ORCA Mens Athlex Flow Triathlon Wetsuit

Year: 2023Model: MN14TT42Colour: Silver Total

The new Athlex Flow triathlon wetsuit is the perfect balance between elasticity and buoyancy. High-elasticity materials are incorporated in the upper body, while buoyancy technologies are featured in the legs. These technologies allow the swimmer to correct their position in the water, achieving a more hydrodynamic posture.

Specific technologies have been applied to this wetsuit to enhance its buoyancy

This new technology, applied to the lower body, gives the swimmer 30% more buoyancy than a conventional wetsuit. The secret is in its construction: hundreds of air pockets located between two layers of pre-treated neoprene. The inner layer of this material is composed of a high-quality lining with low water absorption that increases elasticity. The outer layer is treated with an SCS coating which improves hydrodynamics.

THE DETAILS:

• HIGH BUOYANCY
  The specific technologies included in the new Athlex Flow increase its buoyancy. This will allow you to get the most out of your swimming technique, since you will be able to maintain a horizontal and elevated position in the water for longer.

• HIGH ELASTICITY
  The materials in the shoulder, arm, and back areas give this wetsuit a high level of elasticity in the upper body, allowing you to swim the entire segment without any restrictions.

• HYDRODYNAMICS
  To improve hydrodynamics and increase your speed in the water, the materials used in this wetsuit have been treated with SCS technology. In your next competition, nothing will be able to slow you down. 

• CLEANING
  Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.
  Once clean, be sure to prevent it from holding on to too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage its materials.

• STORAGE
  Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being strained for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit’s durability and appearance.
  The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any tension on them.
  For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders, (Apex Flex or Apex Flow) it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.
