Loading... Please wait...A great mens wetsuit for entry level triathlons or just starting out.
This is by far our largest selling wetsuit - it has a lot of the great features of the intermediate wetsuits of a few years ago and an exceptional price to start open water swimming.
Orca - Full coverage of the new neoprene is used across the front and back of the wetsuit, providing more buoyancy and increasing speed through the water. A special new inner lining (has also been used, reducing water absorption and making the wetsuit easier to put on and take off and more comfortable.
The new S3 utilises a lighter, more flexible neoprene and a host of new features to make it the ideal wetsuit for those taking their first steps into triathlon and open water swimming.
New shoulder panels (Delta Stretch Shoulder Panel) create increased flexibility, for complete range of motion through the swim stroke. The S3 benefits from a revised neck seal for increased comfort and a Slipstream zip, which reduces drag by providing the least possible resistance between the wetsuit and water.

I used an Orca S3 in a 5km swim crossing the Dardenelles in 11C degree water. Fantastic comfort and warmth. I did use some Glide anti chaffing on the under arms and neck and had no chafing whatsoever after 1hr and 20 mins in the 4 knot currents and water. Highly recommended

I rate it 4/5 for what I use it for. i would rate it higher but I get some chaffing around the neck and have to use a rashy under it to stop the chaffing. Other than that it is perfect for my use.
I am a non competitive swimmer, I swim twice a week at sea for 1.5km per swim
I appreciated your advice on chosing this suit, it is great, so thank you
regards
Steve

The Orca S3 wetsuit is the first triathlon wetsuit I have bought and is great. It provides great buoyancy and has a great look. It is ideal for a beginner triathlete like myself.
