FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Powerskin Impulso Jammer?

The primary benefit is its ability to reduce drag and improve hydrodynamic performance through its hydrophobic treatment and fabric design, helping swimmers achieve faster times.

Is this suit suitable for all swimming strokes?

Yes, the design with ergonomic seams and moderate compression is intended to support all swimming strokes effectively for competitive swimmers.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The suit should fit snugly like a second skin without causing significant discomfort or restricting breathing. Consult the Arena sizing chart and consider your previous racing suit fits.

Can I use this suit for training?

While designed for competition, it can be used for key training sessions. However, frequent training use may accelerate wear compared to competition-only use.

What does 'World Aquatics Approved' mean?

It means the suit meets the strict regulations and technical requirements set by World Aquatics (formerly FINA) for use in official international and national swimming competitions.

How does the hydrophobic treatment work?

The treatment applied to the fabric repels water molecules, causing water to bead up and roll off. This minimizes water absorption, keeping the suit lighter and reducing drag.

Will the compression reduce over time?

Like all performance swimwear, some compression may naturally decrease with extensive use and proper care. However, the durable woven fabric is designed to maintain its supportive properties for a significant period.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Arena sizing chart. The suit is designed for a snug, compressive fit; however, extreme discomfort may indicate an incorrect size. Re-measure and compare with the chart.

Water absorption seems higher than expected

The hydrophobic treatment may be less effective over time with extensive use and improper care. Ensure the suit is rinsed thoroughly after every use and avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat during drying.

Seams feel uncomfortable or cause chafing

Verify that the suit is being worn correctly and that the seams are lying flat against the skin. If the issue persists, it may be a matter of personal fit preference, as seam placement is standardized for performance.
