Orca Triathlon Wetsuits and Triathlon Clothing


The right sportswear plays an important role in your triathlon success. Shorts, tops or trisuits have an effect on freedom of movement, muscle support and well-being in all three disciplines. The Orca wetsuit you wear on the swim course at cooler temperatures affects speed and effort. A variety of Orca accessories will help you during training and competition or during recovery. The New Zealand brand offers you the right clothing, Orca wetsuits, or neoprene training equipment and useful accessories to suit your personal needs and training goals. Scott Unsworth, a successful New Zealand triathlete himself, founded Speedsuits Ltd in 1992 with the aim of developing optimised neoprene wetsuits. Today, the range includes a variety of sporting goods, with an emphasis on Orca Triathlon.

Orca Neoprene wetsuits meet all requirements

Which wetsuit suits you best depends on several factors: whether you just started to train for your first triathlon or you you’ve already gained significant experience is just as important as your personal preference of long or short distant disciplines. Some suits offer more buoyancy, others less. Most suit models are available in different cuts to specifically fit the male or female body. Different series like Openwater, Equip or Predator furthermore meet various requirements and special materials are used to achieve the required effects. SCS-surface coating, for example, reduces water resistance. Aerodome-material with integrated air-cells enhances your buoyancy at particular points of the body and EXO-Lift reduces the water absorption of the material. Yet, these are only a few examples of the advanced technology this brand has to offer that lends each wetsuit its unique character. Neoprene-supplements like caps and swimming socks for colder water or special occasions are also part of the wide product range.

Orca Triathlon and swimwear – clothing and accessories

Also regarding triathlon apparel only the newest materials are used to optimize comfort and performance support. The brand-exclusive FeatherLite fabric, for example, is extremely light while AquaGlide is especially water-repellent and Vapour very breathable. The priorities of product lines APEX and ATHLEX are thereby set differently. One-piece and two-piece clothing are available for men and women and supplements with compression material, that are useful during recovering, are also included in the product range. With further accessories like caps, bags or special shoe laces you are well-equipped for any upcoming training session or race. Apart from equipment for triathlon this brand offers clothing and various accessories, which have been specifically created for swimming. Among these are swim goggles and caps as well as paddles and pull buoys for training.
