The Orca Athlex Float stands out from the crowd due to its high elasticity across the upper body. Made from Yamamoto 39 with extra flexibility built into the material along the arms, shoulders and back, the suit has the best range of movement of any we have experienced on test.<\/p>\n
Some swimmers may find the arms a little thin in cold waters, but we had no problem in the British spring and summertime. The only downside is that they\u2019re a bit slower to whip off in T1, though the YKK zipper is quick and easy to use.<\/p>\n
We found the low neckline adds to the unrestricted freedom in the water, with Super Composite Skin (SCS) hydrodynamic coating helping us glide through the swim stroke.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s plenty of lift in the legs thanks to 4.5mm neoprene leg panels, without it being overly aggressive, and we were still able to kick a little without breaching the surface.<\/p>\n
Verdict:<\/strong> Buoyant and flexible for a natural-feeling swim, with heaps of tech for only \u00a3200<\/p>\nScore:<\/strong> 92%<\/p>\n
