Orca RS1 Swimskin

Orca RS1 Swimskin Info

For those races you are no longer able to use a wetsuit, but still want to have the fastest suit the law allows, the Orca RS1 Swimskin will act as your perfect second skin.

Intended to be worn over your tri suit, the RS1 Swimskin will give you exceptional smoothness while taking on no water. Orca use their most advanced HydroSkn Dry water-repellent coating which will absorb no water even after three hours of being submerged. No buoyancy is allowed in the material itself, but it will help you retain your natural buoyancy by avoiding weighing you down with excess water. That will keep you faster over the course of the race, and result in reduced accumulated fatigue. The fully bonded seams have been incorporated to keep this the most flexible, naturally stretchy Swim Skin so that you won't feel like your position in the water is hampered by too tight a torso. Drag will be greatly reduced as a result.

Since you'll need to peel yourself out of the Swim Skin as quickly as possible at your T1, the long zipper at the back has been given an easy-to-handle pull cord so that you can move from the swim to the bike with ease and no hassle. The Orca RS1 Swimskin has been designed with a swimmer-specific cut that will allow you to do your race without worrying about water absorbency or unnecessary drag when in the drink.

Lightweight and breathable, the Orca RS1 Swimskin is perfect for the pure swimmer over any distance when a wet-suit is not wanted or required. Keep in mind, this is to be worn over your tri gear, so no chamois is included.
