FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Powerskin Impulso Jammer?

The main benefit is enhanced speed through superior hydrodynamics, achieved via reduced drag and effective muscle support.

Is this jammer suitable for training?

While designed for racing, its durable construction and muscle support can benefit serious training sessions. However, frequent training use may impact its longevity compared to specialized training suits.

How do I determine my correct size?

Consult the Arena sizing guide, paying close attention to waist measurements. A race jammer should fit snugly without compromising movement.

What is the expected lifespan of this jammer?

The lifespan depends on usage frequency, care, and the intensity of training/racing. With proper care, it is designed to maintain performance for a competitive season.

Can I wear this in non-competition pool settings?

Yes, you can wear it for training or recreational swimming, but it is primarily engineered for competitive performance.

What does 'moderate compression' mean for a swimmer?

Moderate compression provides support to the key swimming muscles in the legs and hips, aiding in maintaining an optimal, streamlined body position and potentially reducing muscle fatigue without being overly restrictive.

How does the hydrophobic treatment work?

The treatment coats the fabric fibers, causing water to bead up and roll off instead of soaking into the material. This reduces the suit's weight in the water and minimizes drag.

Troubleshooting

Jammer feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Arena sizing chart. Try a larger size if the restriction significantly impacts movement.

Fabric seems to absorb water

This is unlikely with a new suit due to the hydrophobic treatment. If an older suit shows increased water absorption, the hydrophobic properties may have diminished over time with extensive use and improper care.

Seams feel uncomfortable

Ensure the jammer is pulled up correctly and lies flat against the skin. The ergonomic placement of seams is designed for comfort, but a slight adjustment may be needed.
