Review for Orca Men’s Equip Wetsuit – 2017

If you’re looking for the most flexible entry-level open water swimming wetsuit to help you transition from pool swimming to open water.FLEXIBILITY – 1.5mm arms and shoulders combined with the superior InfinitySkin lining allows this suit to achieve a range of motion and flexibility previously associated only with intermediate level wetsuits.BUOYANCY – An enlarged front panel of 4mm SCS 39cell Yamamoto neoprene combined with a 4mm lower back panel provides buoyancy and refines body positioning in the water.SPEEDY TRANSITIONS – A larger jersey panel at the back of the legs makes this suit super quick to get of in transition, saving you time where it counts.39CELL – Yamamoto 39cell is an extremely flexible neoprene which supports an uninhibited natural swimming motion. 39cell extends to a 513% elongation rate, meaning this material is sure to move with you. Added benefits of zero water absorption and zero weight variation can mean only one thing: more speed. A fine balance between buoyancy and flexibility, 39cell is a durable material which will stand the test of time and distance, representing the best neoprene available in it’s class.SCS – Acting as a coating over closed-cell neoprene, Super Composite Skin (SCS) has become the benchmark for coating the smoothskin neoprene used in triathlon wetsuits, to reduce friction and increase speed through the water. The micro-cell structure of the SCS coating repels water when in contact with air and reduces surface resistance when in contact with water.HYDROLITE – HydroLite panels make transition that extra bit faster using the super fast SCS which combined with a special lining which absorbs less water to improve buoyancy while also being extremely sleek -making the suit fast to remove in transition saving you precious seconds.INFINITY SKN – It’s what’s on the inside that counts and Orca’s unique InfinitySkn lining plays an integral part in the unbelieveable flexibility of our top end wetsuits. Constructed from a high stretch nylon, InfinitySkn is strategically placed where ultimate stretch is required and allows the wetsuit to move dynamically through your swim stroke.MATERIALS – Collar: SCS, 2mm 39cell, Hydrolite.Underarm: SCS, 1.5mm 39cell, InfinitySkn.Front Body Panel: SCS, 4mm 39cell, InfinitySkn.Shin: SCS, 3mm 39cell, InfinitySkn.Back: Smoothskin, 3mm 38cell, InfinitySkn.Sleeves: SCS, 2mm 39cell, InfinitySkn.Hamstrings: Smoothskin, 4mm 38cell.Calf: Hydrolite, 2.3mm 39cell, InfinitySkn.

Review for POC Tempor AVIP Helmet – 2016

The award winning Tempor helmet is designed to provide the cutting edge advantage needed in time trial races. It has superior aerodynamic and safety performance and the EPS liner provides a high level of protection with increased thickness at the most exposed areas. In the development process, POC involved the Olympic time trial medalist Gustav Larsson and aerodynamic specialists from Semcon. POC’s conceptual approach to aerodynamics was to look at the rider as one body mass, rather than isolating the head from the rest of the body. POC used CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) aerodynamic simulations for evaluation and optimization.The two air intakes in the front reduce air resistance by leading the air through the helmet and past the shoulders. This airflow also provides generous ventilation.As part of the AVIP (Attention, Visibility, Interaction, Protection) concept, AVIP Tempor comes in high visbility colors, with a reflective sticker kit and with an ICE tag. High performance EPS liner, optimized in density Aerodynamicaly superior design Air intakes for reduced air resistance Overlapping upper and lower shell for seamless protection Detachable visor ICE tag included – Scanning the identification (ICE) tag or sending a text message with the unique code found on the tag will allow emergency personnel, or passerbys to identify the victim and receive correct medical information, such as blood group or allergies that can be vital for correct medical care. AVIP sticker kit for improved visibilitySIZES: M-L (55-58 cm), XL-XXL (59-62 cm)CERTIFIED: CE EN 1078, CPSC 12.03
