NWT - ARENA CARBON FLEX JAMMER – Dark Grey/ Red/ Black | SIZE: 28

Description

Powerskin Carbon-Flex
Conceived as the ideal companion to the existing Carbon-Pro range, the Powerskin Carbon-Flex emerged from a process that assimilates data and feedback from several sources, including individual Elite Team athlete preferences, further research and experimentation, and the exploration of alternative features to match varying swimmer needs. The carbon cage and its partners, Intelligent Compression and the Power Return System, remain core components of the Carbon-Flex. The difference is in the V-Flex System, a unique, innovative and patented construction developed by arena’s scientific network.
In the V-Flex system, seams have been moved from the side of both men’s and women’s suits – on women’s suits, the front seam runs from the crotch to under the arm, and the rear seam runs from the centre of the hamstring to under the arm; for men’s jammers, the seams align with the quadriceps and the hamstrings. Men’s jammers also have added length in the leg and a slight increase in rise.
The V-Flex System supports swimmers with three specific benefits:
Hip flexion and freedom of movement:
Seam placement creates a “flexline” across the hip flexors, offering less resistance during hip flexion on starts, turns, and breaststroke kicks. The system delivers complete freedom of movement around the hips, glutes, and shoulders, along with perfect fit and comfort.
Lifting effect:
The rear seam creates a “tension line” between the two anchor points, limiting stretch on this line and having a lifting effect on the back of the legs. This helps to keep the legs high in the water during freestyle, and to keep the knees from dropping during breaststroke and butterfly.
Push off the wall:
During the tumble turn, the tension line also helps with pushing off the wall. In addition, the lengthening of the suit also provides greater body coverage, reinforcing the effects of Intelligent Compression.
Not surprisingly, following the popularity of the innovative Carbon-Pro designs, the Carbon Flex has its own distinctive flair. By placing the bonded seams on the outside, the suit has a two-colour design, making it stand out from the crowd. The initial launch will feature blue-and-grey and red-and-grey versions. Developed with the champions for the champions The Carbon-Pro and Carbon Flex are both the result of an extensive R&D process, which includes an intensive testing and feedback phase with dozens of swimmers in the arena stable of athletes. This is an integral part of the Arena swimsuit development process, and has been characteristic of the company’s modus operandi since its inception.
