Orca – RS1 Women’s Thermal Openwater Wetsuit

Orca – RS1 Women’s Thermal Openwater Wetsuit

 

No suit keeps you warmer in all water conditions

 

The Openwater RS1 Thermal Wetsuit is claimed to be better at keeping you warm in all water than any other wetsuit in the Orca range.

 

It features a specially developed inner lining to keep in as much heat as possible for open water swimming. It also has a second layer of ‘batwing’ neoprene that provides more insulation along the lines of the zip and neck areas, which is effective at keeping out cold water.

 

 

GARMENT FEATURES AND BENEFITS

 EXTRA WARMTH

For greater thermal insulation, the RS1 THERMAL wetsuit incorporates different technologies and design features that allow it to retain heat and prevent the entry of cold water through the neck, back and zipper areas.

MAXIMUM ELASTICITY
Despite having thick neoprene in the torso, the wetsuit’s combination of high-elasticity technologies, such as Yamamoto 40+, gives you greater freedom of movement in cold waters. The elasticity of the Thermal X thermal lining gives the 5 mm panels the same elastic properties of thinner conventional panels.

“BATWING” CONSTRUCTION
The “Batwing” construction used in this wetsuit is just one of the measures to prevent you from losing heat during your swimming sessions in cold waters. The “hood” blocks the flow of water through the neck and zipper areas, providing even more thermal insulation to the wetsuit.
