Explore the WSO Swim Guides here The new Athlex Float triathlon wetsuit combines high buoyancy with high elasticity resulting in a very balanced wetsuit for swimmers who need added buoyancy to correct their positioning in the water. Thinner upper body and thick leg materials allow swimmers to tackle triathlons with confidence. THE DETAILS: BUOYANCYThe distribution of materials of different thickness in the Athlex Float such as the 4.5 mm neoprene in the legs enhances its buoyancy. This will allow you to maintain a horizontal and elevated position in the water for longer so that your swimming technique is not affected and you can perform at your best in your triathlon competition. HIGH ELASTICITYThe materials in the shoulder arm and back areas give this wetsuit a high level of elasticity in the upper body. This will allow you to swim without restriction performing each swim stroke with total freedom. HYDRODYNAMICSYou can improve your speed and hydrodynamics while training and in competitions thanks to the SCS technology used to treat the materials in this wetsuit. 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.

Probably one of best value for money buys.
This is a solidly put together suit. I tried many wetsuit brands and find Orcas are the most durable and tend to give you a good 2 to 3 seasons at least. Of course you need to be careful not to get finger nail rips or leave it wet in the cupboard etc but it's good value for money. Only not quite as flexible in the shoulders as very top range suits but I think it's a go to durable training suit and plenty comfortable and good in the cold.
