The Orca Zen wetsuit combines the most efficient design with the most technical materials to minimize water resistance, making this the most hydrodynamic suit on the market. The fitted design and the use of high elasticity materials allow the wetsuit to fit to the body like a second skin, maximizing performance.
The Zen wetsuit is designed to feel like a second skin. Its elastic properties improve its fit so that you can get the most out of your dives, ensuring minimal water entry and preventing water pockets from forming.
The application of the most advanced surface coatings, which minimize your body's water resistance, improves your hydrodynamics. This allows you to perform better, score higher on your dives, and enjoy your freediving adventures.
The Zen's pattern and selection of materials give it a high level of elasticity, allowing it to adjust perfectly to your body and its movements during descent. The inverted zipper and optimized seams in the lower back also provide you with total freedom of movement in your hips and legs
Care instructions for longer durability
Cleaning
Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. Orca recommends washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.
Once clean, be sure to prevent it from holding on to too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage its materials.
Storage
Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being strained 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 from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any 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.
