Orca Mens Athlex Float Wetsuit - Red Buoyancy

Product Information

Stronger, more experienced swimmers, however, may find their legs are lifted too high by these panels. Triathletes are likely to prefer a neutral buoyancy that will allow the legs to rise and fall in the water more naturally. The wetsuit is made with Metal Cell technology which is unique to Aquaman Triathlon products. This means that the wetsuit was designed with neoprene on the inside and outside. And, to polish off the suit, it is treated with SCS to make it feel and perform smoothly in the water and when it comes it touches your skin. When it comes to swimskins, there are a number of qualities that differentiate it from traditional wetsuits, but one of the ultimate goals is to provide a faster swim speed-faster than even your standard wetsuits provide. Thankfully, the TYR Torque Pro accomplishes this task with flying colors and the TYR company once again provides impressive results. In terms of water absorption, the TYR Torque Pro boasts a great 0.5% absorption rate. In terms of drag, it has a 0.021 drag coefficient which is one of the lowest we saw. Construction Everyone loved the bursts of colour beneath the arms and thought the design was extremely flattering. Look to one of our other options, like this Decathlon number, if you’re heading out in cold conditions, but if you just want some extra protection for your summertime swims or water sports sessions, this is your guy. Of all the companies on our list, few have the pedigree and storied history of Zoot-though it is not necessarily the most popular brand. Instead, this company was founded over 3 decades ago in Kona, Hawaii-the home of the original Ironman Triathlon World Championships. As a company founded by a woman, this brand pays special attention to a woman’s needs and ensures the fit is better than most. Panels

The Yamamoto neoprene construction is exceptionally elastic for an unhindered stroke and works with the high-quality lining to reduce fatigue over long distances. Since your shoulders aren’t connected to your crotch like a one-piece wetsuit, you have more movement in your arms. And, you won’t have to worry if your torso is too long or short like you would for a one-piece wetsuit.

Fit: Quite simply, your wetsuit will be useless if it doesn’t fit snugly – loose areas around the joints are an open invitation for flushing. While a swimskin may not have the insulation of a wetsuit, it should still feature all of the other qualities like body compression, a tight fit, water tightness, and excellent flexibility. It is also worth noting that a swimskin is generally less expensive than a wetsuit-though the highest-end models do not differ too much in terms of cost.

The wetsuit should feel very snug on land and once you get in the water, it loosens up. If it’s a good fit, you might need someone to help you zip-up the suit. When it comes to seams, few wetsuits-regardless type, style or brand-will truly be able to compete with the Synergy Endorphin when it comes to the quality and durability of the wetsuit’s seams. In fairness, this is largely because few wetsuits include as many types of seams in a single product. For instance, the seams are initially triple-stitched which makes this one of the few wetsuits to do so. On top of that, the seams are then chemically bonded and are reinforced with tape at pivotal junctures. Even the zipper is hidden within the seams to help reduce drag. Panels When the water temperature is greater than 78 degrees but less than 84 degrees, age group participants may wear a wetsuit but will not be eligible for prizes or awards. Enhancing Buoyancy

Triathletes who have bought the wetsuit like it because it has a lot of technology that doesn’t weigh down the wetsuit and has many benefits. Most report that they don’t have nearly has many chafing problems as they did in past years and that is mainly because very little water comes into the wetsuit. Those triathletes who swim in open-water year-round said that the wetsuit kept them very warm. The Zoot team really tried to create the best connection between your body and the water with its improved technology. Features

Yamamoto is one of the main materials of the wetsuit, which makes it the most stretchable wetsuit available. This is because tri suits are designed to be easy to pull off once you’re out of the water. They enable greater flexibility for improved dexterity and speed of movement. Maintaining Body HeatThe wetsuit is coated with a silicon skin finish which is the key to speedy swims and reduced drag in the water. ROKA might be one of the more recent companies that we reviewed and it definitely had inauspicious origins, but it is still one of the best triathlon swimsuit manufacturers that we saw. It is also worth noting that this brand has been worn by world title-winning competitors and was featured in the 2016 Olympics. This specific wetsuit is the best swimskin that we saw. Purpose

Most triathlon wetsuits are made with outer skins designed to reduce surface resistance. Triathlon wetsuit outer skins have a silicon type surface which is slippery in the water and improves gliding once again helping you preserve energy for the latter stages of the race. The quality of this outer skin is another key differentiator between high end suits and economical ones. Improves Swimming Technique The wetsuit has two layers of GIGA #40 from Yamamoto; one layer on the inside to give a close fit and the other layer is on the outside. The shoulder area has GIGA #40 so triathletes will have the maximum amount of flexibility. For those who are going to be competing in warmer waters where triathlons do not allow true wetsuits, we recommend either the ROKA for women or the TYR Torque Pro for men. Aside from the fact that these two wetsuits are reasonably priced, they are not even true wetsuits. Instead, these two products are swimskins which is a rule regulated requirement for triathlons run in warmer waters.

Orca Athlex Float Wetsuit

Orca is another brand on our list that may not necessarily have quite as storied a history as some of the other companies on our list, but they have still consistently put out excellent quality wetsuits. In fact, this brand specializes explicitly in wetsuits and other gear for triathlons rather than simply being a swimming gear company. As such, it should come as little surprise that this topped our list as the best women’s all-around value triathlon wetsuit. Hydrophobic
