Tango 3:2 Standard ($379), and Hooded ($449): Total Flexibility and Comfort
The Tango 3:2 wetsuit is expertly crafted for warm waters, offering a perfect blend of lightweight flexibility and robust performance. Made from premium Yamamoto neoprene with 3mm on the leg, chest, and back panels that offer exceptional thermal comfort and quick drying capabilities. Of course, the wetsuit is fully taped internally to avoid water leakage. While the 2mm thickness panels are placed in the shoulder, arm, and underarms for exceptional flexibility. Additionally, shoulder panels are enhanced by DS 40+ technology, ensuring effortless paddling. New and advanced patterning throughout the wetsuit provides a tailored fit and features a separating YKK8 front zip for added stretch.
In surfing, comfort and fit are key. That’s why Orca has worked so hard to develop different men’s and women’s wetsuits in terms of patterning and construction. The VFit women’s pattern will allow the surfer to enjoy her passion without restrictions. The two-sided open closure system will also allow her to put on and take off the suit very easily and prevent water from entering while she surfs.
The chest zip closure system (one side blind on the men’s styles) and Smoothskin finish at the inner side of the wrists and neck effectively prevent water entry and minimize air bubbles. Reinforced arm and leg GBS seam end with double side tapings, abrasion resistant DuraSkin fabric, and Shield+ knee panels, the Tango 3:2 is built for durability and long-lasting performance, making it an ideal choice for all your surf adventures.
The Tango 3:2 Hooded wetsuit is designed for cooler, windy conditions, providing both protection and flexibility with a 2mm hood. The hood, as well as the chest and back, have been crafted from soft, quick-drying inner lining and fine mesh neoprene on the outside. The outside neoprene works like a shield, effectively blocking the wind while maintaining comfort, so you stay warm during windy days in water that isn’t too cold.
