I’ve just bought a new wetsuit (wore out my Roka so bought an Orca). Disappointingly, I find I am consistently 10 secs/100m slower in my new suit.
On paper, the two suits are very similar. Same quality of neoprene and similar thicknesses in the same places. But the Roka just seems more “slippery” through the water.
Is there anything I can do about this?
A friend said he’s heard of silicon sprays you can treat your suit with to make it faster…but this may be an urban myth.
Thanks.
Funny, I went the other way and I think I was faster in my Orca, or my swimming just got shitter more likely 😂
In all seriousness tho, my Orca and Roka fit quite differently, I think the Roka has more room in the shoulder region.
