FAQs

Is this suit suitable for everyday training?

While durable, the Powerskin Impulso Jammer is primarily designed for competition due to its advanced compression and hydrodynamic features. Frequent use in training may accelerate wear and tear. For regular training, Arena offers other suit lines.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The suit should fit snugly like a second skin, providing moderate compression without restricting breathing or movement. Consult the official Arena sizing chart and measure your waist. It should not be loose anywhere.

What does 'World Aquatics Approved' mean?

It means the suit meets the regulations set by World Aquatics (formerly FINA) for competitive swimwear, ensuring it complies with rules regarding material, design, and coverage for official races.

How long will the hydrophobic treatment last?

The longevity of the hydrophobic treatment depends on usage and care. Proper rinsing and hand washing after each use will help preserve it. Over time and with repeated use, the effect may diminish.

Can I use this suit for open water swimming?

This suit is designed for pool racing. While it offers some hydrodynamic benefits, it is not optimized for the demands of open water swimming, such as temperature regulation or abrasion resistance.

What materials is the suit made from?

The suit is constructed from a high-quality woven fabric, typically a blend of materials like nylon and elastane, engineered for performance, compression, and low water absorption.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the official sizing guide. If between sizes, consider the larger size for a less compressive feel, though this may impact optimal performance. Allow time to adjust to the compression.

Water absorption seems high, increasing drag.

Verify the suit has been properly rinsed after each use and that no residues from chlorine or other pool chemicals remain. Ensure the hydrophobic treatment is intact; significant degradation may indicate the suit has reached the end of its effective lifespan.

Seams feel uncomfortable or chafe.

Confirm the suit is being worn correctly and that seams are lying flat against the skin. Ensure the size is appropriate; an ill-fitting suit can cause seams to rub.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
