FlatLock Stitching promotes hydrodynamics and increases garment-to-skin comfort. Worn in the swim or rolled down into swim briefs or tri pants, the Orca Tri Swim Singlet is now longer for greater coverage, also featuring a rear Control Zip. The water repellent feather weight fabric moulds to your body, ensuring faster swims and winning performance.
· TriSkin – A five step manufacturing process, involving two layers of water resistant silicone coating and fused elastane and polyester yarn to create TriSkin – one of the most water-resistant performance fabrics in the world. Fabric construction allows sweat particles to be transported away from the body, providing the wearer with excellent moisture management. In TriSkin athletes swim faster with less drag in the water, while remaining dry and cool on the bike and run.
· WR – A chemical finish applied to fabric with the purpose of creating a resistance to water absorption or entry. This results in drops of water ‘beading up’ and effectively rolling off the fabric, rather than soaking in.
· FlatLock Stitching – A stitching technique which joins fabrics edge to edge, resulting in a low bulk, flexible seam which sits comfortable against the skin.
· Control Zip – A 3-coil zip with a control mechanism which looks like a zip at any chosen point for water-seal in the swim, or breathablity on the bike and run. This mechanism also allows for a quick-release unlock function.
