Powerskin Carbon Air2 Womens Openback
Arena Powerskin Carbon Air2 Women's Openback Racing Suit | Black/Gold
The Arena Powerskin Carbon Air2 is the lightest suit in Arena's elite Carbon series — engineered for female competitive swimmers who demand hydrodynamic performance, second-skin comfort, and World Aquatics (FINA) approval on race day. If you're stepping onto the blocks, this is the suit built to get you to the wall faster.
Carbon Air2 Technology
Constructed from a single piece of fabric, the Carbon Air2 eliminates the pressure points and bulk of multi-seam construction. The result is a suit that's easier to put on and take off pre- and post-race, while delivering a seamless, second-skin feel in the water.
- Single-piece fabric construction — no multiple seams, reduced pressure on the hip area
- Carbon Band technology — durable, lightweight compression that stabilises and activates key muscles without sacrificing flexibility
- Internal chest lining — reduces pressure in the chest area for a wider range of motion
- Open-back design — maximises shoulder mobility and stroke efficiency
- Hydrodynamic profile — engineered to reduce drag and improve body position
- World Aquatics (FINA) approved — competition legal for sanctioned events
- Lightest suit in the Carbon series — minimal weight, maximum performance
Sizing
Available in sizes 28–36 (Black/Gold). Arena technical racing suits are designed for a very tight, compressive fit — significantly tighter than training swimwear. Refer to the Arena size guide and allow 20–30 minutes to put on for the first time. If between sizes, size up.
Care Instructions
To preserve performance and extend the life of your Carbon Air2, follow these guidelines carefully:
- Rinse immediately after use in non-chlorinated water
- Do not leave wet in a bag or container for extended periods
- Do not expose to direct sunlight when wet
- Hand wash only with detergent suitable for delicate fabrics
- Air dry away from heat sources
- Do not machine dry, dry clean, bleach, or iron
- If possible, rinse between races to minimise chlorine contact time
