Primo Le Sl Ob women's racing suit, navy-rose

W Powerskin Primo Open back, open-back women's competition swimsuit
 
Primo is the world's first tenso-elastic competition swimsuit. Primo combines effective compression and particularly good elasticity in a new way. The suit supports the muscles and gives plenty of room for movement. The versatile new suit is suitable for all swimming disciplines and races.
 
The suit is the result of several years of development and research by Arena, carried out in close collaboration with top swimmers. The suit is unlike any previous competition suit, as it is a completely new technology based on textile innovation. The word Primo means first in Italian.
 
The suit's new Hyperforce™ fabric is tenso-elastic (tension + elasticity); the fabric is firm but flexible. Primo combines the highest compression, durability and a completely new kind of stretch throughout. The suit feels comfortable to wear and does not restrict movement.
 
The Hyperforce™ fabric has a flow-directing surface that reduces water resistance and improves glide. The fabric is made of naturally water-repellent TPU fiber, which contributes to improved hydrodynamics. The material allows the suit to be recycled at the end of its useful life.
 
The front of the suit features the X-tape structure found on Arena's Carbon Glide suit inside the suit. The X-shaped tapes support and stabilize the core and connect the upper body to the hips. The tapes help to detect if the body is twisting too far during the stroke and return you to an economical, streamlined swimming position.
 
The back of the suit has supportive taping over the buttocks and thighs inside the suit. The taping lifts the hips and legs, making it easier to straighten the leg and maintain the correct swimming position when tired. The lift of the taping can be noticed especially during turns and dolphin kicks.
 
The flexible suit is easy to put on, which speeds up your race day routine significantly. The Primo can be put on in five minutes, compared to 30-45 minutes for a traditional competition swimsuit. Still, choose the same size as your previous Arena competition swimsuit or follow the size chart. The speed of putting on the suit does not indicate the size. The flexible Primo is comfortable to wear and still provides the highest class compression.
 
For the first time, Arena's competition swimsuit is available in two different lengths, depending on the length of the upper body. The longer length is available in sizes 30–34. The fabric added to the straps also increases comfort. The silicone band at the leg opening keeps the leg in place.
