Arena Powerskin Carbon Pro Open Back

The Arena Powerskin Carbon Pro Open Back is Arena's FINA approved racing suit that combines carbon fibers and intelligent compression to help you compete at your best. To deliver a breakthrough solution to the compression challenge, Arena has incorporated carbon fiber into the weave of the POWERSKIN Carbon Pro fabric.

• Open back design.  Short leg.  FINA approved.
• Intelligent muscle compression:
  • This protective grid regulates stretching and stiffens when the fabric reaches a critical stress level.
  • Increases support and control where needed.
• Power return construction:
  • Strategic placement of internal tapes and low profile bonded seams ensure maximum power out of dives and turns.
  • Unprecedented fit and free, easy feeling against the skin.
  • Internal tapes on the legs aid 'spring back' action following each kick and turn.
  • Tapes also assist in stretching prior to your race.
  • Internal tapes placed at key areas provide maximum power out of dives and turns.
• Optimum fit and freedom of movement remain at all times.
• Minimum surface drag.  Ultimate drag reduction.  Water repellent coating.
• Low profile bonded seams.  Mechanical resistance and durability:
• Integrated carbon threads ensure a stronger, more powerful fabric.
  Reduced chance of tear when putting it on.  Carbon fibers help neutralize electrostatic discharge on muscles.
• POWERSKIN Carbon Pro endures stretch while remaining comfortable against the skin.
• Maximum compression for support and control.
• Improved surface integrity:
  • High-performance woven fabric reinforced with carbon fiber delivers the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio for combined speed and power.
  • Preservation of the integrity of the suit's surface in turn maximizes drag reduction and optimizes water repellency.
• Outer shell: 52% Nylon / 47% Elastane / 1% Carbon.  Inner lining: 65% Nylon / 34% Elastane / 1% Carbon.
