Orca Women's Killa Kompression Long Sleeve Tee (KK-W5585)

Orca® brings it's established performance pedigree to the Sports Compression Base Layer Market

Scott Unsworth, a former New Zealand age group triathlon champion, had to stop competing due to a chronic back injury. Whilst working as a swim coach, and from his first hand experience in competing in triathlon, Scott realised that the wetsuits used at the time were completely inadequate for swimming.

In 1992 Scott started up a company called Performance Speedsuits Ltd, based out of his parent's house in Auckland, New Zealand. He began to develop his "Speedsuits", which featured greater flexibility and buoyancy than other existing wetsuits. The business started with Scott selling his Speedsuits from the back of his car at swim meets and triathlon events.

The Speedsuits quickly gained a following amongst athletes and the business started to grow. Scott was taking his first steps towards introducing what would become Orca®, to the world.

Now the New Zealand-based Triathlon sportswear specialist Orca®, best known for it's foundation range of Triathlon Wet Suits and apparel, has more recently branched out into the closely associated field of Technical Sports Compression and Base Layers.

SeaMerino Fibres

The Orca® range covers the elite athlete/performance sector with the high intensity Killa Kompression™ range of active, graduated compression garments. This is supported with the all new Merino Wool Base Layer range which includes the unique world-first use of Merino Wool and Seaweed in a fibre blend called SeaMerino™. SeaMerino™ uses the naturally occuring active nutrients found in seaweed, to increase blood circulation and skin cell regeneration during and after your workout.
