ORCA OW ZEAL PERFORM

MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY: YAMAMOTO 40 NEOPRENE

Swimming comfort primarily depends on freedom of arm movement. The Zeal Perform features Yamamoto 40 neoprene (the most flexible on the market) in the shoulders and arms. This extreme elasticity allows full extension during the pull phase without any resistance, reducing muscle fatigue over long distances. The collar is equipped with Ultimate Seal Collar technology, a laser-cut design that minimizes chafing and water entry for absolute comfort.

TARGETED BUOYANCY AND HYDRODYNAMICS

To maintain a perfect horizontal position (“hydroline”), Orca uses Aerodome 2 panels on the legs and lower torso. These panels trap air bubbles between layers of neoprene, providing 30% more buoyancy compared to standard neoprene. This helps lift the hips and legs, compensating for naturally lower buoyancy often found in male swimmers. The SCS (Super Composite Skin) coating reduces friction with the water, significantly improving your swimming speed.

ENHANCED SAFETY AND VISIBILITY

Open water swimming involves visibility risks. The Zeal Perform addresses this with bright orange panels at the extremities (arms and legs). This strong contrast with the black wetsuit and the water allows lifeguards and boats to quickly spot you, even in foggy conditions or rough water. It is one of the only wetsuits in its category to combine athletic performance with preventive safety so effectively.

THERMAL INSULATION AND FAST TRANSITIONS

Although thin and flexible, this wetsuit offers excellent thermal insulation for swimming in temperate waters. The wrists and ankles feature Hydrolite panels, making it easier to remove. This detail is crucial for swimmers who want to take off their wetsuit quickly after training or during a point-to-point swim.
