The Tango Short Sleeve V2 design allows you to move with total freedom on your board thanks to its 100% Yamamoto neoprene construction.
The use of Yamamoto 40 neoprene in the shoulders alongside the new, innovative shoulder design results in a very stretchy suit. Additionally, the GBS seams provide an even higher degree of elasticity, allowing you to surf hassle-free.
The use of Shield+ technology adds protection to the knees and prevents early wearing. The Duraskin outer fabric (except on the arms) makes the suit more resistant to abrasion and is subsequently more durable. In addition, the inner taping on the seams increases their resistance and durability.
Neoprene : 90 %, Polyamide (Nylon) : 10 %
Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after each use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.
Once clean, make sure prevent it from holding onto too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage the materials.
Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being stretched for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance.
The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped over a hanger from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any kind of tension on them.
For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders (Apex Flex or Apex Flow), it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.
1) If your suit has Velcro, avoid contact between the Velcro and the inner lining of the wetsuit, as it will damage the fibers in the material. Keep the Velcro covered with the provided fabric patch or make sure that the Velcro is closed, so that the rough part of the Velcro does not damage the inside of your suit.
2) For all suits, especially those made with neoprene, be careful not to damage the neoprene material with your nails when putting on or taking off the suit, as this type of damage is not covered by our warranty policy.
3) Triathlon and open water suits have been designed specifically for swimming. We cannot guarantee correct functioning of the wetsuits for other activities. Any damage to the wetsuit resulting from use in activities other than swimming is not covered by our warranty policy.
4) Avoid leaning on or coming into contact with any surfaces (especially rough ones) while wearing your wetsuit.
General Information
Orca's most advanced technologies are used in the design of the Tango Short Sleeve to provide maximum elasticity throughout the body, especially in the shoulders, arms and backs. This way, you can enjoy the waves and move freely without feeling restricted by a wetsuit.
DuraSkin 40 + (DS 40+) technology combines high-stretch Yamamoto 40 neoprene, Duraskin outer fabric, and Infinity Skin 2 inner lining. The outer Duraskin fabric offers great confort due to its fast-drying properties, and it is very resistant to abrasion from equipment, such as your surfboard. The Infinity Skin 2 inner lining contains bamboo fibers that provide added flexibility for surfing while reducing odors and resisting bacteria. This combination also results in maximum flexibility to the shoulders of Orca surf wetsuits, which require 60% less force to stretch than conventional neoprene, and in a more durable wetsuit than traditional neoprene.
8mm YKK zippers are high-performance and high-durability components. The durability of the zipper will help your suit last for a long service life, as well as prevent water from getting into the wetsuit during your surfing sessions.
Orca women's wetsuits have patterns specifically designed for the female body, which improve both their performance and comfort. A better fit allows the materials to function within their optimal elasticity ranges and as the wetsuit fits closer to the skin, water is prevented from entering, improving overall thermal confort.
With the Tango Short Sleeve, you will be able to surf the waves for longer without worrying about the cold. The use of specific technologies creates an optimal wetsuit seal, preventing the entry of water and increasing thermal confort, allowing you to surf much more comfortably.
Laser cutting in the neck area combined with the Smoothskin finish allows the wetsuit to seal to the body and prevents chafing. This combination and seal prevent water from flowing inside the suit, increasing the surfer's thermal comfort.
The Tango Short Sleeve is designed to be worn for a long time without concern for wear and tear. The use of materials that are highly resistant to abrasion guarantees the durability of the wetsuit, despite the many hours you may spend on your surfboard.
Shield+ technology reinforces the knee area of the wetsuit with inner patches. This prevents wear from the surfboard or sand, which increases the suit’s durability and resistance. Shield+ combines a fabric resistant to abrasion and tears with highly elastic neoprene in order to allow you a greater range of movement on your board.
