ARENA POWERSKIN CARBON PRO Mark 2

Arena Powerskin Carbon Pro Mark 2 Kneeskin

Performance swimwear for competitive swimmers.  This professional women's powerskin knee suit is FINA approved for competition use.  Arena have created a powerful kneeskin swimsuit that uses a mix of carbon fibre and high-stretch elastomer yarns to provide optimum strength and mobility for the swimmer. This particular model is fucshia and features an open back design.

Competition swimsuits have traditionally compromised between compression (to achieve optimum muscle power) and optimum fit and comfort (for freedom of movement). A tight-fitting garment provides greater muscle compression but loses freedom of movement, with the converse being true for a loose-fitting garment. Now, with the Arena Carbon-Pro Mark 2, this kind of compromise is a thing of the past. The Carbon-Pro mark 2 offers both maximum muscle compression AND total freedom of movement, thanks to the unique properties of its carbon-based fabric. Not only that, the benefits kick in from the moment you pull on the suit, and last until you touch the wall at the end of your race.

Intelligent Compression: Stiff, strong carbon fibres combined with high-stretch elastomer yarns in a woven construction create a ‘lock-out’ effect. These fibres lock down when a critical stretch level is reached, much like a car’s seat belt is locked when the vehicle experiences a high impact. With a swimsuit, the lock down of the carbon fibres maximizes compression on over-extended zones, increasing support and control where it’s needed and when it’s needed. At the same time, the stretch fabric remains comfortable without compromising the swimmer’s mobility.
