10 best triathlon wetsuits

Product description

SAMS stands for Shark Attack Mitigation System, which was developed in partnership with a team of respected shark researchers, with the aim of reducing the risk of shark attacks. It's based on in-depth research into shark vision, neurology and behavior, which amongst other things analyzes what they can see at certain depths and distances under different light and water conditions. By playing with the colour/contrast and size/shape of the suit's design, the aim is to put off the shark by making the swimmer appear less desirable (or even dangerous) to attack as possible food. The wetsuit also uses carbon technology with all the benefits of the carbon cage, including greater core stability and crucial support when and where it's needed at specific points on the body. Core stability is also taken a step further with the help of the suit's buoyancy, which is evenly-distributed across key areas of the suit - it helps keep the swimmer's body position level in the water.

SAMS Technology

SAMS stands for Shark Attack Mitigation System, which was developed in partnership with the University of Western Australia’s Oceans Institute and School of Animal Biology, with the aim of reducing the risk of shark attacks. It’s based on in-depth research into shark vision, neurology and behavior, which amongst other things analyzes what they can see at certain depths and distances under different light and water conditions. By playing with the color/contrast and size/shape of the suit’s design, the aim is to deter the shark by making the swimmer appear less desirable (or even dangerous) to attack as possible food.

Carbon Core Stability

The SAMS wetsuit pairs shark deterrent technology with unique carbon technology for unparalleled core stability. The carbon cage provides crucial support when and where it’s needed at specific points on the body. Core stability is also taken a step further with the help of advanced neoprene and Yamamoto Aerodome fabric for maximum buoyancy. The suit’s buoyancy is evenly-distributed across key areas of the suit, helping keep the swimmer’s body position level in the water.

Regulates Temperature

Long sleeve wetsuits are more buoyant and offer more coverage for maximum temperature regulation while swimming in open water. However, due to additional material and corresponding buoyancy in the arms, this can alter a competitive swimmer's stroke slightly. We recommend practicing to get used to how the long sleeves may alter your stroke before racing in a full sleeve wetsuit.

Multi-Thickness for Perfect Buoyancy and Warmth

All of our wetsuits use a Nylon bonded to Neoprene construction for durability and warmth. The material varies in thickness across different parts of the suit for optimal buoyancy, freedom of movement, and warmth. It is thickest across the torso, hips, and legs to keep your body insulated and buoyant, and thinner through the arms and armpits for maximum freedom of movement.

Thickness:

• A=3mm
• B=1.5mm
• C=Arena Aerodome 4.5mm
• D=2mm
• B1=Yamamoto Rubber 1.5mm

• 4-5-4 DESIGN - 4mm chest panels, 5mm neoprene around the core, hips and lower torso to lift the body and reduce drag, and 4mm neoprene legs to get that downhill position
• VO2 CHEST PANELS - Chest panels split by flexible neoprene for more stretch and easier breathing
• FLEXIBILITY - Upgraded jersey liner makes this suit as flexible as our Helix, and 1.5mm thin arms provide more flexibility, comfort and speed
• S-FLEX - thin 2mm side panels improve fit and ease body rotation for a natural stroke
• QUICK EXIT LEGS - 2mm flexible legs allow quicker transitions

User questions & answers

Question:	I am 5' 4 131 would I get a wms or wm
Answer:	No, just the same as the outside.
Question:	Will this suit keep you warm in cold water
Answer:	I don’t know, but it is feather weight. Measured in ounces if I had to guess.
Question:	I’m 5’2” and 120 lbs. What size would you suggest
Answer:	It’s warm in moderate conditions, with layers. Doesn’t breath, but will keep you dry. I guess... warmer than it would seem to be.
Question:	Good to what water temperature
Answer:	The material is very thin, so it is susceptible to chaffing from a backpack.

Product description

The Orca S7 fullsleeve wetsuit is an alternative to the 3.8 for the Progressive Swimmer. The ORCA S7 wetsuit provides extra buoyancy during the swim, this men’s triathlon wetsuit was designed to elevate the position of the triathlete in the water without compromising elasticity when it comes to swim strokes. The perfect tool to make sure swimming doesn’t slow you down.

• The Yamamoto Corporation is the world’s main supplier of high performance neoprene. Its seal represents quality, technology and innovation.
• Yamamoto 39cell is an extremely flexible neoprene which supports an uninhibited natural swimming motion. 39cell extends to a 513% elongation rate, meaning this material is sure to move with you. Added benefits of zero water absorption and zero weight variation can mean only one thing: more speed. A fine balance between buoyancy and flexibility, 39cell is a durable material which will stand the test of time and distance, representing the best neoprene available in it’s class.
• Super Composite Skin (SCS) has become the benchmark for coating the smoothskin neoprene used in triathlon wetsuits, to reduce friction and increase speed through the water. Orca uses Yamamoto Corporation’s latest Nano SCS for an even lower drag co-efficient, ensuring the fastest swim possible. The underwater co-efficient of dynamic friction of the Nano SCS is 0.026 in comparison to 4.0 of regular neoprene. Less friction = more speed!
• The HydroLite panels help the wetsuit come off easier, for faster transitions. This technology, combined with the SCS coating, helps the water slide off your wetsuit, without permeating it, considerably improving your hydrodynamics.
• The inner Infinity Skin lining provides the feeling of absolute freedom. Designed based on a high-elasticity nylon that incorporates bamboo fibres, this technology is applied to the lining of our wetsuits to offer you greater flexibility with each stroke. This cloth maintains body heat longer, reduces body odor and the appearance of bacteria in your wetsuit. It is also made from natural eco-friendly materials to prevent the appearance of skin irritation and care for the environment.

User questions & answers

Question:

What is the difference between the S7 and

Answer:

The S7 is their entry level suit for maximum buoyancy, a great suit helping correct body position in the water. It is a great wetsuit with high quality rubber for a great price. The 3.8 is like it's big brother, a similar suit when it comes to providing maximum buoyancy, as well as tremendous flexibility. There are areas on the 3.8 with increased Aerodome areas for extra lift, as well as an upgraded liner for easier removal of the wetsuit. It uses higher quality Yamamoto rubber for more flexibility in key areas like the shoulders and underarm gussets. If you'd like more insight on the various benefits between the two or wondering about sizing, I'd be happy to chat with you more.
