Orca 2015 tri wetsuit range – first look
Yesterday saw the official launch of Orca’s new wetsuits, tri-suits and apparel. 220 went along to find out what athletes can expect from the brand…
Orca One Piece
First impressions? Buy the size up. The 10 made us feel like we were slowing being squeezed in a vice, rendering us almost hunchback in the water. Once in the 12… well it was still too tight, most noticeably across the shoulders. Like the Aqua Sphere the Orca has two layers on the front panel, […]

Orca Core Race
The Core Race is at the more affordable end of Orca’s 2009 range, but offers ?both an excellent level of comfort ?and a well-composed collection of ?technical fabrics. The supple material ensures a forgiving fit, and high levels of breathability are achieved thanks to large areas of mesh ?around the shoulders and back. Orca’s meshing […]
