Orca Mens Athlex Float Wetsuit - Red Buoyancy

Product Information

Less common designs are Short Johns (short sleeves and short legs) and two-piece versions for which the top and bottom are separate pieces. Many people who have bought and liked this wetsuit have praised it for being flexible in the arm and shoulder area. And, that even though the wetsuit is more buoyant than other mid-level suits, it doesn’t inhibit movement and is still easy to take on and off. Even if you’re a good swimmer, but panic in open water, this suit might be good for you. You won’t feel restricted in the chest area and can calm yourself down before the race. The point of this particular wetsuit is not to compete with other traditional wetsuits but to instead fill a niche that they simply cannot. Specifically, this wetsuit was designed to be worn by triathletes who are competing in a race that features warmer water. Aside from the fact that this wetsuit does not feature the insulation of a traditional wetsuit, it also has a sleeveless design. On top of the sleeveless design, this wetsuit is not made out of neoprene or spandex like most of its competitors. Instead, this wetsuit features Italian woven fabrics that provide the perfect balance of compression and flexibility. Construction

XTERRA came out with its newest addition to its wetsuit collection, and let’s say that it’s impressive and can easily be used in high-level competition. For the Arms Up technology, the wetsuit was made with the model’s arm up instead of their sides. This ensures that you can get the most mobility while you swim and the shoulder designed is supposed to help you save energy.I recommend this wetsuit if you consider yourself “odd shaped” and have a hard time finding the right fit in a one-piece wetsuit. ROKA uses different types of Yamamoto neoprene throughout the suit so you have the best core-temperature and comfort along with speed in the water. Features

If you like the company, even though the wetsuit lets water seep in, you might need a smaller size, or upgrade to a different wetsuit or change brands. Beyond the speed factor, another primary aspect that determines a great wetsuit is what kinds of panels it provides. For instance, the TYR Hurricane is one of the only wetsuits we saw that came with the range of motion panels. Whereas most wetsuits constrict around the shoulder, the TYR Hurricane is able to offer a greater range of motion with special shoulder panels. Continuing on, the TYR Hurricane also offers some of the best buoyancy we saw and accomplishes this by providing aerodome panels in 360-degrees around the wetsuit to help you maintain a proper swimming position. It is actually a bit surprising to find, but the ROKA has arguably the most durable seams out of any product that we reviewed this is especially surprising how reasonably priced it is. First, this wetsuit actually features two different types of seams to ensure that they are extra durable. First, this wetsuit uses blind stitches to provide a sleek design that helps reduce drag. Then the seams are bonded to make sure that they do not come undone. The leg exits are also bonded to prevent over-compression.

ROKA uses the best neoprene in the market called Yamamoto, which is limestone based. This type of neoprene has more stretch, retains its original shape easily, and has the optimal insulation to weight ration.

AEROdome neoprene is placed in strategic spots on the wetsuit to keep the body high on the water with the best swimming position. The Zoot design team created its wetsuit to work with your body’s natural swim so that you can glide through the water. The suit’s buoyancy keeps your legs afloat without putting your body in an unbalanced position. De Soto created its T1 wetsuit as a two-piece instead of a one-piece wetsuit like other companies. A two-piece wetsuit helps you transition faster and makes shoulder fatigue and “torso-rubber stretch” disappear.Restricting the torso or throat areas reduces breathing capacity also resulting in lower muscle output.
