Our Best Sellers, the Orca Athlex Float (men or women) is a triathlon wetsuit specifically designed for beginner and recreational swimmers looking for outstanding buoyancy and all-day comfort in open water.

The Orca Athlex Float is engineered to provide maximum buoyancy, particularly through the legs. Strategically placed thicker neoprene panels help lift the lower body, preventing the legs from sinking and improving overall body position in the water.

The Orca Athlex Float is especially recommended for swimmers whose legs tend to sink in the water.
