The Apex Flex V2 wetsuit, made with Yamamoto neoprene, is the most flexible suit in Orca’s entire range. It’s aimed at more technical swimmers who benefit from greater flexibility but who don’t need extra buoyancy.
Its short, inverted zip construction allows for a more elastic design. The new Apex Flex V2 is even more flexible than the previous version thanks to its new patterning, which reduces tension in the shoulders and increases your freedom of movement, and a change in the arm graphics, which frees your shoulders and provides greater elasticity. This, combined with the most flexible materials on the market with the best hydrodynamic properties, makes this the fastest wetsuit for open water swimmers.
Enjoy the comfort provided by the Mesh Backpack and Fabric Gloves, both included when you buy an Apex Flex V2. These accessories allow you to store and transport your wetsuit in the backpack and to put it on without damaging the material.
Characteristics
Low and Neutral Buoyancy
The Apex Flex V2’s low buoyancy allows you to maintain a natural position in the water, especially if you’re an experienced swimmer with refined technique.
Maximum Freedom
Having total freedom of movement when swimming can help you maximize your potential and perform at your best at your triathlon competitions. For this reason, the Apex Flex V2 offers maximum elasticity, owing to the combination of Yamamoto 44+ and 0.88 Free technologies. Plus, thanks to its new innovative patterning in the shoulders, you’ll feel you have a more natural stroke at your next competition.
Zero Interference
With the Apex Flex V2, you’ll feel as if you were moving through the water without a wetsuit on, which helps you maximise your potential during the swim stage. Improving this product isn’t easy, but at Orca, we’ve strived to improve even the tiniest of details. For example, the graphics in the shoulders have been removed for greater elasticity.
Quick Transition
The combination of highly hydrophobic materials and a shorter zip allows you to take the suit off quickly, saving you seconds during the transition at your next triathlon competition.
Composition:
Neoprene : 95 %, Polyamide (Nylon) : 5 %
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 each use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.
Once clean, make sure prevent it from holding onto too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage the materials.
Storage
Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being stretched 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 over a hanger from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any kind of 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.
Recommendations for use
1) If your suit has Velcro, avoid contact between the Velcro and the inner lining of the wetsuit, as it will damage the fibers in the material. Keep the Velcro covered with the provided fabric patch or make sure that the Velcro is closed, so that the rough part of the Velcro does not damage the inside of your suit.
2) For all suits, especially those made with neoprene, be careful not to damage the neoprene material with your nails when putting on or taking off the suit, as this type of damage is not covered by our warranty policy.
3) Triathlon and open water suits have been designed specifically for swimming. We cannot guarantee correct functioning of the wetsuits for other activities. Any damage to the wetsuit resulting from use in activities other than swimming is not covered by our warranty policy.
4) Avoid leaning on or coming into contact with any surfaces (especially rough ones) while wearing your wetsuit.
