FAQs
Is this jammer suitable for training or just racing?
While World Aquatics/FINA approved for racing, the Powerskin ST NEXT Jammer's supportive fit and durable construction also make it an excellent choice for advanced training sessions.
How does the '20% lighter' feature benefit me?
The lighter fabric absorbs less water, which reduces drag and keeps the jammer feeling less heavy, allowing for better speed and reduced fatigue during your swim.
What does 'mild compression' mean for a swimmer?
Mild compression offers gentle support to your core and leg muscles, which can help improve body position in the water and potentially reduce muscle fatigue during intense swimming.
How do I care for the recycled fabric?
The care instructions are the same as for standard performance swimwear. Rinse thoroughly after each use in cold water and dry flat away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Will the limited edition print fade?
Like most performance swimwear, excessive exposure to chlorine and direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Proper care, including immediate rinsing and drying away from light, will help preserve the print's vibrancy.
Can I wear this jammer in a non-approved competition?
Yes, the World Aquatics/FINA approval simply means it meets standards for official FINA events. You can wear it in any training or non-sanctioned swim events.
What is the main advantage of flatlock seams?
Flatlock seams are designed to lie flat against the skin, reducing bulk and eliminating potential friction points that can cause chafing during long or intense swimming sessions.
Troubleshooting
Jammer feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide and consider that racing suits are designed for a snug, compressive fit. If it feels excessively uncomfortable, it may be too small.
Fabric feels heavy or waterlogged.
This can sometimes occur if the suit is not rinsed properly after use. Always rinse thoroughly with cold water. Ensure the suit is dried flat and completely between uses.
Seams are causing irritation.
Ensure the flatlock seams are positioned correctly against the skin. If irritation persists, the suit might be an incorrect size or fit for your body shape.
Reduced elasticity or performance over time.
Follow the care instructions meticulously. Exposure to chlorine, heat, and improper drying can degrade the fabric's performance. Rinse immediately and dry flat.
