The Predator is a high-end wetsuit that is designed for swimmers who don’t want to compromise and want the most flexible the highest amount of buoyancy in their wetsuit
Key Features:
- 0.88 FREE - 0.5mm thick combines the best lining with a titanium coating for better thermal insulation. The most elastic material on the market.
- Exo-Lift - Combines a neoprene layer, aerodome technology and a third interior layer for maximum buoyancy and hydrodynamics
- Aerodome - This material alone gives the wetsuit 30% extra buoyancy to the wetsuit
- Core Lateral Stabiliser (CLS) with Exo-Cell - CLS is a panel made from Exo-cell that provides lateral rigidity on the abdomen to strengthen your core and thus avoid twisting
- Yamamoto 44 neoprene - The exclusive Yamamoto 44 technology from Orca’s high-end range is the most elastic version of 1.5 mm neoprene.
- Zero Chafing - Laser cutting used in the neck seam, reduces friction and prevents chafing
Wetsuit Sizing:
Wetsuit sizing is one of the hardest but most crucial parts of selecting the best wetsuit. Getting the right sized wetsuit can be a trial-and-error process. For this reason, we advise trying on a range of different wetsuits in different sizes and different makes and models as the exact shape and size of a wetsuit can vary even between wetsuits from the same brand. Quite often the manufactures size guides don’t reflect the best size for you.

PREDATOR
After 25 years of innovation in the triathlon industry, Orca is launching its most advanced wetsuit ever. The new Predator is ideal for swimmers who are seeking the perfect balance between buoyancy and flexibility. Designed for the Total Swimmer, it achieves the highest possible efficiency by pinpointing buoyancy in your legs and providing flexibility in your upper body. It elevates your hip to correctly position your entire body, reducing hydrodynamic restriction as much as possible. The most advanced technology for greater performance.
THE HIGHLIGHTS
THE TECHNOLOGIES
-
YAMAMOTO
Orca uses Yamamoto neoprene in all its products, a durable, lightweight and high-performance material. The construction of the panels and the combination of the various high-quality materials place our wetsuits at the forefront of the sector.
-
0.88 FREE
The 0.88 Free technology has been developed with Yamamoto exclusively for Orca. Stretching this neoprene requires 90% less strength than conventional neoprene, with immediate recovery.
-
CORE LATERAL STABILISER (CLS) WITH EXO-CELL
CLS is a panel made from Exo-cell that provides lateral rigidity on the abdomen to strengthen your core and thus prevent twisting. This technology helps you maintain an effective technique longer, raising your lower trunk for better performance, thanks to its 5-mm thick side Exo-cell panels that provide 25% more buoyancy than the Aerodome.
-
EXO-CELL
Exo-cell technology has a sandwichlike construction that consists of two layers of neoprene and a lightweight foam that provides maximum buoyancy to the swimmer. Thanks to its low density, it is one of the highest buoyancy materials available in the range, and with only 3% water absorption, its buoyancy does not decrease throughout the workout.
-
44 CELL
The exclusive Yamamoto 44 technology from Orca’s high-end range is the most elastic version of 1.5 mm neoprene. Stretching this neoprene requires 90% less strength than conventional neoprene.
-
HYDROLITE
Hydrolite technology helps the wetsuit come off more easily, making transitions even faster.
-
NANO ICE SCS
Nano Ice SCS is a premium treatment in the high range, which improves the hydrodynamics of the most demanding swimmers
-
INFINITY SKIN 2
The Infinity Skin 2 inner lining provides a feeling of absolute freedom. Designed from a highelasticity nylon incorporating bamboo fibers, this technology is used in the lining of our wetsuit to provide greater flexibility in every stroke. It maintains body heat longer and reduces bad odors and the presence of bacteria in your neoprene. It is also composed of natural and environmentally sustainable materials, to avoid skin irritation and to care for the environment.
-
AERODOME 2
Aerodome 2 consists of small air cavities located between two layers of pre-treated neoprene which provides increased buoyancy. Unlike Exo-lift, the inner layer of this material is composed of a high-quality lining that gives the neoprene more elasticity. With only 3% water absorption, its buoyancy does not decrease throughout the workout.
-
CORE LATERAL STABILIZER (CLS)
The Core Lateral Stabilizer (CLS) system provides support in the abdomen area to prevent twisting while swimming.
