ARENA POWERSKIN CARBON PRO TECHNICAL INFORMATION
 

	Intelligent Muscle Compression Intelligent muscle compression is achieved by a protective carbon grid. When the fabric reaches a critical stress level of stretch, the stiff strong carbon fibres combined with high stretch fabric result in a ‘lock-out’ effect. This lock out is regulated and stiffens enhancing compression on a swimmers over extended zones, increasing support and control where a swimmer needs it.
	Power Return Construction New and improved internal taping placed in key areas of the Arena Powerskin Carbon Pro Mark 2 ensures greater power out of dives, faster kick and turn response time and a 'spring back' motion response out of each kick. The special taping also aids in pre-race stretching to assist the wearer through the toughest of final race moments. The power return construction is achieved without compromising on fit giving the swimmer a superior free and easy feeling against the skin.
	Hydro Dynamic The Powerskin Carbon Pro Mark 2 is the fastest swimsuit from Arena yet featuring a water repellent coating and low profile bonded seams that minimise surface drag and provide a superior standard in drag reduction.

	Ultimate Drag Reduction

ARENA POWERSKIN CARBON PRO MARK 2 | A 3 LAYER BENEFIT FOR RACERS

	Prior to Race Mechanical Resistance and Durability The integrated threads of carbon are able to withstand more stretch and handling reducing the chance of tearing when putting on the Arena Carbon Pro Mark 2 swimsuit. Electrostatic Discharge The carbon fibres in the racing swimsuit help neutralise electrostatic discharge on the muscles, reducing drag and creating a better fitting race suit.
	On the Blocks Mechanical Resistance and Durability The Arena Powerskin® Carbon Pro Mark 2 remains comfortable against the skin whilst enduring the stretch of the body on the starting blocks. Intelligent Muscle Compression Intelligent compression maximises compression for superior support and control when on the starting blocks and diving into the water.
	In the Race Intelligent Muscle Compression Intelligent compression maximises compression for superior support and control on over extended zones. Power Return during Kicks and Turns Carefully constructed internal tapes are placed strategically throughout the Carbon Pro Mark 2 racing swimsuit increasing power return during kicks and turns.

SPEED POWERED BY CARBON
