Description

The Orca Vitalis TRN Men's is an open-water wetsuit for swimmers starting out in open water or training daily for triathlon. It runs 3 mm neoprene through the torso and 2 mm at the shoulders, with neutral buoyancy and highly flexible shoulders. It is the evolution of the Openwater Core TRN.

Who it's for

Swimmers new to open water, and anyone wanting a suit for regular training. Orca position it for daily, triathlon-oriented training.

For colder water, the Vitalis Thermal is Orca's insulated open-water suit, with thicker torso panels and a Thermal X lining. For racing, the Athlex and Apex ranges are Orca's triathlon wetsuits.

Buoyancy and flexibility

  • Torso and thighs: 3 mm neoprene, for warmth and a neutral, even float.
  • Shoulders and lower legs: 2 mm, so your arms reach and recover freely.
  • Neoprene: Yamamoto 39FS and 38, with a Smoothskin outer finish and an Infinity Skin 2 lining.
  • Neck and zip: Orca's Ultimate Seal Collar and a YKK 10 back zip.

Orca rate this suit evenly for warmth, flexibility and buoyancy rather than pushing one at the cost of the others. That makes it forgiving for a swimmer still working out their stroke, and a sensible first wetsuit before you know whether you need Float or Flex.

Getting the size right

Orca size on height, weight and chest together. We stock sizes 4 to 11, plus 6T, Orca's MT: the size 6 chest range cut for a taller swimmer.

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, and store it hung draped from the waist so the shoulders and arms carry no tension.

    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.
