FAQs

Who is this jammer designed for?

This jammer is specifically designed for adult male competitive swimmers who need advanced muscle support and a hydrodynamic advantage.

What is the main benefit of the Carbon Cage fabric?

The Carbon Cage fabric provides targeted compression to key muscle groups, enhancing oxygenation and providing a locked-in feel for improved performance.

How do the bands on the back of the legs help?

These parallel double-banded lines are engineered to help maintain a horizontal and upright body position in the water, reducing drag and improving efficiency, especially when fatigue sets in.

What is the 'inner band system'?

The inner band system refers to the internal construction that provides powerful support and stability to the abdominal area, contributing to a stronger core during swimming.

How should I care for my Powerskin Carbon Core FX Jammer?

Always rinse immediately in non-chlorinated water after use. Do not store wet swimwear in bags or closed containers for too long, and avoid exposing wet swimwear to sunlight.

Can this jammer be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the technical fabric and compression properties. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then rinse thoroughly.

What is the advantage of a striped pattern?

The striped pattern is primarily an aesthetic design element. The functional benefit comes from the Carbon Cage fabric itself, which is integrated into the striped design.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Arena sizing chart. If correctly sized, it is designed for significant compression; allow time to adapt during training sessions.

Fabric feels less compressive over time

This may indicate improper care. Ensure the suit is always rinsed immediately after use in fresh water and never stored wet. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing/drying.

Leg bands are uncomfortable

The bands are designed for support. Ensure the suit is pulled on correctly and positioned properly on the legs. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate the sizing.

Seams are causing irritation

Ensure the suit is fully pulled up and that there are no wrinkles or bunching. The fit should be snug and smooth against the skin.
