Arena 2010 Racing Swimwear Range

Powerskin® ST is a highly performing racing swimsuit made of X-FLAT, a very light knitted fabric (142 gr/m²), specially

treated to obtain an extra smooth outer surface.

Thanks to the thinness and higher content of Lycra ® (29%), of its X-FLAT fabric, Powerskin® ST ensures outstanding

comfort and dries very quickly.

X-FLAT fabric also guarantees excellent durability in chlorinated water and protection against ultra violet rays

(50+ UPF).

Powerskin® XP delivers higher speed in swimming, thanks to its revolutionary Z-

Raptor+ high-tech and ultra-light fabric (120 gr/m²), which makes the suit smoother and

more hydro-dynamic than any comparable suit from competition.

Thanks to Z-Raptor+ fabric features (35% of Lycra®, with 100% horizontal / vertical

elasticity), Powerskin® XP delivers superior compression on the swimmer’s body, still guaranteeing maximum freedom

of movement.

Powerskin® XP also significantly reduces surface drag thanks to its pattern,

optimized stitching and superior Teflon coating.

Powerskin® R-EVO is a technological jewel, which has proven to be the fastest and the lightest racing swimsuit ever

made with a 100% textile material. Thanks to the high-tech, ultra-light Arena Stealth fabric (99 gr/m²) all Powerskin® R-EVO

suits weight less than 100g, guaranteeing optimal compression combined with

unmatchable comfort.

Powerskin® R-EVO is the one and only racing suit featuring the patented Arena one-piece design which, in combination

with an advanced thermo-bonding system, allows a 100% stitch-less construction, with

zero seams on the front.

Powerskin® R-EVO also allows the swimmer to keep superb stability and

body alignment during the stroke, reducing surface and form drag.
