Description

The Orca Athlex Flex V2 Men's is the flexibility-first suit in Orca's Athlex triathlon range: Yamamoto neoprene, thin panels through the upper body and neutral buoyancy. It suits experienced swimmers who already hold a good position in the water and want the suit to stay out of the way of the stroke.

Who it's for

Swimmers whose technique is sound. Orca's Flex models put freedom of movement first and add only a little buoyancy, so the Athlex Flex V2 leaves your natural position alone.

Choose it when your stroke is settled and you want a suit that does not fight it. For newer swimmers, the Athlex Float is the better buy, and the Athlex Flow sits between the two.

Buoyancy and flexibility

The upper body uses thin Yamamoto 39 neoprene for stretch through the chest, shoulders and arms, and the shoulders are free of graphics to keep that area flexible. The legs step up to thicker Yamamoto 38+ for compression.

The suit is 95% neoprene and 5% polyamide, with an SCS coating on the outer surface to cut water friction and an Infinity Skin 2 lining inside. HydroLite at the neck, arms and legs helps it come off quickly in transition.
