Size Chart:
The Athlex Flow wetsuit achieves a perfect balance between elasticity and buoyancy. High-elasticity materials are incorporated in the upper body, while buoyancy technologies are featured in the legs. These technologies allow the swimmer to correct their position in the water, achieving a more hydrodynamic posture.
Enjoy the conveniences of the Mesh Backpack and Knit Gloves, included with the purchase of the Athlex Flow. These accessories allow you to store, transport and put on your neoprene without damaging the material.
The Athlex Flow is a new (r)evolution of the Orca Sonar.
The new Athlex Flow triathlon wetsuit is the perfect balance between elasticity and buoyancy. High-elasticity materials are incorporated in the upper body, while buoyancy technologies are featured in the legs. These technologies allow the swimmer to correct their position in the water, achieving a more hydrodynamic posture.
The Flow range provides some buoyancy in the legs, either to achieve a slight leg lift to help improve horizontal posture and optimize kicking technique, or to achieve less muscle wasting in the lower body. In addition, as there is no upper body deficiency, you need flexibility in this area so that the stroke is not altered. Orca offers a solution that combines the technology applied in the Flex range in the upper part and the technology of the Float range in the lower part.
High buoyancy
The specific technologies included in the new Athlex Flow increase its buoyancy. This will allow you to get the most out of your swimming technique, since you will be able to maintain a horizontal and elevated position in the water for longer.
High elasticity
The materials in the shoulder, arm, and back areas give this wetsuit a high level of elasticity in the upper body, allowing you to swim the entire segment without any restrictions.
Hydrodynamics
To improve hydrodynamics and increase your speed in the water, the materials used in this wetsuit have been treated with SCS technology. In your next competition, nothing will be able to slow you down.
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.
