Women's Powerskin Primo Open Back
THE FIRST RACE SUIT WITH HYPERFORCE™ FABRIC
...
Arena’s Hyperforce™ fabric delivers the highest overall compression ever combined with ultimate comfort and improved hydrodynamics.
Thanks to the revolutionary tensoelastic properties of arena’s Hyperforce™ fabric, Powerskin Primo redefines compression by maximizing it with just minimal stretching.
Powerskin Primo is not just a compression suit, it’s something more: the first of its kind.
The fabric’s extraordinary elasticity allows for 50% more stretch than standard fabrics, enabling a range of motion never experienced before, while maintaining powerful compression.
In addition, the flow channeling texture on key surfaces makes it extremely hydrodynamic.
COMPRESSION AND FLEXIBILITY
No more compromise. Our most powerful compression combined with extraordinary elasticity thanks to Hyperforce™ – the first ever Tensoelastic fabric.
SUPERIOR WATER FLOW
Hyperforce™’s unique flow-channeling fabric surface improves hydrodynamics and lowers surface drag for maximum speed and streamline performance on and under water.
PERMANENT WATER RESISTANCE
Permanently hydrophobic TPU fiber provides for maximum water repellency over the life of the suit.
FINA / WORLD AQUATICS APPROVED
WORLD AQUATICS (formerly known as FINA) is the world governing body for aquatic sports. WORLD AQUATICS approved swimwear must be used at WORLD AQUATICS events.
QUICKER RACE-DAY ROUTINE
Fast in AND out of the water. Finally a high-compression suit that goes on in under 5 minutes to streamline your race-day routine.
FLOATING LEGS
A completely new internal taping construction provides powerful support that lifts the legs and hips for optimal body positioning.
EXPANDED SIZE RANGE
Available in Long Torso sizes for a near-custom fit and supreme comfort without sacrificing compression.
CUSTOM WAIST HEIGHT
The Hyperforce™ fabric’s extraordinary elasticity allows for custom waist height adjustment from low to high.
CORE SUPPORT
Internal X-Tape construction provides excellent core stability and connects the hips to the upper body to limit excessive torso rotation.
ENHANCED COVERAGE
Longer cut from waist to knee provides greater suit coverage for maximum compression where you need it most.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
POWERSKIN PRIMO IS DESIGNED TO BE EASY TO GET ON.
Engineered with HYPERFORCE™, the world’s first tensoelastic fabric, POWERSKIN Primo is both our most compressive and most flexible suit.
Unlike traditional high-compression race suits, the time it takes to get into POWERSKIN Primo is not an indicator of sizing accuracy: its unique HYPERFORCE™ Fabric is highly elastic – allowing to be ready to race in as little as 5 minutes. Once on the body, the power of the HYPERFORCE™ fabric engages – delivering maximum compression while retaining an unprecedented level of flexibility and range of motion.
NOTE: To ensure you’re getting the most out of your POWERSKIN Primo when trying on the suit for the first time, please watch our tutorial video.
HOW DO I KNOW I’M IN THE RIGHT SIZE?
Consult the size chart and ensure that your measurements align with the recommended size.
Once on the body, POWERSKIN Primo will deliver our most powerful compression along with a new level of comfort and freedom of movement.
CAN I SIZE DOWN FOR MORE COMPRESSION?
The POWERSKIN Primo is a first-of-its-kind and will likely feel very different from any suit you’ve tried before. Confirm that your measurements align with the recommended size on the size chart. Due to the exceptional power of the HYPERFORCE™ fabric, sizing down is not recommended as the extreme levels of compression may restrict freedom of movement and decrease the overall performance of the suit.
Please note that individual experiences may vary.
