Primo Sl Ob women's racing suit, Future Dusk

W Powerskin Primo Closed back, closed-back women's racing swimsuit

Primo is the world's first tensoelastic racing swimsuit. Primo combines effective compression and exceptionally good flexibility in a new way. The suit supports the muscles and allows ample room for movement. This versatile new suit is suitable for all swimming styles and distances.

The suit is the result of several years of development and research by Arena, carried out in close cooperation with top swimmers. The suit is not comparable to previous racing suits, as it represents completely new technology based on textile innovation. The word Primo means "first" in Italian.

The suit's new Hyperforce™ fabric is tensoelastic (tension + elasticity); the fabric is firm yet flexible. Primo combines the highest compression, durability, and a completely new kind of flexibility throughout. The suit feels comfortable to wear and does not restrict movement.

The Hyperforce™ fabric has a flow-guiding surface that reduces water resistance and improves glide. The fabric is naturally water-repellent TPU fiber, which further enhances hydrodynamic performance. Thanks to the material, the suit can be recycled at the end of its life.

The front of the suit features the X-tape structure familiar from Arena's Carbon Glide suit, located inside the suit. The X-shaped tapes support and stabilize the core and connect the upper body to the hips. The tapes help detect if the body rotates too much during a stroke and guide it back to an economical, streamlined swimming position.

The back of the suit features supportive tapes over the buttocks and thighs, inside the suit. The tapes lift the hips and legs, facilitate leg extension, and help maintain the correct swimming posture when fatigued. The buoyancy of the taping can be particularly noticed during turns and dolphin kicks.

The flexible suit is easy to put on, significantly speeding up race day routines. The Primo can be put on in five minutes, whereas a traditional racing swimsuit might have taken 30-45 minutes to put on. However, choose the same size as your previous Arena racing swimsuit or follow the size chart. The speed of donning the suit does not indicate the suitability of the size. The flexible Primo is comfortable to wear and still provides top-level compression.

For the first time, Arena's racing swimsuit is available in two different lengths, according to upper body length. The longer length is available in sizes 30-34. The added fabric on the shoulder straps also increases comfort. A silicone band at the leg opening keeps the leg in place.
