This is a men's wetsuit designed specifically for open-water swimming, where quality and high visibility are a high priority.
It has a super cool design primarily in black and bright orange on the sleeves, along the side of the back and on the back of the legs. The colors of this wetsuit have been carefully selected, as it ensures that you are visible in the water so that you can feel completely safe when swimming in open water.
In addition to the suit's focus on design, they have also focused on the materials and it is therefore made of 2.0-2.5 mm Yamamoto neoprene. This simply means that the suit is flexible and keeps you warm.
With this suit you can swim longer in open water without compromising on safety.
Features of the Open Water Core wetsuit from Orca:
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.
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.
The optimal way to store the wetsuit is by hanging it over the memory 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.

Recommendations in video
- Orca Squad/Core = Beginner / No focus on speed, just cheap and good to go / gives good buoyancy / cheapest wetsuit
- Orca S7 and TYR Hurricane = Beginner / speed is a bit important / high buoyancy, less flexibility / best beginner wetsuit
- Orca Equip = Good swimming / best for experienced swimmers / maximum flexibility but less buoyancy
- Orca Sonar = Good swimmer or beginner who wants the best of both (flexibility and buoyancy) / Most versatile wetsuit
