The Men’s Orca Athlex Float:
Designed for the beginner and intermediate male swimmer, the Men’s Athlex Float provides effective buoyancy to aid with body position and technique. Strategically placed 4.5mm panels in the legs and lower back offer strong lift, while the ultra-flexible 2mm neoprene in the arms ensures an unrestricted, fatigue-reducing stroke. This is the optimal entry-level suit for training and racing.
Key Features
- Improved buoyancy: The Athlex Float’s Yamamoto neoprene provides excellent buoyancy, which can help you swim faster and more efficiently in cold water.
- Increased range of motion: The Athlex Float’s nylon construction allows for increased range of motion, which is important for triathletes and open water swimmers in the UK, where the water is often cold and choppy.
- Durability:Â The Athlex Float’s laser cut collar, inverted Velcro, and Hydrolite panels make it a durable wetsuit that can withstand the rigors of triathlons and open water swimming in the UK.
Description
The Orca Athlex Float is engineered to solve the most common issue new male swimmers face: maintaining a horizontal, efficient body position. By strategically placing 4.5mm Yamamoto neoprene from the hips down, the suit actively promotes superior leg lift, allowing you to focus on developing your stroke rather than fighting sinking legs. This optimal body alignment reduces drag, improves speed, and conserves energy. Combined with highly durable construction and 2mm flexibility in the shoulders, the Athlex Float is the smart first investment for performance and safety.
