How the arena Powerskin R-EVO+ helps you keep superb stability and body alignment during the stroke

If anyone’s been to an elite level open water event, you will see that more than 90% of all the swimmers are wearing these open water suits from arena. The reason for that is basically that these suits provide unparalleled compression and support for open water swimmers during their swim. The suit is constructed using our proven woven Z-Raptor fabric. This fabric is extremely lightweight and at the same time extremely compressive. When wearing a full suit like this of course you want a very lightweight fabric, because you don’t want the suit to be absorbing too much water, which creates drag. So the light weight basically reduces the amount of water that’s in the fabric and reduces the drag for the swimmer. In addition to that, the suit is constructed with bonded seams, one down each side, creating a flat surface on the front, again improving glide and reducing resistance in the water. The binding used to finish off the suit is also a super-stretchy binding, again to reduce the pressure on the swimmer in the shoulder area, which is of course, in a long-distance event, is a problem. These suits are available in a full-length suit or in the pants for the men, as well as open-backed and closed-back for the girls. The compression provided is extremely important for open water swimmers during the long-distance events, when fatigue sets in, that’s when the body starts to tire, of course the legs start to drop, and that’s when the drag really increases. So these compressive suits ar
