Triathlon Wetsuit Orca Athlex Flex v2

The new Orca Athlex Flex V2 neoprene triathlon wetsuit is ideal for natural swimmers, offering optimum flexibility without altering the body's position, thanks to Yamamoto 39 + SCS technology and the most elastic coating on the market. What's more, the buoyancy has been adapted for this style of swimmer to avoid raising the lower part of the torso too much and to prevent the flapping of the legs coming out of the water. The result? A unique feeling of freedom and speed.

The Athlex Flex V2 wetsuit combines high elasticity for swimmers able to maintain a good position in the water without the benefit of extra buoyancy. Relatively thin materials on the upper torso and medium thickness on the legs create a wetsuit that offers great freedom of movement. This new generation of Orca Athlex Flex V2 wetsuit has been completely redesigned to provide a high level of flexibility, comfort and performance. Based on the expertise and experience of professional triathletes, this wetsuit is perfect for those who want to go further and faster!

Why choose the Orca Athlex Flex V2 for Men?

The Orca Athlex Flex V2 suit is the ideal choice for demanding triathletes looking for a high-performance suit that combines flexibility, speed and thermal comfort to maximise their potential in competition. Its technical design and cutting-edge innovations make it an essential choice for pushing your limits and performing with confidence.

Orca Athlex Flex range: Convert energy into momentum. Athlex is the ideal range for those who are looking for a highly technical product that is adapted to their practice.

Orca's Flex range is specifically designed for swimmers who have no technical deficiencies and who maintain a correct horizontal and elevated position in the water. These swimmers need extra flexibility so that their kicking technique is not affected by other factors. The buoyancy of the suits in this range is designed not to alter the position of triathletes, so it's important that they naturally have the correct posture in the water. The right materials give triathletes a feeling of freedom in the water and, as well as the necessary thermal insulation, provide a slight buoyancy to make swimming even more comfortable.
