The Apex Float V2 wetsuit, made with Yamamoto neoprene, is the most buoyant suit in Orca’s entire range. This wetsuit incorporates specific technologies with maximum buoyancy and technical correction, making this suit ideal for when you want to save energy during long distance triathlons or for those swimmers who need help maintaining a good position in the water. Plus, a new patterning in the shoulders has been incorporated into this new model, reducing tension in the area and increasing your freedom of movement. The graphics in the upper back have also been removed, allowing you to carry out your stroke without restrictions.
Enjoy the comfort provided by the Mesh Backpack and Fabric Gloves, both included when you buy an Apex Float V2. These accessories allow you to store and transport your wetsuit in the backpack and to put it on without damaging the material.
Features:
- Maximum buoyancy:Whether you want to save energy during long distance triathlons or you’re looking for extra support to help you maintain your position in the water, the Apex Float V2 is for you. Specific technologies have been incorporated into the wetsuit to help you achieve maximum buoyancy and a consistent swimming technique, correcting your posture so you can perform at your best.
- Maximum elasticity: The Apex Float V2 wetsuit incorporates materials like Yamamoto 40 in the shoulders or High Elbow Panel technology in the arms, allowing you to enjoy a greater sensation of freedom. It also includes a new innovative patterning in the shoulders, helping your stroke feel natural and without restrictions. Finding new improvements with this product isn’t easy, but at Orca, we’ve strived to improve even the smallest details, for example, the graphics in the shoulders have been removed for greater elasticity.
- Thermal comfort: Thanks to its 3mm thickness in the chest and back and 5mm in the legs, this wetsuit will protect you against cold sea temperatures during the swim stage of your triathlons.
- Neutral buoyancy: This wetsuit’s distribution of thicknesses and patterning provides it with neutral buoyancy, which naturally helps to maintain your body in a horizontal position. This enables you to swim with total freedom and maintain a consistent technique at all times.
- Quick transition: The use of highly hydrophobic materials allows you to take your suit off quickly, saving you seconds during the transition of your next triathlon competition.

Product Care:
Cleaning
Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after each use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.
Once clean, make sure prevent it from holding onto too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage the materials.
Storage
Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being stretched for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance.
The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped over a hanger from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any kind of tension on them.
For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders (Apex Flex or Apex Flow), it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.
Recommendations for use
1) If your suit has Velcro, avoid contact between the Velcro and the inner lining of the wetsuit, as it will damage the fibers in the material. Keep the Velcro covered with the provided fabric patch or make sure that the Velcro is closed, so that the rough part of the Velcro does not damage the inside of your suit.
2) For all suits, especially those made with neoprene, be careful not to damage the neoprene material with your nails when putting on or taking off the suit, as this type of damage is not covered by our warranty policy.
3) Triathlon and open water suits have been designed specifically for swimming. We cannot guarantee correct functioning of the wetsuits for other activities. Any damage to the wetsuit resulting from use in activities other than swimming is not covered by our warranty policy.
4) Avoid leaning on or coming into contact with any surfaces (especially rough ones) while wearing your wetsuit.
