6-8. Place plastic bag on other foot and repeat process, ensure the wetsuit is positioned high up in crotch and on both hips
9. Place cotton gloves or plastic bag on your hands

11. Carefully gather sleeve and position on shoulder and snugly into armpit
12. Test fit and flexibility - repeat process for the other arm

Description
Description
The Apex Flex is a new revolution of the Orca Alpha.
The new Apex Flex triathlon wetsuit is the most flexible wetsuit in the entire Orca range. It is designed for the most technical swimmers, those who benefit from more flexibility and do not need extra buoyancy. The construction of the short, inverted zipper allows for a more elastic design. This, in combination with the most flexible materials on the market with the most hydrodynamic properties, makes it the fastest wetsuit for the best open water swimmers.
MAXIMUM FREEDOM
Swimming with total freedom of movement can allow you to take full advantage of your abilities and give 100% in the triathlon. That's why Apex Flex provides the highest level of elasticity, thanks to the combination of Yamamoto 44+ and 0.88 Free technology. During your next competition, you can perform your stroke naturally, without any restrictions.
LOW AND NEUTRAL BUOYANCY
The low buoyancy of the Apex Flex wetsuit will allow you to maintain your natural body position, especially if you are an experienced swimmer with a refined technique.
ZERO INTERFERENCE
With the Apex Flex, you can move through the water almost as if you were not wearing a wetsuit, which allows you to take full advantage of your skill in the swimming segment.
QUICK TRANSITIONS
The combination of highly hydrophobic materials and a shorter zipper will allow you to shave a few seconds off transitions in your next triathlon competition.
