Fitting your wetsuit is of great importance and should be done with care and attention. Please refer to our Guide – How to put on a wetsuit – for further information or watch the brands video guide.

40-CELL
Yamamoto’s 40cell neoprene is the penultimate for flexibility, suppleness, fit and comfort. Second only to 44cell by the narrowest of margins and located in key high stretch areas on the Predator, Alpha and 3.8 suits, these panels contribute to providing a wetsuit swimming experience of the highest level.

EXO-CELL
Exo-Cell is a unique sandwich-designed neoprene that provides over 25% more buoyancy than Aerodome. Panels of Exo-Cell are used in strategic panels on the Predator, Alpha and 3.8 to optimise swimming position.

HYDROLITE
HydroLite panels make transition that extra bit faster using the super-fast SCS (Nano ICE in the Predator) which combined with a special lining absorbs less water to improve buoyancy whilst also being extremely sleek making the suit fast to remove in transition saving you precious seconds.

SCS
Acting as a coating over closed-cell neoprene, Super Composite Skin (SCS) has become the benchmark for coating the smoothskin neoprene used in triathlon wetsuits, to reduce friction and increase speed through the water. The micro-cell structure of the SCS coating repels water when in contact with air and reduces surface resistance when in contact with water. Less friction = more speed!

39-CELL
Yamamoto 39cell is an extremely flexible neoprene which supports an uninhibited natural swimming motion. 39cell extends to a 513% elongation rate, meaning this material is sure to move with you. Added benefits of zero water absorption and zero weight variation can mean only one thing: more speed. A fine balance between buoyancy and flexibility, 39cell is a durable material which will stand the test of time and distance, representing the best neoprene available in it’s class.

INFINITYSKN
It’s what’s on the inside that counts and Orca’s unique InfinitySkn lining plays an integral part in the unbelievable flexibility of our top end wetsuits. Constructed from a high stretch nylon, InfinitySkn is strategically placed where ultimate stretch is required and allows the wetsuit to move dynamically through your swim stroke.

A wetsuit for every swim style

From the beginning of the Orca brand, their biggest focus has been on how they can help athletes swim faster when they’re in their wetsuits. Orca know that not all swimmers are alike, so within their wetsuit range they offer wetsuits to suit every swim style and budget so that every athlete’s individual needs can be met. In over twenty years of studying swimmers, they’ve narrowed these main requirements down to the following:

FLEXIBILITY

Those who are streamlined naturally strong swimmers and have good body position and technique are looking for the most flexible suit around to compliment this and make them even faster.

TOTAL SOLUTION

There are those middle of the road swimmers who don’t have a particularly bad technique but would still benefit greatly from some extra buoyancy. At the same time they want that feeling of freedom and flexibility with every stroke.

BUOYANCY

Not everyone who swims has the natural buoyancy in their body that avoids needing to kick a lot to keep their legs from dropping and creating drag. Male and female buoyancy needs also differ, with women naturally carrying more buoyancy in their hips, so have different buoyancy requirements in a wetsuit to men.
