The Apex Flex is a new (r)evolution of the Orca Alpha.
The new Apex Flex triathlon wetsuit is the most flexible wetsuit in the entire Orca range. It is designed for the most technical swimmers, those who benefit from more flexibility and do not need extra buoyancy. The construction of the short, inverted zipper allows for a more elastic design. This, in combination with the most flexible materials on the market with the most hydrodynamic properties, make it the fastest wetsuit for the best open water swimmers.
BONUS With your purchase of this wetsuit, you will get a waterproof Mesh Backpack as a gift, perfect for carrying your wetsuit and swimming gear.

Characteristics
MAXIMUM FREEDOM
Swimming with total freedom of movement can allow you to take full advantage of your abilities and give 100% in the triathlon. That's why Apex Flex provides the highest level of elasticity, thanks to the combination of Yamamoto 44+ and 0.88 Free technology. During your next competition, you can perform your stroke naturally, without any restrictions.
LOW AND NEUTRAL BUOYANCY
The low buoyancy of the Apex Flex wetsuit will allow you to maintain your natural body position, especially if you are an experienced swimmer with a refined technique.
ZERO INTERFERENCE
With the Apex Flex, you can move through the water almost as if you were not wearing a wetsuit, which allows you to take full advantage of your skill in the swimming segment.
QUICK TRANSITIONS
The combination of highly hydrophobic materials and a shorter zipper will allow you to shave a few seconds off transitions in your next triathlon competition.

Care instructions for longer durability
CLEANING
Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.
Once clean, be sure to prevent it from holding on to too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage its materials.
STORAGE
Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being strained for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance.
The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any tension on them.
For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders, (Apex Flex or Apex Flow) it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
1) Avoid contact between the velcro and the lining of your wetsuit as this will affect the material’s sensitive fibers. Keep the velcro covered with the provided fabric patch or make sure the velcro is fastened, so that the rough part of the velcro won’t damage the inside of the wetsuit.
2) Be careful not to damage the neoprene material with your fingernails while putting on or taking off your wetsuit, as this type of damage is not covered by our warranty policy.
3) Triathlon and open water wetsuits have been designed specifically for surface swimming. We can't guarantee correct performance of the wetsuits for other activities. Any damage to the wetsuit resulting from activities other than surface swimming is not covered by our warranty policy.
4) Avoid scraping your wetsuit against any surface (especially rough surfaces), never lean on any surface with your wetsuit on.
ORCA Wetsuit Sizes
Different wetsuits have different fits.
Thanks to the high elasticity of the materials, the more flexible wetsuits adapt better to the swimmer’s body than those with less elasticity.
If you’re choosing a wetsuit with less flexibility, you should select a size that fits well to your body.
To learn more about wetsuit sizing read more on how your wetsuit should fit you.
One piece wetsuits
When selecting the ideal wetsuit size, three measurements should be taken into account: chest circumference, height and weight. When in doubt, we recommend choosing the size that best fits your chest circumference, since it is important that the wetsuit is well- fitted in this area.
Women
Freedive wetsuits: This garment is made of compressive fabric. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size.
*MW and LW sizing: This sizing is only available for the Openwater Vitalis TRN Women wetsuit.
Men
Freedive wetsuits: This garment is made of compressive fabric. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size.
Kids
For children’s sizing, the measurements we will look at are the chest circumference, waist, hips and height. When in doubt, go by the chest circumference in this case as well.
Two piece wetsuits
To determine the ideal size of a two-piece wetsuit, four measurements should be taken into account: chest circumference, waist, height and weight.
Tops
The chest circumference, height and weight help to figure out which size top will fit best. When in doubt, the chest circumference should be the most closely fitted.
Women
Men
Bottoms
To choose wetsuit bottoms, you should take into account your waist measurement, height and weight. In this case, your waist is the most important measurement.
