Orca understands winning in water – about combining cutting edge designs with high performance raw materials. And if we can’t find an ingredient to match, we’ll invent it. Because of this innovative approach Olympic triathletes, Ironman champions and competitive people all over the world wear Orca Speedsuits. Now we’re making suits for big river swimmers, freedivers and kite surfers – because they know water is an environment we get. Orca thrives on the challenge. Like our customers, beating the odds makes us tick. Our new goal is out of the water, hammering our competitors on land. We believe life is a series of performances, so we want our customers to access products enabling them to perform anytime,

from the pre-dawn jog, to running the gauntlet within the workplace. Orca’s chosen fabric is Merino; selected because it’s naturally thermo-neutral, which means the fabric responds to changes in the micro-climate around the body. Because Merino can absorb and release moisture, the garments cool when you sweat and warm when the temperature drops. It’s also anti-bacterial, it won’t smell. And because Merino fibres are so fine, the fabric feels great next to your skin. Orca’s Merino collections are race-bred. Whether for wearing everyday or out on the race course, our products are designed with peak performance in mind. We know everyday is a race and the clock never stops ticking… Tick tock.

[OVERVIEW]

MERINO FABRIC

SWEAT IT Merino can naturally soak up to 35% of its weight in water vapour, making it twice as effective at absorbing and releasing sweat as polyester (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation). This means better active performance and higher levels of comfort. The core of the Merino fibre is hydrophilic, this allows moisture to be absorbed in larger quantities near more humid areas closer to the skin and released in other drier areas. NO ODOUR Merino is naturally anti bacterial. It resists odour. This makes Merino ideal for everyday layering wear, enabling garments to be worn a number of times before washing. SKIN SOFT The Micron is the diameter measurement of the fibre. Lower measurements equal fine grades – which feel softer next to the skin. Generally the micron range for Merino apparel is between 16-24. Orca uses Ultrafine New Zealand Merino that has a micron between 17.5-19.5.

EASY CARE Unlike other wool fibres, Merino is very durable and can be machine washed and regularly worn. WARM COOL Merino is naturally thermoneutral. It responds to changes in the micro-climate around the body. Because Merino can absorb more moisture than other fabrics there is a noticeable drop in temperature as moisture evaporates at the surface. Conversely, if the ambient temperature drops, moisture in the air can be absorbed by Merino and converted to bound liquid – a process known as ‘heat absorption’, which allows temperatures to rise. This means Merino will allow a drop in temperature when you sweat and a rise in temperature when you chill, it also retains warmth when wet. UV PROTECT Studies have shown that Merino offers natural UV protection. At over UPF50+, Merino’s UV armour is tougher than most other textiles.

WATER RESIST The surface layer of a Merino fibre is hydrophobic, allowing Merino to be more water resistant than cotton, nylon or polyester. Because of this, when moisture lightly touches the surface of a Merino garment, it naturally beads away. FIRE PROOF Merino’s unique chemical composition and its high water absorption mean it’s naturally fire resistant. It’s self extinguishing. Unlike most synthetics Merino doesn’t melt if it comes into contact with flame. BREATHE EASY Orca likes Merino because it’s an active fabric. Scientific testing has shown that a combination of natural factors contribute to an elevated ability in controlling and absorbing moisture compared with other natural or synthetic fibres. This capability to breathe lowers humidity in the micro-climate between skin and garment. Studies have shown there is less physiological demand required when exercising in both hot and cold conditions if wearing a Merino wool single jersey product. It’s this ability to absorb and evaporate moisture which gives Merino an edge over the others.

WE CARE Orca uses Merino produced in a renewable, sustainable manner. New Zealand Merino is renowned for its quality and is produced in line with global best practice for the treatment of Merino sheep. Merino is biodegradable too because it’s a natural fibre made from protein, which is very similar to human hair. Orca’s Merino can also be traced to the farm where it was grown.

ULTRAFINE MERINO JERSEY

SUPERFINE MERINO RIB

HEAVY GAUGE MERINO JERSEY

SEAMERINO

Orca has two weights of Ultrafine Jersey – 160GSM and 200GSM. The Ultrafine 17.5 micron jersey is ideal in warmer conditions, and as part of a layering system when conditions are changeable. Scientific testing shows that lightweight Merino single jersey is more breathable and provides better levels of thermoregulation in both hot and cold conditions than other natural and synthetic fibres, including nylon and polyester.

The natural knit elasticity of the Merino Superfine Rib construction make it naturally suited as a next-to-skin base layer. The Ultrafine 18.5 micron fabric is soft, comfortable, breathable and temperature regulating. The combination of the rib knit and Merino’s natural ability to breathe, control perspiration and resist odour, make the Superfine Rib ideal for multi-activity layering garments that can be worn day-in, day-out.

Orca’s 18.5 micron, 320GSM Heavy Gauge Jersey feels great next to your skin. Because the surface layer of Merino fibre is hydrophobic it’s more water resistant than cotton, nylon or polyester – so when moisture lightly touches the surface it naturally beads away. As a performance outer layer it provides protection from the elements.

Orca continually researches and develops innovative new performance fabrics. These are deployed in the construction of our high performance garments. The newest entry into Orca’s collection of world first fabric blends is high quality Merino mixed with Seacell, a fibre extracted from seaweed, that we call SeaMerino™. Similar to cosmetics, seaweed fibre contains vitamins and minerals which are naturally released by the fabric then absorbed into the skin when the garment is worn.

COOLMAX MERINO MESH

SUPERFINE MERINO/LYCRA BLEND

PERFORMANCE DUO-TECH PLATED MERINO

In combining Merino with Coolmax, Orca has developed a unique mesh fabric ideal for use in areas exposed to heavy perspiration. Merino’s natural ability to absorb and release moisture is complimented by Coolmax’s moisture wicking and drying qualities. The end result is a performance fabric designed specifically for competitive multi-activity garments.

Merino’s natural stretch and elasticity is further enhanced with the addition of performance Lycra fibres. The result is a fabric that is ideal for multi-activity garments, where movement and range of motion are important. The Merino/Lycra blend also feels great next to the skin.

This high performance fabric is created using a unique double jersey construction. Performance Plated Merino garments feature an outer layer of Nylon, an inner layer of 100% New Zealand Merino wool and a concentration of integrated Spandex to provide compression. The combination of Merino’s natural ability to provide next to skin comfort and the synthetic fabric’s muscle compression technology, provide a performance advantage for competitive athletes.

The water resistant nylon DuoTech fabric is perfectly suited to a performance garment. Duo-Tech has a waterproof rating of 5000mm, meaning it can withstand 5000mm of moisture over a 24 hour period. It also has a moisture vapour transmission rate of 5000g/m²/day, meaning it has excellent breathability. So Duo-Tech will keep you dry, whilst allowing your skin to breathe.
