Review for Orca Women’s S6 Full Sleeve Wetsuit – 2018

The S6 is the alternative to the 3.8 for Progressive Swimmers. This type of swimmer needs extra buoyancy , which is why the S6 is designed to elevate the triathlete’s position in the water, without neglecting the elasticity needed for the arm stroke. It’s the perfect tool so that the water transition doesn’t hold you back.SCS The SCS lining over the neoprene reduces friction and helps increase speed. Its microcell structure repels water and generates less restriction on the forward movement.Zero chafing The neck lining reduces friction and therefore the appearance of chafing. What’s more, the soft material improves contact with the skin, making it more pleasant to the touch.Buoyancy The S6 is intended to correct your position, raising it as much as possible. The 5-mm neoprene used on the hips and legs helps your lower trunk area stay on the surface at all times. The 3-mm panel on the chest prevents the body from twisting, which is typical of an incorrect breathing technique.Flexibility The 2-mm Yamamoto panels with 39- cell SCS skin on the forearms, shoulders and arms, combined with a flexible lining, maintains mobility and improves flexibility. Yamamoto Neoprene 39 Cell SCS Coating – Super Composite Skin is the leading triathlon wetsuit coating because of its capacity to reduce friction and to provide the best possible in hydrodynamics. HydroLite – The HydroLite panels help the wetsuit come off easier, for faster transitions. This technology, combined with the SCS coating, helps the water slide off your wetsuit, without impregnating it, considerably improving your hydrodynamics. Infinity Skin – The inner Infinity Skin lining provides the feeling of absolute freedom. Designed based on a high-elasticity nylon that incorporates bamboo fibers, this technology is applied to the lining of our wetsuits to offer you greater flexibility with each stroke. This cloth maintains body heat longer, reduces body odor and the appearance of bacteria in your wetsuit. It is also made from natural eco-friendly materials to prevent the appearance of skin irritation and care for the environment.
