Description

The Orca Neoprene Buoyancy Shorts are 4 mm neoprene swim shorts with Aerodome panels that lift your hips and legs into a better body position. Flexible side panels leave room to rotate, the waist adjusts for a close fit, and they are cut for men and women in sizes XS to XXL.

Who it's for

Swimmers whose legs sink. Neoprene buoyancy shorts lift your hips and legs into position so you swim flatter, while leaving your upper body completely free.

A training tool first. Swim a set in these and you feel what good body position is supposed to feel like, which is exactly what Orca build them for: helping you find the right position in the water and improve your technique.

Buoyancy and flexibility

All the lift is where you need it. The 4 mm Aerodome panels sit over the hips and thighs to raise the half of you that drops, and with nothing on your shoulders there is nothing at all between you and your natural stroke.

  • Thickness: 4 mm neoprene.
  • Buoyancy: Aerodome panels across the front of the thighs and hips.
  • Side panels: flexible, so you can rotate through each stroke.
  • Waist: adjustable, for a close fit.

Getting the size right

Orca size these shorts on chest, waist and hip measurements, not on the shirt size you usually buy. Waist ranges run from 71-76 cm for an XS to 96.5-101.5 cm for an XXL, and hips from 76-85 cm (XS) to 120.5-129.5 cm (XXL). The full chart is in the photos and in the specifications.
