The Hydroglide Fabric is ultralight and smooth, designed to reduce drag and turbulence for improved underwater glide and speed.
The carbon-infused internal taping is strategically placed to activate major muscle groups, providing a feeling of support, body hold, and aiding in maintaining a streamlined, fast position in the water.
The Powerskin Carbon Glide Jammer is specifically designed for competitive racing due to its advanced materials and features aimed at maximizing performance. For general training, a more durable and less specialized suit is often recommended.
The outer shell is primarily composed of Polyamide and Elastane, with some variants including Carbon Fibre. The inside lining also contains Polyamide, Elastane, and Carbon Fibre.

Yes, as the jammer is Fina Approved, it meets international competition standards and can be used in any sanctioned or unsanctioned event where jammers are permitted.
The Carbon Glide features specific advancements in fabric (Hydroglide) and internal structure (Carbon Light Cage) focused on reducing drag and enhancing glide compared to other Powerskin lines that might focus more on compression or buoyancy.
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Arena sizing chart. A racing jammer should be snug, but it should not impede breathing or circulation. Consider trying a size up if discomfort persists.
This can be due to improper rinsing or washing. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after use and hand wash with mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, heat, and prolonged direct sunlight during drying.
The internal taping is designed to provide specific muscle activation. It may take a few uses to get accustomed to the sensation. Ensure the jammer is positioned correctly on the body. If discomfort is severe, the fit might not be ideal.
Verify that the jammer is the correct size and fitted smoothly against the skin. Any wrinkles or looseness can increase drag. Ensure all seams lie flat and the fabric is taut.
