Orca Womens Athlex Float V2 Triathlon Swim Wetsuit 2026 - Black

Orca Womens Athlex Float V2 Triathlon Swim Wetsuit in Black

The Athlex Float V2 wetsuit, made with Yamamoto neoprene, combines high buoyancy with high elasticity, resulting in a very balanced wetsuit for swimmers who need extra buoyancy to achieve the correct position in the water. This wetsuit’s distribution of thicknesses optimises the swimmer’s position in the water, ensuring they can tackle triathlons with confidence. Plus, the use of highly elastic materials in the shoulders and arms and the removal of the graphics in the shoulder area means the Athlex Float V2 enables you to enjoy every stroke without restrictions.

Enjoy the comfort provided by our Fabric Gloves, included when you buy an Athlex Flex V2, which allows you to put your wetsuit on without damaging the material.

FEATURES

• Buoyancy
  The Athlex Float V2’s distribution of thicknesses, with 4.5mm neoprene in the legs, maximizes its buoyancy. This enables you to maintain a horizontal, elevated position in the water for longer so that your swimming technique isn’t affected, and you can give it your all at your next triathlon competition.
• High elasticity
  The materials incorporated into the shoulders, arms, and back provide this wetsuit with a high degree of elasticity in the upper torso area. This means you’ll be able to swim without restrictions and enjoy total freedom with every stroke. In addition, without the shoulder graphics, this area of the suit is more flexible, meaning you will be able to carry out each stroke with greater freedom.
• Hydrodynamics
  Thanks to the SCS treatment we apply to the materials used to make the wetsuit, you'll be able to increase your speed and improve your hydrodynamics at both your training sessions and competitions.
• Quick transition
  The use of highly hydrophobic materials allows you to take your suit off quickly, saving you seconds during the transition of your next triathlon competition.
• Composition: Neoprene 95 %, Polyamide (Nylon) 5 %

Care instructions for longer durability

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.

Storage
Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being stretched for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance.

The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped over a hanger from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any kind of tension on them.

For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders (Apex Flex or Apex Flow), it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.

Recommendations for use

• If your suit has Velcro, avoid contact between the Velcro and the inner lining of the wetsuit, as it will damage the fibers in the material. Keep the Velcro covered with the provided fabric patch or make sure that the Velcro is closed, so that the rough part of the Velcro does not damage the inside of your suit.
• For all suits, especially those made with neoprene, be careful not to damage the neoprene material with your nails when putting on or taking off the suit, as this type of damage is not covered by our warranty policy.
• Triathlon and open water suits have been designed specifically for swimming. We cannot guarantee correct functioning of the wetsuits for other activities. Any damage to the wetsuit resulting from use in activities other than swimming is not covered by our warranty policy.
• Avoid leaning on or coming into contact with any surfaces (especially rough ones) while wearing your wetsuit.
