Orca Openwater Vitalis Breast Stroke Wetsuit Men - black NN2B

The Vitalis Breast Stroke is Orca's first wetsuit designed specifically for breaststroke. Thanks to its special cut, it is perfectly suited for the specific movements of this swimming style. In addition, the ingenious distribution of the material thickness means that the legs are not lifted excessively during swimming and therefore the water position is not affected. The suit is made of highly elastic materials, such as Yamamoto 39 FS, allowing swimmers to enjoy maximum flexibility and a feeling of complete freedom.

Features of the Orca Openwater Vitalis Breast Stroke Wetsuit for Men

• Breaststroke: This wetsuit is the first from Orca designed and developed specifically for the demands of breaststroke swimming. The use of materials with high stretch and low material thickness allows for controlled buoyancy.

• High elasticity: in addition to materials with high stretch, such as 39FS, a pattern specifically designed for breaststroke is used.

• Low buoyancy: The low thickness of the material on the legs ensures a lower buoyancy and prevents the suit from having an unfavorable effect on the athlete's position in the water.

Cleaning

Too much salt is not good for your wetsuit. It can also be damaged by disinfectants, such as chlorine, if you use it in the pool. Therefore, it is recommended to rinse the wetsuit with plenty of (fresh) water after use. You can also use a small amount of pH neutral soap and rinse it well afterwards.

To prevent moisture from remaining after cleaning, it is best to dry the suit in a well-ventilated room or outdoors. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, as this can damage the material.

Storage

Storing your wetsuit properly will prevent the material and seams from buckling and warping. This will prevent wrinkles that will affect the durability and appearance of your wetsuit.

The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it over the center of a bar or hanger so that sensitive areas, such as shoulders and arms, are not exposed to tension.

For suits with a very stretchy shoulder area (Apex Flex or Apex Flow) you should not use hangers, as this can reduce the elasticity in the long run. For all other styles, you can use a wide hanger as long as it does not put too much tension on the shoulders and collar.

Please follow the manufacturer's instructions for use:

• If your wetsuit has a Velcro closure, avoid it coming into contact with the lining, as this can affect the delicate fabric. Cover the closure with the strip of fabric provided or make sure it is closed so that the barbs of the Velcro surface do not damage the inside of your suit.

• For all suits, but especially those with exposed neoprene surfaces, be careful during donning and doffing not to damage the neoprene with your fingernails. Damage of this kind is not covered by our warranty.

• Triathlon and open water wetsuits are designed specifically for swimming. We cannot guarantee the proper function of your wetsuit for other activities. Damage to the wetsuit caused by activities other than swimming is not covered by our warranty policy.

• Avoid contact of your wetsuit with solid surfaces, especially rough ones, and do not lean on anything while wearing it.
