FAQs
What does FINA approved mean?
FINA (Fédération Internationale de Natation) approval means the suit meets the strict regulations set by the international governing body for aquatic sports, making it legal for use in official competitions.
How does the 20% lighter fabric improve performance?
The lighter fabric absorbs less water, reducing the overall weight of the suit and minimizing drag. This allows for a more streamlined profile in the water, potentially leading to faster swimming times.
Are recycled materials as durable as virgin materials?
Yes, modern manufacturing processes allow recycled materials to meet or exceed the performance and durability standards of virgin materials, especially in high-performance activewear like this racing jammer.
How often should I rinse my racing jammer?
It is highly recommended to rinse your racing jammer immediately with cold, non-chlorinated water after every single use to preserve the fabric's integrity and performance properties.
Can I use this jammer for general training?
While the Powerskin ST NEXT Jammer can be used for advanced training, its design is optimized for racing. For everyday training, a more durable training suit might be preferred to extend the life of this specialized racing suit.
What is the 'mild compression' mentioned?
Mild compression refers to a gentle, supportive pressure applied by the fabric to the muscles. It helps to streamline the body and can offer slight support without being overly restrictive, aiding in hydrodynamics.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Arena sizing guide provided with the product or on their official website. Racing suits are meant to fit very snugly; ensure your measurements align with the specific size chart for this model.
Troubleshooting
Jammer feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have ordered the correct size according to the Arena sizing chart. For this specific model, consider that racing suits are designed for a snug, compressive fit. If it's uncomfortable, it might be a size issue or personal preference for less compression.
Fabric feels rough or loses elasticity quickly
This can result from improper care. Ensure you are rinsing immediately after use and avoiding harsh detergents, chlorine, and machine drying. Store flat and away from direct sunlight.
Seams are causing irritation
The flatlock seams are designed for minimal bulk. Ensure the jammer is positioned correctly on the body. If irritation persists, this particular fit or seam construction may not be suitable for your individual comfort needs.
