Technology

The Mantra has an inverted zip, and optimised seams in the lower back, which Orca says give freedom of movement in the hips and legs. Orca.com Mantra Men Freedive Wetsuit page (REF MN43TT01), Wayback snapshot 9 Dec 2023

Orca's technology notes for the Mantra list a combination of Yamamoto 39 neoprene, Infinity Skin 2 lining and Smoothskin surface finish for elasticity and freedom of movement. Orca.com Mantra Men Freedive Wetsuit page (REF MN43TT01), Wayback snapshot 9 Dec 2023

Orca says Yamamoto 39 neoprene is combined with Infinity Skin 2 lining and an SCS surface coating, and that the smooth SCS finish reduces resistance and friction in the water. It says the surface treatments are applied to the materials in the torso and legs. Orca.com Mantra Men Freedive Wetsuit page (REF MN43TT01), Wayback snapshot 9 Dec 2023

Orca says the Mantra has a 'Batwing' construction, a second layer of neoprene that prevents water seeping through the zipper and coming into direct contact with the body. Orca.com Mantra Men Freedive Wetsuit page (REF MN43TT01), Wayback snapshot 9 Dec 2023

Orca says the compressive Hydrolite technology improves the seal where water could get in, such as the arms and neck, and is also used in the legs to improve the fit. Orca.com Mantra Men Freedive Wetsuit page (REF MN43TT01), Wayback snapshot 9 Dec 2023

Orca lists YKK8 among the Mantra's technologies and describes 8 mm YKK zippers as high-performance, high-durability components. Orca.com Mantra Men Freedive Wetsuit page (REF MN43TT01), Wayback snapshot 9 Dec 2023

Care

Orca says to wash the wetsuit with plenty of water after each use, using a small amount of neutral pH soap if needed and rinsing it out. Then air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, out of direct sunlight, which can damage the materials. Orca.com Mantra Men Freedive Wetsuit page (REF MN43TT01), Wayback snapshot 9 Dec 2023

Orca says the best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped over a hanger from its waist. It says Apex Flex and Apex Flow wetsuits should not be put on a hanger from the shoulder area, and that for the rest of its models a wide hanger can be used as long as the shoulder and neck area is not strained. Orca.com Mantra Men Freedive Wetsuit page (REF MN43TT01), Wayback snapshot 9 Dec 2023

Orca says to be careful not to damage the neoprene with your nails when putting the suit on or taking it off, and that this type of damage is not covered by its warranty policy. Orca.com Mantra Men Freedive Wetsuit page (REF MN43TT01), Wayback snapshot 9 Dec 2023

Made for

The Mantra Men is listed by Orca as a freediving wetsuit, developed with high-quality materials that Orca says provide more durability without sacrificing performance. Orca.com Mantra Men Freedive Wetsuit page (REF MN43TT01), Wayback snapshot 9 Dec 2023

Size guide

ORCA Sizing guide

Wetsuits

Different wetsuits have different fits.

Thanks to the high elasticity of the materials, the more flexible wetsuits adapt better to the swimmer’s body than those with less elasticity.

If you’re choosing a wetsuit with less flexibility, you should select a size that fits well to your body.

We always recommend trying the wetsuit on to make sure that the fit feels right. However, should you have any questions, contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.

One piece wetsuits

When selecting the ideal wetsuit size, three measurements should be taken into account: chest circumference, height and weight. When in doubt, we recommend choosing the size that best fits your chest circumference, since it is important that the wetsuit is well- fitted in this area.

Two piece wetsuits

To determine the ideal size of a two-piece wetsuit, four measurements should be taken into account: chest circumference, waist, height and weight.

Tops

The chest circumference, height and weight help to figure out which size top will fit best. When in doubt, the chest circumference should be the most closely fitted.

When selecting your size, your chest, waist and hip measurements should be referenced. Don’t forget that each range is different and has a different elasticity, compression and pattern. To ensure a better fit, Orca has developed its own size chart for garments in each range.

HIRU

Size guide for top apparel

HIRU tops have 3 types of fits.

For the best jersey fit, take your measurements based on the diagram and compare your results with the following table.

When deciding on a size, please consider that our apparel fits snug, so we recommend ordering at least one size up if your body measurements are borderline or between sizes.

HIRU designs each product to adapt differently and take advantage of the intrinsic characteristics of the fabrics and materials used in each one.

Bibshort size guide

By following these simple steps, you will find the right shorts for racing, training or leisure rides. Adjust both the bottom and the straps snugly to the body so there are no wrinkles. You’ll experience a light, sticky feel.

Simulate a bike position for a few seconds and check for adequate mobility, then try pinching the fabric in the thigh area. If the fabric returns to its original position upon release, then it’s the right size.

Conversely, if you feel rubbing or constriction, or the seams or straps are too tight, try a larger size. The straps, the elastic bands or the lower part of the leg tend to roll up but can be easily returned to their place with a few small gestures.

The short’s fabric is designed to provide a slight compression effect, and it’s only effective if the fabric remains close to the body.

About this product

Orca Mantra Men's Freediving Wetsuit, Black

The Orca Mantra is a wetsuit developed with high-quality materials that provide more durability without sacrificing performance. The high-elasticity materials provide a perfect fit and allow the wearer to enjoy freediving sessions without any restrictions.

FIT
The innovative materials and elastic properties of the Mantra wetsuit allow the suit to fit to your body comfortably. Its design minimizes water entry and the formation of water pockets, improving your freediving performance.

DURABILITY
The exterior fabric of the wetsuit's sleeves increases its durability and provides maximum protection from wear and tear. Because of the elastic properties of the combination of fabric and neoprene, the Mantra does not lose any flexibility, allowing you more freedom of movement during your descents and underwater adventures.

ELASTICITY
The highly elastic materials making up the Mantra increase its flexibility and range of motion, allowing you to move without restriction. For total freedom of movement in your hips and legs, an inverted zipper and optimized seams are incorporated into the lower back.

Questions

Before you buy

From our FAQ and returns policy. Something else? Ask us.

Does the Mantra count toward free shipping?

No. It's on sale, and sale and clearance items don't count toward the $200 free-shipping threshold. An order without $200 of full-price items ships for a flat $16.45.

How long does delivery take?

Ships direct from Orca's Australian supplier. Most orders arrive 4 to 7 business days after you order (longer to remote areas). Enter your postcode on this page for dates.

Can I return the Mantra?

Sale and clearance items are final sale, so they can't be returned for change of mind or sizing. Faulty, damaged or incorrect items are always covered.

Can I use the $20 sign-up code?

No. The $20 sign-up code isn't valid on sale or clearance items, and this is on sale. It works on full-price gear (first order, $100 or more).

How do I choose my size?

Use the ORCA Sizing guide on this page. Orca sizes by chest, height and weight; when in doubt, go by chest, because the suit has to fit well there.
