The Orca Athlex Float Triathlon Wetsuit (formerly S7) is undoubtedly the most versatile and popular model in the Orca range. Ideal for all budgets, this triathlon wetsuit is ideal for all triathlon distances and all swimming levels. It offers a perfect blend of buoyancy, swimming comfort and elasticity thanks to its Japanese Yamamoto neoprene, a benchmark in triathlon.
Triathlon wetsuit Athlex Float the (re)evolved version of the combination Orca S7.
Athlex Float combines high buoyancy and elasticity: a very balanced combination, ideal for swimmers who need additional buoyancy to correct their posture in the water and a very high elasticity in the arms. Fine materials on the upper part of the bust and thick on the legs allow the swimmer to approach triathlon tests with confidence and over all distances.
This Wetsuit incorporates specific technologies for maximum buoyancy and to help correct the technique, allowing swimmers to maintain a hydrodynamic posture in open water. It also incorporates highly stretchable materials on the upper part of the bust, which promotes freedom of movement at arm level.
This best seller replaces the model Orca S7 incorporating new neoprene technologies (Yamamoto 39 FS and 39+...) and interior jersey (Infinity Skin 2 lighter). Orca Athlex Float is the ideal solution for "Progressive Swimmer " (swimmers looking for maximum leg buoyancy and pelvis), which requires more buoyancy at the bottom of the body and flexibility at the top of the body. Thus, it raises the position of the triathlete in the water, but retains the necessary flexibility during arm movements. The elasticity of the arms and torso is simply incredible.
Based on the expertise and experience of the pro triathletes, this combination is perfect for those who want to go further and faster!

Innovations:
-Yamamoto Neoprene : Yamamoto is one of the leading manufacturers of very high performance neoprene. Its label stands for quality, technology and innovation. On all its products, Orca uses Yamamoto neoprene, a durable, lightweight and powerful material. The construction of the inserts and the association of these different high quality materials position the combinations Orca at the cutting edge of industry
-Yamamoto Neoprene 39+ : The high flexibility of the Yamamoto 39 neoprene, combined with the elasticity of the Infinity Skin 2 lining, gives a sensation of maximum freedom. Thanks to this combination, rapid movements require 35% less force than conventional combinations. For slower and wider arm movements, 45% strength can be saved compared to a conventional combination. In addition, the SCS surface treatment helps reduce resistance and friction with water, which improves the hydrodynamics of the combination and allows the swimmer to move faster.
-Yamamoto neoprene 39 FS : Elasticity, maximum flexibility and feeling of total freedom are at the meeting thanks to the combination of the Yamamoto 39 neoprene, Infinity Skin 2 lining and Smoothskin surface finish. With this combination, the swimmer will have to exercise 35 per cent less force to perform fast and short arm movements, and 45 per cent less force for slower and larger movements, compared to any other conventional combination
-Yamamoto Neoprene 38+ : The Yamamoto 38 + ensures better compression for optimal combination adjustment, promoting the comfort of the free water swimmer. SCS surface treatment is used to maximize the hydrodynamic properties of combinations, reducing friction with water to allow athletes to swim faster.
-Flotability = A unique insert on the lower belly and in front of the thighs Yamamoto SCS 5 mms ensures maximum buoyancy and great freedom of movement in water. The wetsuit Orca Athlex Float helps you to correct your position by raising it to the maximum. The 3.5 mm thick insert, located on the torso, avoids the instability of the body which can be caused by incorrect breathing
-Swiss= The front part of the combination is made of Yamamoto neoprene with a coating SCS In order to reduce friction when you swim what allows you to be faster thanks to a better slide and incredible flexibility
-Low= Pieces inyamamoto neoprene 39+ SCS2 mm in shoulders and arms, combined with an inner Jersey Infinity Skin2 which provides extraordinary freedom of movement and flexibility
-SCS= Acting as a coating applied on the neoprene, the SCS (Super Composite Skin) became a reference in the manufacture of triathlon combinations. This results in less friction due to its loose action, more flexibility and resistance to hooks. Less friction = more speed
-VSC =New cut of the collar inYamamoto 39 Cell + SCS= extreme flexibility, more comfort and less oppression
-Zero Irritation =The lining in the neckline reduces friction and thus avoids irritation.
The model Orca Athlex Float is ideal for all triathletes but also for more regular runners looking for a powerful and reliable combination at good prices over all the distances of the triathlon. The main qualities of this model are elasticity, slip, comfort, flottability and thermal protection. Reference of its category, Orca Athlex Float is efficient, versatile and can be used over any distance.
