Orca's research and development team has worked with the world's leading endurance distance athletes to re-engineer the Orca 226 Kompression Racesuit to set a new benchmark for performance, comfort and durability.

Orca's 70 denier Killaskn Kompress fabric is scientifically proven to provide optimum levels of active and graduated compression, and is used in the leg and shoulder areas to help athletes to race further, faster. Panels of the new Tri-Enduro mesh fabric are used across the back for higher levels of breathability and moisture wicking.

The latest generation Vapour fabric has been refined for an even better fit and comfort. The 3.5mm Tri-tech chamois gives increased protection on the bike, and comfort on the run. Other endurance distance-specific features include safety elastic pockets, reflective elements for visibility in low light, comfortable, low drag Hydroseal leg hems, and a new internal chest pocket, perfect for nutrition or a music player.

Orca's 226 range has established a reputation amongst endurance distance triathletes around the world, including double Ironman world champion Craig Alexander, because of its performance, comfort and durability. 226 represents the number of kilometres in an Ironman event, and 226 garments have regularly taken out gear tests by leading triathlon publications.

 

Products in the 226 range have equally proved popular with athletes taking on other challenges, including multisport races and ultra long distance events.
