The Athlex Flex wetsuit offers a combination of high elasticity and medium buoyancy, for swimmers who are able to maintain a good position in the water without added buoyancy. The thin materials in the upper body and those of medium thickness in the legs result in a wetsuit that provides maximum freedom of movement.
Enjoy the convenience of the Fabric Gloves, included with the purchase of the Athlex Flex, which allow you to put on your neoprene without damaging the material.
The Athlex Flex wetsuit offers a combination of high elasticity and medium buoyancy, for swimmers who are able to maintain a good position in the water without added buoyancy. The thin materials in the upper body and those of medium thickness in the legs result in a wetsuit that provides maximum freedom of movement.
The Orca Flex range is specifically designed for swimmers without technical deficiencies who can maintain a correct position in the water, horizontal and elevated. These swimmers need extra flexibility so that their kicking technique is not affected by other factors. The minimal buoyancy used in this range is designed not to alter the position of these triathletes, since it is important that they naturally have the correct positioning in the water. Using the right materials, the triathlete achieves the feeling of freedom in the water and is provided, in addition to the necessary thermal insulation, slight buoyancy, to make swimming even more comfortable.
High elasticity
With the Athlex Flex, you can swim without restriction and with total freedom of movement in your next triathlon. Thanks to the materials in the shoulder, arm, and back areas, the wetsuit has a high level of elasticity in the upper body.
Neutral buoyancy
If you've mastered your swimming technique and have experience in open water, the neutral buoyancy of this wetsuit will allow you maintain your natural body position in the water so that you can give each stroke your all.
Hydrodynamics
The materials used in this wetsuit have been treated with SCS technology which improves hydrodynamics. This helps increase your speed in the water so you can perform to your full potential in the swimming segment of your next triathlon race.
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.
