How the arena the Powerskin ST reduce drag and water absorption when you swim

The Powerskin ST range of tri-suits comes in a variety of different styles. Today we are going to have a look at the zipper back version there on the full piece suit as well as over there you’ll see a two-piece top and pants style. I find the best way to describe these features and benefits is to break it down into the different stages of the triathlon race. The first thing is the swim. The fabric we are using in these suits is very supportive and compressive and also has hydrophobic properties that means that it sticks to the skin and holds the body’s form which increases drag. So the fabric is form fitting, hydrophobic, helps you glide through the water much quicker. IMPROVED GLIDE IN THE WATER Then at the end of the swim, you come out of the water in the transition zone and you want to make sure that the fabric is dry really quickly because you need to get on the bike. This fabric is as I said hydrophobic; it doesn’t absorb too much water, it is a very quick drying fabric. Once you get on the bike, other features and benefits come into play. The compressive nature of the fabric of course provides the leg muscles with very great support, very important when you’re on the bike especially as you are going through impacts, bumps in the road, which reduces vibration in the muscles and reduces fatigue. In this suit, you will see here, on the bike, it’s very important that we have mesh panels in the back, these help to release heat, keeping the rider cool. At the back, again, we
