0.88 Free
0.88 Free technology has been developed with Yamamoto exclusively for Orca, with the aim of creating the most stretchable material currently available. The thinnest wetsuit on the market, at only 0.5mm think, combines the best lining with a layer of Titanium to provide better thermal insulation.
Yamamoto 44
This material is unique to Orca and is the most stretchable wetsuit material and only 1.5mm thick. Using this flexible component Orca to accommodate a smaller zip than other wetsuits on the market.
Speed
The wetsuits SCS coating reduces friction while you are swimming and the HydroLite leg panels, together with the FT1 technology let you run freely. Never have transitions been so fast
New Zip System
The new reverse zip prevents the wetsuit from opening during the race. The zip is also smaller and shorter meaning less friction.
FT1
This new technology, exclusively from Orca consists of ribbed neoprene. Its used for the lower joints to achieve maximum elasticity during your race. Your transitions have never been so fast.
Yamamoto
The Yamamoto Corporation is the world’s main supplier of high performance neoprene. Its seal represents quality, technology and innovation.
Hydrolite
The Hydrolite panels help the wetsuit come of easier, for faster transitions. This technology combined with the SCS coating, helps water slide off your wetsuit without impregnating it, considerably improving your hydrodynamics.
Infinity Skin
The inner Infinity Skin lining provides the feeling of absolute freedom. Designed based on a high-elasticity nylon that incorporates bamboo fibres, this technology is applied to the lining of Orca’s wetsuits to offer you greater flexibility with each stroke. This cloth maintains body heat longer, reduces body odour and the appearance of bacteria in your wetsuit.
