Orca Men’s 3.8 Fullsleeve Wetsuit – 2015

If you are in search of a suit that’s going to give you maximum buoyancy in the water at the same time as still being super flexible. BUOYANCY – Women naturally carry more buoyancy in their hips than men, so do not want rather as much buoyancy aid in a wetsuit. New men’s specific buoyancy in the 3.8 now allows more balanced buoyancy with a 3mm chest panel and a greater front area of 5mm Exo-cell on the waist than the female version. 5mm SCS coated Aerodome 2 on the butt also gives even greater lift than any previous 3.8 before. FLEXIBILITY – 1.5mm 40 cell Yamamoto shoulders combined with 1.5mm 40 cell underamrs give you ultimate stretch where you want it most. COMFORT – Super thin 2mm SCS coated neoprene collar provides the ultimate in comfort where you want it most. SPEED – SCS coated Yamamoto neoprene is used in HydroLite panels in the ankles of the suit combined with a stretchy lining that absorbs less water to enhance buoyancy and is super sleek, making the 3.8 even faster to remove in transition.
40-Cell – Yamamoto’s 40 cell neoprene is the penultimate for flexibility, suppleness, fit and comfort. Located in key high stretch areas, these panels contribute to providing 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 to optimize swimming position.
HydroLite – HydroLite panels make transition that extra bit faster the usage of superfast SCS which combined with a special lining which absorbs less water to enhance buoyancy at the same time as 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 turn into 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 SCS coating repels water when in contact with air and reduces surface resistance when in contact with water. Less friction = more speed!
InfinitySKN – It’s what’s on the inside that counts and Orca’s unique InfinitySkn lining plays an integral part in the incredible 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.
