The Orca Buoyancy Short is the perfect choice for dedicated triathletes and open-water swimmers seeking targeted buoyancy support during both training and competition. 5 mm neoprene panels positioned at the hips and seat elevate the body's horizontal position in the water, significantly reducing drag and improving overall efficiency. The outer fabric, composed of 80% nylon and 20% elastane, delivers a second-skin fit that moves with you through every stroke without restriction. An internal drawstring waistband combined with a flat waistband ensures a secure, pressure-free fit tailored to your individual needs. The short triathlon-style cut makes this short equally suitable for wearing beneath a wetsuit or as a standalone training garment in the pool or open water. Its clean black design pairs effortlessly with any training or race kit and maintains its appearance through repeated use and washing.
