FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Powerskin Impulso Jammer?

The main benefit is its advanced hydrodynamic performance, achieved through water-repellent fabric and a design that minimizes drag, helping swimmers glide more efficiently through the water.

Is this suit suitable for training or just racing?

While designed with racing performance in mind and approved for competition, the balanced compression and durable fabric also make it suitable for intense training sessions where minimizing drag and muscle support are beneficial.

What material is the jammer made from?

The jammer is primarily made from a blend of 76% Polyamide and 24% Elastane, providing a balance of strength, flexibility, and water-repellency.

How should I care for my Powerskin Impulso Jammer?

Rinse immediately with cold, fresh water after each use. Hand wash gently if needed, do not wring, and air dry flat away from direct sunlight. Avoid tumble dryers and harsh chemicals.

What does 'World Aquatics approved' mean?

It means the suit meets the regulations set by World Aquatics (formerly FINA) for competitive swimwear, allowing it to be worn in official, sanctioned swimming events.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the Arena sizing chart for men's jammers. Racing suits should fit very snugly to provide compression and reduce drag. It's recommended to try them on if possible or carefully measure waist size according to the guide.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart and consider that racing suits are designed for a snug, compressive fit. If the size is correct, the initial tightness may lessen slightly after a few uses as the fabric adapts.

Fabric feels less water-repellent over time

Ensure the suit is rinsed thoroughly with fresh water after every use to remove pool chemicals and body oils. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, which can impede the water-repellent treatment.

Seams feel uncomfortable

The flatlock seams are designed for minimal irritation. Ensure the suit is oriented correctly and the seams are lying flat against the skin. If discomfort persists, check sizing and ensure there are no folds in the fabric.
