FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Hydroglide Fabric?

Hydroglide Fabric is an ultralight, smooth material designed to minimize drag and turbulence, allowing for a smoother and faster underwater glide.

How does the Internal Taping Structure work?

The carbon-infused woven lining is strategically placed to activate major muscle groups, providing a feeling of support, body hold, and contributing to a streamlined, faster swim.

Is this suit suitable for all competitive swimmers?

Yes, it is Fina Approved and designed for competitive male swimmers looking to optimize their speed and reduce drag. However, due to its ultralight nature, careful handling is required.

How should I clean my Carbon Glide Jammer?

Rinse immediately in non-chlorinated water after use. If necessary, hand wash gently with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and wringing. Dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight.

Can I use fingernails to put on the suit?

No, it is strongly advised not to use fingernails. The ultralight fabric is delicate and can be easily snagged or torn. Always pull the suit up by the seams.

What does 'Fina Approved' mean?

Fina Approved indicates that the swimsuit meets the regulations set by the Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) for use in official international swimming competitions.

Is this suit good for training as well as racing?

While optimized for racing performance, it can be used for high-intensity training sessions to simulate race conditions and get accustomed to the feel of a technical suit.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels difficult to put on.

This is expected due to the tight, performance fit and ultralight fabric. Ensure you are pulling the suit up by the seams from the leg openings. Avoid using fingernails, which can snag the fabric.

Reduced performance or buoyancy.

Ensure the suit is clean and rinsed properly after each use. Check that the size is correct; a suit that is too loose will not provide the intended streamlining benefits.

Fabric snag or tear.

Handle the suit with extreme care, especially around fingernails and rough surfaces. Small snags may not significantly impact performance, but tears should be assessed; significant damage may render the suit unusable for competition.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces drag and turbulence.
  • Provides a feeling of enhanced muscle support and engagement.
  • Ultralight and smooth fabric for a superior glide sensation.
  • Fina Approved for official competitions.
  • Designed for optimal speed and efficiency in the water.

Cons

  • Ultralight fabric requires careful handling to avoid tears.
  • May feel less durable compared to heavier racing suits.
  • Requires proper technique to put on without damaging the material.
  • Focuses on glide, which might be a different sensation than suits offering maximum compression.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This is a racing jammer designed for direct wear during swimming. There is no setup required beyond ensuring you have the correct size for a snug, performance fit.

Compatibility:

  • Competition: Fina Approved, making it suitable for official swimming competitions worldwide.
  • Training: Can be used for high-intensity training sessions where race-day simulation is desired.

Care Instructions:

To ensure the long life and optimum performance of your Arena swimsuit, please follow these guidelines:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the jammer thoroughly in cool, non-chlorinated water.
  2. Hand Wash (if necessary): If a more thorough clean is needed, hand wash gently with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
  3. Do Not Wring or Twist: Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can damage the fibers and taped structures.
  4. Dry Flat: Lay the jammer flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
  5. Handle with Care: Due to the ultralight fabric, be extremely careful when putting on and taking off the suit. Avoid contact with sharp objects, including fingernails. Always pull the suit up by the seams, not directly on the fabric.
