W Powerskin Primo Closed back, closed back women's competition swimsuit
Primo is the world's first tenso-elastic competition swimsuit. The suit is the result of Arena's several years of development and research, which was carried out in close cooperation with top swimmers. Primo combines effective compression and particularly good flexibility in a new way. The suit supports the muscles and gives plenty of room for movement. The versatile novelty suit is suitable for all swimming sports and trips.
The suit's new Hyperforce fabric is tensoelastic (tension + elasticity); the fabric is sturdy, but flexible. Primo combines the highest compression, durability and a completely new kind of flexibility throughout. Primo feels comfortable to wear and does not restrict movement. A flexible suit is easy to put on and it may even seem fair at first. Still follow the size chart, because you only feel the compression in the water.
The Hyperforce fabric has a flow-directing surface that reduces water resistance and improves gliding. The fabric is a water-repellent TPU fiber, which contributes to improving hydrodynamics. Thanks to the material, the suit can be recycled at the end of its useful life.
The front part of the suit has the familiar X-tape structure inside the suit from Arena's Carbon Glide suit. The X-shaped taping supports and stabilizes the middle body and connects the upper body to the pelvis. The tapes help to notice if the body twists too far during the stroke and return it to an economical, streamlined swimming position.
In the back of the suit, there is the familiar double taping on the back and back thighs from Arena's Core FX suit. The double tapes raise the hips in the water and make it easier to maintain the correct swimming position when tired. The lift of the double taping can be noticed especially in the turn and the dolphin kick.
For the first time, two different lengths can be chosen from Arena's competition swimsuit, depending on the length of the upper body. A longer measurement is available in sizes 30–34. The fabric added to the straps also increases comfort. A silicone band in the leg mouth keeps the leg in place.
