The Orca Apex Float wetsuit, formerly known as the 3.8 model, is the most buoyant wetsuit in the Orca range. This suit is intended for swimmers that are new to triathlon or swimming and so it incorporates specific technologies for maximum buoyancy and technique correction, 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 swimming strokes.Features: – Extra buoyancy – High flexibility – Maximum hydrodynamics – Yamamoto Material – YKK 10 zipper: strong and quality assuredTechnology: – Yamamoto Yamamoto Corporation is the world’s leading supplier of high-performance wetsuits. Its seal represents quality, technology and innovation.– 39 Treatment that guarantees good performance, reducing water resistance by 60%.– Exo-Lift It has a sandwich construction consisting of a neoprene layer, Aerodome technology and a third inner layer that has been specially treated. This last layer of neoprene guarantees 0% water absorption, so the buoyancy of this material does not vary throughout the exercise.– HYDROLITE HydroLite panels make the transition a little faster thanks to the use of SCS (Nano ICE in the Predator) which combined with a special lining that absorbs less water, improves buoyancy and glides more easily, making the neoprene easier to remove in transition– Aerodome Underneath the 39cell neoprene porous surface, there are hundreds of air cavities which provide 30% greater buoyancy to the 5mm neoprene. The Aerodome panels are strategically placed around the heaviest parts of your body, lifting you up to an optimal position in the water. Aerodome 2 is an improvement using a new coating that improves buoyancy and comfort.– CLS: Core Lateral Stabilizer This system provides additional support in the core area to prevent excessive rotation, improving the stability and efficiency of each stroke.– FTW: Feel the water It allows you to feel the sea with each stroke, improving the entry into the water. This improves the first phase of the stroke, especially in open water when the sea is rougher.– HEP: High Below Panel Helps keep the elbow elevated prior to the grip phase, improving stroke technique and providing a small support to improve stability.
