The Orca Dream Kona V2 is the triathlon race suit designed for pro performance
Keen to find the same marginal gains as the pros come race day? Then you need a tri-suit specifically engineered for age-group athletes, but which integrates the same high-performance technologies previously reserved for professional triathletes.
Conceived by elite athletes including Ironman champ Sebastian Kienle and perfected through exhaustive testing in labs, wind tunnels, and real-world racing, the Dream Kona V2 tri-suit represents the pinnacle of design, engineered exclusively for the most demanding users seeking professional-level performance.
Lab-tested
So how is it different? The Italian fabric used in the back, shoulders and sleeves has been specifically designed to reduce friction with the air and to improve the triathlete’s aerodynamics. Additionally, testing has proven that the inclusion of horizontal grooves in the back and vertical grooves in the sleeves saves an average of 8W at 40km/h compared to the Athlex Aero Race Suit.
The Dream Kona V2 tri-suit’s fabrics employ Vapour Cool technology, which helps to expel body heat and moisture more efficiently. Numerous studies have revealed that after an hour of high intensity exercise in a room at 21°C, a triathlete wearing the Dream Kona V2 has on average a body temperature of 2°C lower than when wearing conventional fabrics. This is a result of the silver thread that makes up the fabric in the chest and side panels, making it a highly efficient fabric in terms of the reduction of body heat. This is what makes a difference in the final stage of the race.
In order for triathletes to reach their full potential, it’s also important to highlight that the trisuit’s patterning has been optimized for a larger age grouper population with this in mind, meaning the wearer feels complete freedom in all three stages of the race. This tri-suit is designed to fit the triathlete’s body perfectly, to have total freedom of movement. In addition, the back pockets have been specifically designed in a way that doesn’t affect the triathlete’s aerodynamics in the cycling stage but still offers enough space for all the nutritional fuel they need.
The Dream Kona V2 trisuit incorporates a new Italian cycling pad exclusive to Orca, made with eco-graphene, which helps reduce heat and moisture. This cycling pad will help you reach your full potential in the cycling stage. Plus, thanks to its optimised design for triathlon, you won’t feel restricted at any point during the running stage.
