FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Carbon Glide Jammer?

The primary benefit is its ability to significantly reduce drag and enhance speed through specialized lightweight fabrics and internal compression technology.

How should I put on the Carbon Glide Jammer?

Due to its lightweight and delicate fabric, put it on carefully by avoiding fingernails touching the material. Gently pull the jammer up by the seams, not the fabric itself, ensuring an even distribution.

Is this suit suitable for training?

While designed for racing, it can be used for specific high-intensity training sessions to simulate race conditions. However, frequent training use might accelerate wear compared to occasional race use.

What does FINA Approved mean?

FINA (Fédération Internationale de Natation) is the international governing body for swimming. FINA Approved means the suit meets the regulations for competitive swimming events sanctioned by FINA.

How do I clean my jammer after a swim?

Rinse it immediately in cold, non-chlorinated water after every use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed, and dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight.

What materials are used in the Carbon Glide Jammer?

The jammer is constructed with Hydroglide fabric (Polyamide/Elastane) and features Carbon infused woven lining and Carbo Light Cage Fabric, incorporating Polyamide, Elastane, and Carbon Fibre.

Can I machine wash or dry my jammer?

No, machine washing, drying, or wringing can damage the delicate fabric and its performance features. Always follow the hand-wash and flat-dry instructions.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The jammer is designed for a compressive fit; if it feels excessively tight or uncomfortable, it may be too small. Check the sizing guide carefully.

Suit seems to be losing compression

This can happen with prolonged use or improper care. Ensure you are rinsing immediately after every swim and avoiding harsh detergents. Store it flat and dry away from heat.

Snags or tears in the fabric

Handle the suit with extreme care, especially when putting it on or taking it off. Avoid contact with fingernails and pull the suit up by the seams. Be mindful of sharp objects and abrasive surfaces.

Reduced glide or increased drag

Ensure the suit is clean and free of chlorine or salt residue. Proper rinsing after each use is critical for maintaining the fabric's properties. Check for any damage to the fabric's surface.

Care Instructions:

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Arena swimsuit:
