Orca's new Kaisei wetsuit combines a light, flexible neoprene with a host of key features to make it the ideal wetsuit for those taking their first steps into triathlon and open water swimming. Constructed from a durable, flexible, water-resistant, smoothskin neoprene, the Kaisei provides excellent buoyancy and thermal protection. Those unfamiliar with wetsuit swimming will appreciate the features that only a few years ago were present in intermediate level wetsuits. The 5mm HydroLift body panels on the front and back will help with body position in the water, while the 2mm QuadraFlex underarm panel and DeltaStretch shoulder panel help provide an excellent range of motion.

PROJECT KAISEI - CLEARING UP THE GREAT PLASTIC GARBAGE PATCH: In early 2009, Orca partnered with Project Kaisei - a group committed to raising awareness of the damage the world's discarded plastics are doing to our oceans and marine life. Orca is supporting Project Kaisei's expeditions to an area in the Pacific, roughly twice the size of Texas, where through a quirk of ocean currents, huge volumes of plastic and debris accumulates. We are also making changes to how we operate as a business and to raise awareness of the issue and Project Kaisei through our networks. "Kaisei" means "Ocean Planet" in Japanese and is the name of Project Kaisei's main expedition ship. By purchasing an Orca Kaisei wetsuit you are directly supporting Project Kaisei.
