

40+
Yamamoto 40 neoprene is combined here with highly elastic Infinity Skin 2 lining and SCS surface treatment. The smooth surface created by the SCS coating reduces water resistance, improves hydrodynamics and provides more speed.

40 PF+
Power-fit compression lining is combined here with Yamamoto 40, from Orca's high-end models, and Nano-Ice SCS coating. The result is a perfect fit on the torso and back, which ensures that no water penetrates the wetsuit, thus providing improved hydrodynamics. The Nano Ice SCS coating reduces friction loss in the water by 68% compared to conventional neoprene.

Yamamoto 39 neoprene is combined here with highly elastic Infinity Skin 2 lining and SCS surface treatment. The smooth surface created by the SCS coating reduces water resistance, improves hydrodynamics and provides more speed.

USC
In combination with the Hydrolite lining, the laser-cut collar seals the wetsuit and prevents chafing. Since no water can penetrate, swimmers benefit from better protection against the cold.

HEP
The buoyant High Elbow Panel helps maintain a "high elbow" during the arm stroke and improves water position. Based on numerous biomechanical studies to improve swimming stability, this panel has been strategically placed so as not to restrict mobility.

FTW
The Feel The Water (FTW) panel utilises 0.88 Free technology in the forearm, and increases sensitivity in the grip phase. This helps swimmers make an effective arm stroke and maintain a better water position.
