Orca Alpha (1)

Does anyone have any experience with this suit? I’m interested in it, however haven’t seen one in person.

I can’t comment on the Alpha, but I’ve been very happy with my Sonar.

Relative to other swimmers, I feel like I’m now relatively stronger in a wetsuit-legal swim than non wetsuit (the reverse was definitely true last year with my previous wetsuit.) Overall swim finish places this year with a wetsuit: 1st, 3rd, 3rd, 1st and 2nd; without a wetsuit: 3rd, 10th, 4th. (Well, the 10th place I got way off course following two other people. Lesson learned.)

In any case, the suit is defintely fast and has reasonable flexibility in the shoulders. My shoulders were a little tired during the HIM swim, but they probably should be. Fit is very good, but I got two sizes bigger than their sizing chart would suggest.
