The Openwater Vitalis Hi-Vis is specifically designed for swimming and training in open water safely and with maximum visibility, thanks to its orange panels which stand out in contrast to the color of the sea. It also provides the thermal comfort needed to maintain an ideal body temperature without sacrificing movement.

Technology
Download the Orca Vitalis Hi-Vis Whitepaper here- Yamamoto: Orca wetsuits are made from 100% Japanese Yamamoto neoprene. The performance of this neoprene, which is produced from limestone, is unmatched. Its elastic properties are superior to that of any other type of neoprene, feeling it fluid and endlessly elastic while surfing. Its low weight and density improve thermal insulation, resulting in a light and comfortable suit./li>
- 39HV: The Yamamoto 39 material, combined with high-visibility fabric and the Infinity Skin 2 inner lining, gives the wetsuit a high level of visibility, so that you can be locatable in any weather conditions. The lining also contains bamboo fibers which provide more flexibility and reduce odor, preventing the growth of bacteria.
- 38: Elasticity, high flexibility and total freedom of movement are brought together thanks to the combination of Yamamoto 38 neoprene, Infinity Skin 2 lining and Smoothskin surface finish. With this combination the open water swimmer will use 30% less force in fast movements and short strokes, while slower and wider movements will require 40% less force than with any other conventional neoprene.
- Ultimate Seal Collar: Laser cutting in the neck area combined with the Hydrolite inner lining allows the wetsuit to seal to the body and prevents chafing. This combination and seal prevent water from flowing inside the suit, improving both thermal insulation and hydrodynamics for the swimmer.
- YKK 10: YKK zippers are high-performance and durable features. The sturdiness of these zippers gives them a long service life and they are of such high quality that they prevent water from flowing through the wetsuit while swimming.
- Women's Model - V Fit: Orca women's wetsuits are designed with patterns specific to the female body, which improves both their performance and comfort. A better fit allows the materials to function in their optimal elasticity ranges and as the wetsuit fits closer to the skin, water is prevented from entering, improving overall thermal insulation and hydrodynamics.
