Description

The Orca Apex Flow V2 Women's is the balanced suit in Orca's premium Apex triathlon range, with Yamamoto 44+ in the shoulders and 0.88 Free in the arms. It puts buoyancy in the lower body and keeps the upper body elastic, for swimmers with good technique who want extra support holding position. It is cut on Orca's V Fit women's pattern.

Who it's for

Triathletes whose stroke is settled but who still want some help keeping the hips and legs up. The Apex Flow V2 sits in the middle of Orca's range, pairing Flex freedom through the shoulders with Float lift below.

If your legs drag and you want as much lift as possible, the Apex Float is the better buy. If you already swim flat and want the suit out of the way, look at the Apex Flex.

Buoyancy and flexibility

The shoulders are Yamamoto 44+, the most flexible material in Orca's range, so the suit moves with your catch and recovery instead of pulling against it. The arms are 0.88 Free, Yamamoto's most elastic material, made for Orca.

The buoyancy sits low: Aerodome 2 and Exo-Lift construction through the lower body support the hips and legs. The outer surface carries Orca's SCS coating to cut drag through the water.

Getting the size right

The Apex Flow V2 is built on Orca's V Fit pattern, a women's cut developed by Orca's athletes rather than a men's suit resized.

What comes with it

The Apex Flow V2 comes with fabric gloves, for pulling the suit on without nails tearing the neoprene, and a bag to carry it.

Looking after neoprene

Salt and pool chlorine both damage neoprene, so rinse the suit in plenty of fresh water after every swim. A little neutral pH soap is fine, rinsed out afterwards. Dry it outside or somewhere airy indoors, out of direct sun. Store it draped from the waist and never on a hanger by the shoulders: Orca single out the Apex Flow's very flexible shoulders as the ones a hanger stretches out over time.

    Cleaning
    Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after each use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.

    Once clean, make sure prevent it from holding onto too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage the materials.

FAQ's

What is the difference between the Orca Apex Float and Apex Flow?
Buoyancy. The Orca Apex Float is the maximum-buoyancy suit, for swimmers whose legs drag. The Apex Flow V2 puts buoyancy in the legs and lower body and keeps the upper body as free as the Flex. Choose Float if your legs sink badly, Flow for support without losing stretch.

What is the difference between Orca Apex and Athlex wetsuits?
Apex is Orca's highest-performance triathlon range and Athlex its lower-cost performance range. Both come in Float, Flow and Flex versions, so pick the version for how you sit in the water, then the range.

What is Yamamoto 44+ neoprene?
Yamamoto 44+ is the most flexible material in Orca's range, needing far less force to stretch than conventional neoprene. The Orca Apex Flow V2 Women's uses it in the shoulders, where stretch matters most for the stroke.

Where is the buoyancy in the Orca Apex Flow V2 Women's?
The Orca Apex Flow V2 Women's keeps its buoyancy low: Aerodome 2 and Exo-Lift construction in the lower body support the hips and legs, while the shoulders and arms stay thin and elastic.

Is the Orca Apex Flow V2 cut for women?
Yes. The women's Orca Apex Flow V2 is built on Orca's V Fit pattern, a women's cut developed by Orca's athletes rather than adapted from a men's suit.

What comes with the Orca Apex Flow V2 Women's?
The Orca Apex Flow V2 Women's comes with fabric gloves, which help you pull the suit on without damaging the neoprene, and a bag to carry and store it.

How do you look after the Orca Apex Flow V2?
Rinse the Orca Apex Flow V2 in plenty of fresh water after every swim and dry it out of direct sun. Store it draped from the waist, never on a hanger by the shoulders: a hanger degrades the elasticity of its very flexible shoulders over time.
