A new garment in the Orca range, this Tri Suit is constructed from TriSkin - our highest gauge fabric, which is lighter, thinner and faster than other tri suits.
The infused water resistant treatment provides a breathable, yet water repellent seal, while the hydroseam seamless leg hems help reduce drag and increase comfort. This suit is perfect for non-wetsuit sanctioned swims or shorter distance triathlons.TRISKINA five-step manufacturing process, involving two layers of water resistant silicone coating, and fused elastane and polyester yarn to create TriSkin - one of the most water-resistant performance fabrics in the world. Fabric construction allows sweat particles to be transported away from the body, providing the wearer with excellent moisture management. In TriSkin athletes swim faster with less drag in the water, while remaining dry and cool on the bike and run.CONTROL ZIPA 3-coil zip with a control mechanism which locks the zip at any chosen point for water-seal in the swim, or breathability on the bike and run. This mechanism also allows for a quick-release unlock function.FLATLOCK STITCHINGA stitching technique which joins fabrics edge to edge, resulting in a low bulk, flexible stretch seam which sits comfortably against the skin.HYDROSEAMSThermo-plastic tape is applied to finished fabric edges to seal the fabric join, preventing water entry, and also avoising piercing the waterproof fabric with standard stitching methods. The result is an extremely flexible, water-tight, non-stitched seam which sits flat against the skin, promoting comfort and a streamlined finish.INFUSED WR (INFUSED WATER REPELLENCE)This is the result of a process which makes fabric waterproof by applying a liquid compound directly onto the fabric surface, then applying heat pressure to infuse the coating into the fabric. This process is carried out in a series of very thin layers, which then dry to form an infused waterproof, yet flexible, lightweight and breathable barrier against water entry.MICRO-FLEECE CHAMOISAn ultra-thin, non-absorbent micro-fleece chamois which provides comfort and moisture management.
Whilst working as a swim coach, and from his first hand experience in competing in triathlon, Scott Unsworth realised that the wetsuits used at the time were completely inadequate for swimming. In 1992 Scott started up a company called Performance Speedsuits Ltd, based out of his parent's house in Auckland, New Zealand. He began to develop his "Speedsuits", which featured greater flexibility and buoyancy than other existing wetsuits. The business started with Scott selling his Speedsuits from the back of his car at swim meets and triathlon events. The Speedsuits quickly gained a following amongst athletes and the business started to grow. Scott was taking his first steps towards introducing what would become Orca, to the world. A young New Zealand triathlete named Hamish Carter became one of the first athletes to sign up with the company that is now Orca. Over the next 13 years Hamish Carter went on to become one of the best known triathletes in the world - culminating in a gold medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
