Orca Equip Triathlon Wetsuit - Full Sleeve (For Men)

I bought this to use for a couple local triathlons. I Have not pulled a wetsuit on for 20 years, so the technology has obviously changed. Seems small for the reported size, but once it is on, does not impede movement. A good value for its intended use.

Awkward fit.

Even though I went by the sizing chart, the first one I received was a little too small so I returned it for a bigger size. I'm thrilled with my purchase. I used it for the first time last week and it was perfect. A great wetsuit for a first time triathlete.

Unfortunately, this wetsuit never made it into the water because I had problems with fit issues. Being 5'10" and 188 lbs, my size should be an 8 (unless I'm reading the size chart wrong). I had problems just getting the wetsuit on let alone trying to zip it up! If you decide to purchase this wetsuit, I would suggest that you go with the chart if you're on lower end of the weight scale for what they recommend. Otherwise, expect to take some time putting the wetsuit on...

I am into my first year of trying multisport. I had heard that a wetsuit helps with the swim tremendously, but was reluctant to spend the $300 plus that most wetsuits cost. After doing a lot of research into what makes a good triathlon wetsuit good, this one has a lot of features at a price that cannot be beat! The seams are stitched and taped, it has multiple panel thickness placed where you need for optimal flexibility at the shoulders with extra bouyancy at the legs, friction panels along the forearms, easy to remove leggings (it gets easier to remove when wet). I tried it out for the first time yesterday and was elated with it's performance. The only problem now is going back to swimming without a wetsuit...

Worked great for my first triathlon!
