Its key benefit is enhanced speed and durability through a lighter, compressive fit made from recycled fabrics, reducing water absorption and drag.

FAQs
What does FINA-approved mean?
FINA (now World Aquatics) approval signifies that the swimwear meets the strict regulations set by the international governing body for aquatic sports, making it legal for use in official competitions.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Arena sizing guide for the Powerskin ST NEXT line. Measure your waist and compare it to the provided chart. Remember, these jammers are meant to fit snugly.
Can this jammer be used for training?
While designed for racing, the durable and compressive nature of the fabric makes it suitable for key training sets. However, for everyday training, a less compressive suit might offer greater comfort and longevity.
What is the main advantage of the recycled fabric?
The primary advantage is sustainability. Additionally, the specific recycled yarns used are engineered to be lighter and more durable, contributing to reduced drag and longer-lasting compression.
How often should I rinse the jammer?
It is crucial to rinse the jammer immediately after every use in non-chlorinated water to preserve the fabric's integrity and compression.
Will this jammer help me swim faster?
Yes, the jammer is designed to enhance performance by reducing water absorption and drag, and by providing muscle compression for support, all of which contribute to increased speed.
Is this suit suitable for women?
No, this particular model is designed as a men's racing jammer. Arena offers different swimwear options for women.
Troubleshooting
Jammer feels too tight or restrictive
Racing jammers are designed for a very snug, compressive fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's sizing chart. If the fit is excessively uncomfortable or restricts breathing, it may be the wrong size or not the preferred style for your needs.
Material feels stiff or loses elasticity quickly
This can occur if the jammer is not rinsed properly after use. Always rinse immediately in non-chlorinated water. Avoid exposing the suit to prolonged heat or harsh chemicals, and follow washing instructions carefully.
Seams are causing irritation
The jammer features low-profile seams for comfort. Ensure the jammer is positioned correctly on the body. If irritation persists, double-check the sizing; a suit that is too small can exacerbate seam discomfort.
