Powerskin Carbon-AIR² is our brand new racing design. We tweaked the construction of this women’s open-back tech suit for ultimate flexibility and unified hydrodynamics. The exterior shell is made with a single piece of fabric for zero stitching, 100% comfort and drag-free speed. Inside the new 3-piece lining design lets your body stretch even further for total range of motion. This lightweight kneeskin is integrated with horizontal bands of carbon fiber that lock down on muscles for enhanced support and control. Engineered for powerful performance and long-lasting comfort while competing, Carbon-AIR² takes racing to the next level.

OUR POWERSKIN CARBON AIR² 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 LIGHTNESS

Carbon Band compression technology is integrated into one piece of fabric for an unparalleled second-skin sensation.

COMFORTABLE COMPRESSION

Horizontal Carbon Bands lock down at a critical stretch point to provide light compression, core stability and power when and where it’s needed.

SECOND SKIN EFFECT

Thanks to the absence of multiple seams, the Carbon Air² offers exceptional comfort and flexibility, and is easier to put on than traditional racing suit designs.

RE-DESIGNED FOR GREATER FREEDOM

The internal lining consists of three separate panels to provide greater range of motion. This results in less compression across the chest for women’s suits, and a reduced pressure on the hips for ample flexibility.
