Orca Openwater Vitalis Thermal Wetsuit Women - black NN6U

The Vitalis Thermal offers open water swimmers good protection against the cold. It combines special heat-retaining technologies such as Thermal X with excellent waterproofing in the form of a second layer of neoprene, the "Batwing", which prevents water from penetrating through the zipper and collar. In addition, the thick panels, through high buoyancy, allow swimmers* to enjoy energy-saving cold water sessions.

Features of the Orca Openwater Vitalis Thermal Wetsuit for Women

• Cold Protection: The excellent insulating properties of this wetsuit are achieved by the construction of up to 5mm thick panels combined with the Thermal-X lining. In addition, the "Batwing" hood prevents cold water from entering through the collar and zipper, which further improves the heat retention on the body.

• Stretch: 39+ and 39FS technologies are used on the shoulders and underarm area, which provide better elasticity to the wetsuit.

• High neutral buoyancy: Thick panels on the torso provide high buoyancy, so you are even safer in the open water. Due to its construction, the buoyancy profile is also neutral.

• Comfort: The pleasant feel of the Thermal-X inner material ensures great comfort when swimming in cold 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

By storing your wetsuit properly, you 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.
