Features and Description

Race with freedom, support, and streamlined confidence in the Arena Women’s Powerskin Carbon-AIR² Open Back Kneeskin. Designed for competitive swimmers, this lightweight women’s tech suit combines flexible movement with race-focused compression, making it ideal for swimmers who want a fast feel without unnecessary restriction.

The outer shell is made from a single piece of fabric, helping to reduce stitching and create a smooth, drag-resistant surface through the water. Inside, the 3-piece lining design allows the body to stretch more naturally, giving swimmers a greater range of motion during starts, turns, and every stroke cycle.

Integrated horizontal carbon fibre bands help lock down on the muscles for enhanced support and control, so swimmers can feel stable, powerful and connected in the water. The open-back design adds freedom through the shoulders and back, while the lightweight construction supports long-lasting comfort during race-day wear.

Fully World Aquatics approved, the Powerskin Carbon-AIR² is built for swimmers competing in galas, club meets and championship events who want a technical kneeskin from one of swimming’s most trusted performance brands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Arena Powerskin Carbon-AIR² Open Back Kneeskin World Aquatics approved? −

Yes, this Arena kneeskin is World Aquatics approved. That makes it suitable for competitive swimming events where approved racewear is required.

Who is this tech suit best suited to? +

This suit is best suited to competitive female swimmers who want a lightweight race suit with flexibility and muscle support. The open-back design helps support freedom of movement, while the carbon fibre bands provide added control during racing.

What makes the Carbon-AIR² different from a standard swimsuit? +

The Carbon-AIR² is a technical racing suit, not a standard training swimsuit. It uses a single-piece outer shell, a 3-piece lining and carbon fibre bands to support hydrodynamics, stretch, comfort and compression during competition.

Does the open-back design help with movement? +

Yes, the open-back design is intended to give swimmers greater freedom through the back and shoulders. This can be useful for swimmers who prefer a less restrictive feel when racing.

Should this suit be used for training or racing? +

This suit is best kept for racing and key competition sessions. As a World Aquatics-approved tech suit with carbon fibre support and hydrodynamic construction, it is designed for performance on race day rather than everyday training.

Is this suit a good fit for my body shape? +

Arean suits are good for a relatively straight body shape.

How do I care for my tech suit? +

Chlorine is the enemy. Flushing out the chlorine as soon as possible after you race by lightly squeezing under cold water for around 60 seconds. Dry laying flat without heat from radiators or hair dryers. Do not use detergent or put in the washing machine - a droplet or 2 of liquid soap every once in a while with you cold water rinse is enough.

What size do I need? +

Sizing is extremely difficult. It is no good investing in an expensive tech suit that does not fit you properly! The size guides are the best resource here. If you are between sizes go by the Hip measurement. Talk to friends or talk to us for advice.
