Orca wetsuit for men - S7 - Black/orange

This is a wetsuit for men designed specifically for open-water swimming, where quality and high visibility is a high priority. The suit is especially ideal for open-water swimmers who are at beginner level. 

Since it is a wetsuit for people around beginner level and up, there is increased buoyancy in the suit. This means that you float to the surface more easily, while the suit is still flexible.

• 5mm thick neoprene around hips and legs.
  
• 2mm Yamamoto neoprene around the panels at shoulders and arms.
  

It has a super cool design mainly in black and a bright orange colour around the shoulder, a bit down the sleeves and graphic design on the back. A bonus is that there is SCS coating which reduces friction and increases your speed.

Due to the choice of material, you get a wetsuit that helps you float more easily, without compromising on flexibility when you are in the water.

Features of the S7 wetsuit from Orca:

• Combination of 5mm and 2mm neoprene which provides optimal buoyancy for.
  
• High visibility due to the color choice on the suit.
  
• Lining around the neck to avoid chafing.
  

Material and recyclability

Orca wetsuits are made from quality neoprene extracted from limestone rather than inferior quality extracted from oil. The general properties of quality neoprene not only contribute to better performance but also ensure maximum durability.

Sustainable materials, such as recyclable polyamide, is becoming increasingly important in clothing, which Orca uses in production.

To minimize the environmental impact, Orca's entire range of wetsuits and accessories will be packed with recycled cardboard instead of single-use plastic from 2023.

Cleaning of wetsuits

Neoprene can be damaged by too much salt (in the sea) or too much chlorine (in a swimming pool). It is important to clean the wetsuit with water and a bit of pH-neutral soap to maintain the neoprene optimally.

It is important that the wetsuit is allowed to dry so that there is no more moisture left. It can either be done indoors (with good ventilation) or outdoors, without direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.

Wetsuit storage

The optimal way to store the wetsuit is by hanging it so that it does not fold on the most sensitive areas (shoulders, arms, legs).

This ensures that the materials are not folded and strained over a longer period of time, thereby extending the durability and aesthetics of the wetsuit.
