Orca - Apex Flex Triathlon Wetsuit
The Apex Flexis a new (r)evolution of the Orca Alpha.
The new Apex Flex triathlon wetsuit is the most flexible wetsuit in the entire Orca range. It is designed for the most technical swimmers, those who benefit from more flexibility and do not need extra buoyancy. The construction of the short, inverted zipper allows for a more elastic design. This, in combination with the most flexible materials on the market with the most hydrodynamic properties, make it the fastest wetsuit for the best open water swimmers.
Characteristics
MAXIMUM FREEDOM
Swimming with total freedom of movement can allow you to take full advantage of your abilities and give 100% in the triathlon. That's why Apex Flex provides the highest level of elasticity, thanks to the combination of Yamamoto 44+ and 0.88 Free technology. During your next competition, you can perform your stroke naturally, without any restrictions.
LOW AND NEUTRAL BUOYANCY
The low buoyancy of the Apex Flex wetsuit will allow you to maintain your natural body position, especially if you are an experienced swimmer with a refined technique.
ZERO INTERFERENCE
With the Apex Flex, you can move through the water almost as if you were not wearing a wetsuit, which allows you to take full advantage of your skill in the swimming segment.
QUICK TRANSITIONS
The combination of highly hydrophobic materials and a shorter zipper will allow you to shave a few seconds off transitions in your next triathlon competition.
Care instructions for longer durability
CLEANING
Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.
Once clean, be sure to prevent it from holding on to too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage its materials.
STORAGE
Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being strained for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance.
The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any tension on them.
For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders, (Apex Flex or Apex Flow) it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.
