Compressive swimwear doesn’t have to feel restrictive or uncomfortable, and nowhere is that clearly than with the Arena Women’s Powerskin Carbon Air2 Fastback Short Leg Open Back one-piece swimsuit. The trick is the intelligent design of the carbon bands that compress in all the right places, keeping fatigue and lactic acid at bay while still allowing you to move freely, supported by an open back that helps you make every stroke count like never before. You won’t want to swim in anything else and the good news is, the water repellency and durability of the suit means that you never have to!
A Suit That Delivers The upper body has been upgraded with a brand-new jersey liner for unrestrictive reach in the water and, new leg panelling delivers faster transition splits. Add to that a low neckline and VO2 chest panel (panels split with flexible neoprene), and you’ve got a suit that delivers everything you need for training and racing. Technologies and What Makes This the Best Reaction Yet REACTIVE STRETCH TECHNOLOGY (RST) - Further enhanced with ultra-stretch jersey, the RST panels improve arm mobility, reach and propulsion. S-FLEX - 2mm thin side panels improve fit and body rotation in the water, without sacrificing buoyancy. VO2 CHEST PANEL - A central split chest panel allows greater chest expansion and unimpeded breathing. LOWERED COLLAR - Curved closure flap reduces rear collar height, improving comfort and reducing chafing. Also features an easy-access key loop. QUICK EXIT LEGS - 2mm lower leg panels maximize the flexibility and promotes a quick release from your suit in transition. Taping on the internal seams is reinforced and allows you to cut the leg to a desired length. S-GRIP PANELS - A textured forearm print on our high stretch jersey provides extra feel for the water and additional grip in the propulsion phase of the stroke. AQUASEAL - The 4-way stretch fabric in the silicone cuffs seal the wrists from unwelcome water entry, without catching when removing the suit. BUOYANCY - The Reaction features a 4-5-4 panel design (referring to neoprene thickness), centralising core buoyancy to raise the position of the hips in relation to the rest of the body. Two 4mm chest panels accent natural lung buoyancy to optimize upper body position relative to the legs. 5mm neoprene supports the hips and lower torso, lifting the body in the water, reducing drag and improving speed. 5mm panels in the back of the hips are orientated to facilitate a raised body position when you roll to the side during breathing. FLEXIBILITY - Highly flexible 100% nylon ultra-stretch jersey is lighter and features 35% improvement in elongation compared to standard jersey. Care and storage Rinse your wetsuit in clean fresh water after each use. Dry inside out, then outside in. Keep away from direct sunlight. Avoid or limit use in chlorinated water.
Taking its name from a phrase coined by fast-jet military test pilots - (we'll let you research that one) - the BTW Speed Suit has been created purely in the pursuit of speed. Castelli utilised CFD analysis, 3D test mannequins, fabric research and testing, numerous wind tunnel tests, and real-world WorldTour riding, resulting in their most aero suit yet. Dimpled shoulders and sleeves deal with boundary-layer aerodynamics while a smooth body is deployed to reduce skin friction and reduce drag to as little as possible. The 3% saving comes at higher speeds, particularly between the 45-65 km/h range, speeds at which races are won and lost. While comfort wasn't the main focus for the BTW, Castelli still uses highly breathable, full-stretch fabrics. An increase in Lycra® content gives a super-snug fit, albeit with a slight reduction in wicking performance. And it doesn't have the same front opening as the San Remo suit, so pee stops are a bit more challenging. But it's a fast suit, and that's what counts. Progetto X² Air Seat Pad The top-end Progetto X2 Air Seatpad is now better than ever. Castelli has improved the shape of the back and improved the method of stitching it in place. The result is it now sits flatter and offers greater comfort. The X2 retains its awesome ventilating perforations, keeping you cooler and drier on endurance rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. A 3-layer component construction also features two densities of foam plus gel pads to provide progressive damping. A super-soft and stretchy next-to-skin layer, with an antibacterial finish, completes this premium pad.
Built for performance, the 2XU Compression Light Speed Tech Front Zip Tri Suit features a 3D mesh structure of premium Italian SBR VENT through the upper body to deliver an ergonomically designed fit that provides exception aerodynamics. Powerful and lightweight PWX fabric with circular knit 360-degree stretch reduces muscle movement and prevents fatigue while Muscle Containment Stamping (MCS) traces the quadriceps and dissipates the load transfer on the knee joint when running. PWX VENT lower body provides support and improves airflow by almost 200% so you remain cool and well ventilated. Swiss COLDBLACK® technology on the upper body and back reduce the absorption of heat rays and provides UV protection to keep you at optimal performance temperature. Designed with a TMF® Light Speed Tri Chamois with a dual-layer 90 density 6mm foam combined with 140 density 3mm foam for maximum comfort and support. Finally, easy access rear envelope pockets provide convenient storage for your race-day essentials. Care Instructions Machine wash in cold water with like colours. Do not tumble dry. Hang to dry in a cool shady area away from sun. Do not use bleach, fabric softeners or dryer sheets. Do not iron.

Arms Neutral™ Set Sleeves HUUB created Arms Neutral to enhance the body position most held during your activity and is a feature originally derived from their wetsuits. The cycling kit sleeves are cut in an arms forward position, to create neutral fabric tension on the body in your most held position.
Streamlined and ready to overtake the competition, the Zoot Wikiwiki Wetsuit has been designed to feel like a sleeveless wetsuit thanks to the 0.3mm Yamamoto Mark III super stretch neoprene utilised in the arm and shoulders. Giving excellent hydrodynamics and working to speed up stroke recovery times with a Waterwing catch panel that brings the forearm into a vertical position as quickly as possible. With a comfortable fit and excellent flexibility, you can perform at your best and never feel restricted in the open water, while quick release ankle panels allow for a speedy transition. Waterwing Catch Panel Increasing the surface area on your forearms, the Waterwing catch panels utilise the same principals from wind tunnel testing to create water turbulence at the stroke phase and reduce the vertex of water around the forearm to reduce drag and quickly bring the forearm back to a vertical position. Yamamoto Aerodrome Neoprene with SCS (Super Composite Skin) Coating Utilising the highest grade of rubber available, this wetsuit is crafted from the worlds best neoprene made at the Yamamoto Corporation in Japan. Delivering increased flexibility and durability while being better for the environment than traditional neoprene, the Yamamoto wetsuits absorb very little water and are naturally lighter and warmer. Yamamoto Aerodrome is designed with air bubbles between the fabric to make it lightweight and up to 30% more buoyant. Finished with a hydrodynamic SCS coating, you will be able to quickly glide through the water as drag is reduced, repelling water and protecting your wetsuit by reducing the possibility of rips and tears. GLIDEflex Technology & OKD (Optimal Kick Design) With maximum flexibility in the arms and shoulders, you can make the most of each stroke and travel further with less fatigue. GLIDEFLEX panels work to increase the stretch for maximum muscle and lung expansion while OKD, Zoot's propriety leg patterning increases kick velocity, frequency and efficiency so you can perform at your best. AQUAlift Buoyancy Profile Designed with 5mm neoprene at the mid/lower front side of the body, this highly buoyant wetsuit works to raise both the legs and torso our of the water so you are held in the ideal swimming position for maximum efficiency. DORSALflex Zipper Improving stretch and lung expansion, a 2mm neoprene panel around the back zipper eliminates the restrictive feeling when zipping up on traditional wetsuits and allows the suit to stretch with your body's natural movements. Neoprene Thickness Arm / Shoulder: 0.3mm Chest: 5mm Aerodome Hip / Thigh: 5mm/4mm Lower Leg: 4mm/3mm
