Carbon Glide is a very light suit and this is why so many love it. However this lightness makes it particularly delicate when putting the suit on. Make sure your nails are not touching the fabric. And always pull up the suit from the seems, not from the fabric.

Bold, courageous, defiant and graceful, the black panther is the animal that Simone Manuel tries to personify when she steps up on the blocks to compete. Inspired by the champion, our Signature Panther Closed Back Powerskin Carbon-Glide is embellished with a gold graphic of her totem animal. This FINA-approved tech suit enhances your sense of speed and seamless motion. It is made with ultra-thin Hydroglide that minimizes drag and turbulence. Carbon Light Cage technology surrounds strategic muscles with a compact carbon fibre grid, and unique internal taping activates and interconnects major muscle groups so your body is ready to flow as soon as you hit the water.

OUR POWERSKIN CARBON GLIDE IN A NUTSHELL

THE POWER OF THE CARBON FIBER:
FLEXIBILITY, COMPRESSION AND DURABILITY TOGETHER AT LAST.

Carbon Fiber is the ultimate material for performance and speed in everything from F1 cars to space shuttles.
Following years of extensive research and development, arena has discovered a revolutionary way to integrate flexible strands of this extraordinary material into the fabric of all Carbon Series race suits, delivering unprecedented performance and strength without sacrificing flexibility and range of motion.


flexibility

FLEXIBILITY

The integrated Carbon Fibers work to apply compression before the fabric is fully stretched, giving the suit the additional stretch capacity needed for optimal flexibility and mobility.

compression

COMPRESSION

The combination of high-density woven nylon and infused Carbon Fiber gives all Carbon Series suits advanced structural resistance and power.

durability

DURABILITY

Carbon Series suits offer a much longer lifespan than traditional race suits thanks to Carbon Fiber’s inherent resistance to chlorine.

fina approved

FINA APPROVED

FINA is the world governing body for Aquatic sports. FINA approved swimwear has to be used at FINA events.


FEEL THE GLIDE

Two brand new fabrics combine to deliver an unbelievable feeling of speed in the water.

ZERO-DRAG

Super-light and ultra-low-profile, our exclusive new Hydroglide fabric dramatically reduces surface drag for sensational underwater glide.

TARGETED COMPRESSION

Comprised of the highest content of carbon fiber, the Carbon Glide utilizes a carbon grid that surrounds specific muscle groups for strong, targeted compression and reduced drag.

ULTRA-LIGHT

Featuring a multi-fabric construction that combines both Hydroglide and carbon fiber materials, the Carbon Glide offers the perfect combination of lightness and compression for uncompromising performance and fit.

MUSCLE ACTIVATION

Carbon Fiber infused lining, placed strategically to activate major muscle groups, provides an added feeling of support, body-hold, and streamlined speed.
