Arena - Womens - Powerskin Carbon Air2 Open Back Kneeskin - Limited Edition Gator

The most lightweight of the Carbon series, arena's Powerskin Carbon Air2 Gator provides hydrodynamic support to female competitive swimmers. The suit's limited edition print is inspired by nature's most iconic predatory reptile, so that athletes can channel the gator's dominance in the water. Its technical profile is comprised of one single piece of fabric, which works to reduce pressure on the hip area while providing a second-skin feeling of comfort.

The absence of multiple seams means that the suit is easier to put on and take off pre-and-post race compared to other technical suits.

The durable, lightweight Carbon Band technology provides a mild compression that helps to stabilize and activate key muscles, without sacrificing comfort and flexibility. The internal lining reduces pressure in the chest area to allow for a wider range of motion, and an open-back design further increases this efficient mobility.

Features

• The internal lining is designed in 3 separate panels, offering enhanced freedom of movement with less weight.
• The new one-piece construction gives the suit a better fit and feels like a second skin.

The Carbon Air² is made from the same proven woven fabric as the original carbon-air, including horizontal carbon bands, so all the benefits of the fabric are retained: lightness, compression, low drag. Together, all these attributes combine to make the new Carbon Air² lighter, more flexible, and more comfortable.

• Comfortable Compression
  Integrated horizontal carbon bands lockdown at a critical stretch point to provide compression on overextended zones, core stability, and power when and where its needed.
  The result is a lighter form of intelligent compression with the comfort of a second skin.
• One Piece Construction
  The 3 separate panels give greater freedom of movement. In the Carbon Air² kneeskin, this results in less compression across the chest, which liberates breathing and allows the swimmer to move more freely
• Second Skin Lining
  Made from just one piece of fabric, the Carbon Air² has only one bonded seam at the back, which offers supreme comfort and reduces any potential restrictions of movement since there are fewer pressure points on the body. In addition, the absence of multiple seams means that the suit absorbs less water, resulting in less drag and an advanced hydrodynamic effect that helps you glide cleanly through the water.
• FINA Approved for competition use
