The wetsuit combines high levels of flexibility with high levels of buoyancy. This Orca Sonar is one the best mid-priced wetsuits that offers some of the technology used in higher-end wetsuits.
The Sonar is the perfect wetsuit for swimmers who want a high-quality wetsuit that gives flexibility and buoyancy.
Key Features:
- Maximum Buoyancy: Aerodome - This material alone gives the wetsuit 30% extra buoyancy to the wetsuit
- Maximum Support - CLS technology helps support your abdomen preventing any twisting. Helps maintain the correct position in the water.
- Long Strokes - 1.5mm Yamamoto neoprene made from a 39-grade neoprene and a super stretch lining makes it extremely flexible.
- SUPER COMPOSITE SKIN (SCS) - reduces friction while swimming

SONAR
The Sonar is the complete package, the crème de la crème of wetsuits. The most versatile suit in our range, most of the triathlete community will find it fits their budget and technical requirements. Ideal for Total Swimmers looking for the perfect balance between flexibility and buoyancy, this wetsuit has both right where you need them: Buoyancy in the lower body and flexibility up top. This combination helps you to keep the best position in the water, reducing drag. Regardless of the kit you´ve used up to now, this benchmark wetsuit has been specifically designed to never let you down.
THE TECHNOLOGIES
-
YAMAMOTO
The Yamamoto Corporation is the world’s main supplier of high performance neoprene. Its seal represents quality, technology and innovation.
-
39 CELL
Yamamoto 39cell is an extremely flexible neoprene which supports an uninhibited natural swimming motion. 39cell extends to a 513% elongation rate, meaning this material is sure to move with you. Added benefits of zero water absorption and zero weight variation can mean only one thing: more speed. A fine balance between buoyancy and flexibility, 39cell is a durable material which will stand the test of time and distance, representing the best neoprene available in it’s class.
-
SUPER COMPOSITE SKIN (SCS)
Super Composite Skin (SCS) is the leading triathlon wetsuit lining because of its capacity to reduce friction and to provide the best possible hydrodynamics. Orca uses the most innovative version of Nano SCS, developed by the Yamamoto company, to ensure top speed in the water. The friction coefficient in the water of Orca’s Nano SCS is 0.026, as compared to an average of 4.0 for the other wetsuits.
-
INFINITY SKIN
The inner Infinity Skin lining provides the feeling of absolute freedom. Designed based on a high-elasticity nylon that incorporates bamboo fibres, this technology is applied to the lining of our wetsuits to offer you greater flexibility with each stroke. This cloth maintains body heat longer, reduces body odor and the appearance of bacteria in your wetsuit. It is also made from natural eco-friendly materials to prevent the appearance of skin irritation and care for the environment.
-
SUPER STRETCH
The all-new SuperStretch lining featured on the chest of the Sonar is a lightweight lining that is super stretchy due to it’s makeup and the way it has been knitted. It absorbs little water, meaning the panel stays more buoyant and contributes to making the chest really stretchy for unrestricted breathing.
-
AERODOME 2
This new technology applied to the lower trunk area provides 30% greater buoyancy for swimmers. The secret lies in its composition: hundreds of cavities located between two layers of previously treated neoprene. Unlike the Exo-lift, the inner layer of this material is made up of a high-quality lining that gives the wetsuit greater elasticity. Orca uses this material in the areas with the greatest body weight to raise you up to an optimal position in the water.
