Orca Women's 1.5 Alpha Full Sleeve Wetsuit
Slight damage to the rear of the suit, from trying the wetsuit on... it has never been worn into water. The Orca Women's 1.5 Alpha Full Sleeve Wetsuit is perfect for strong swimmers that demand sleek, powerful performance from their wetsuits. Lightweight, versatile and ergonomically crafted. Top Features of the Orca Women's 1.5 Alpha Full Sleeve Wetsuit Freestroke 3 System: Refined and re-engineered with the world’s best triathletes, the 1.5 Alpha retains its legendary Freestroke 3 System of Nano SCS- coated 1.5-2mm 40-cell panels through the chest and back; providing maximum flexibility, comfort and range of movement Yamamoto 44 Cell Neoprene: Yamamoto 44 Cell Neoprene is flexible, supple, extremely well fitting and comfortable. The Yamamoto Corporation is regarded as the world’s top producer of neoprene for triathlon wetsuits. Orca uses 1.5mm and 2mm panels of Yamamoto 44-cell neoprene, plus high stretch Infinity Skin, in key areas around the upper body and arms of the RS1 Predator, 1.5 Alpha and 3.8 Enduro to provide a wetsuit swimming experience like no other Infinity Skin Lining: It’s what’s on the inside that counts and Orca’s unique Infinity Skin plays an integral part in the unbelievable flexibility of the 1.5 Alpha. Constructed from a high stretch nylon, 4-way stretch is used as the lining on the FreeWing, FreeFly and FreeFlex panels of the Alpha 1.5, allowing the wetsuit to move dynamically through your swim stroke Nano Super Composite Skin (SCS) Coating: Super Composite Skin has become the benchmark for coating the neoprene used in triathlon wetsuits, to reduce friction and increase speed through the water. Orca uses the Yamamoto Corporation’s latest Nano SCS for an even lower drag coefficient, ensuring the fastest swim possible. The underwater coefficient of dynamic friction of the Nano SCS is in comparison to 4.0 with regular neoprene. Less friction = more speed Aerodome 2: Beneath the dimpled surface of Orca’s Aerodome 39-cell neoprene are hundreds of air cavities, which provide 30% more buoyancy than normal 5mm neoprene. Aerodome panels are strategically placed around the heaviest parts of the body, lifting you into the optimum swimming position Low profile neck: Restricts water entry, reduces chafing and reduces drag. Concealed stitching further reduces drag and maintains a sleek, stylish look Slipstream Zip: Easy to use, generates minimal drag Silicone Hydrostroke Forearm Panels: Increased water catchment giving more pull power and traction Speed Transition Panels: Fast removal of suit enabling faster transition times Built-in seam reduction: Optimises flexibility
