*Greg Steyger: arena racing category manager<\/p>\n

Why did you design a new suit, did you discover a new need?<\/em><\/p>\n

As we know, each swimmer is different. They have different needs which are influenced by different body shapes, different swim strokes and distances and different personal preferences. To satisfy all of these needs, it is important to provide choices and options. We developed this new suit to ensure we offer our top technology in a variety of different suits. The arena Powerskin Carbon-Air<\/strong><\/a> completes the trilogy \u2013 Carbon-Pro<\/strong><\/a>, Carbon-Flex<\/strong><\/a> and Carbon-Air<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

What was this need? Who will benefit? <\/em><\/p>\n

Carbon-Air<\/strong> stands for lightness and comfort, hence the name. Some swimmers want to be hugged but not squeezed. This could be personal preference or related to the duration of their event, or their discipline. The added comfort could be appreciated by mid to long distance swimmers for example.<\/p>\n

How do you position this suit in respect to the other suits in the range?<\/em><\/p>\n

Powerskin Carbon-Air<\/strong> is part of the Carbon Series family and provides many of the performance benefits of the Carbon-Pro and Carbon-Flex suits, specifically the intelligent compression<\/em>, but with a focus on comfort.<\/p>\n

Who is going to swim in the new Carbon-Air? Is it designed to suit a particular stroke or specific distance? <\/em><\/p>\n

As mentioned earlier, it\u2019s all about providing options. If a swimmer is looking for comfort, without compromising performance, then Carbon-Air<\/strong> could be suitable for them, depending on their own personal needs. So it\u2019s not limited to any particular stroke or distance.<\/p>\n

Why is it special? How is it unique?<\/em><\/p>\n

The uniqueness is in the balance of comfort and performance. Its special as the fabric is incredibly lightweight yet maintains performance in terms of compression<\/em> and durability.<\/p>\n

Were swimmers involved in its development?<\/em><\/p>\n

As always, this is where it all begins \u2013 with the swimmers. They talk, we listen. We create, we test and we listen again. Then we fine-tune with their help and perfect the product. We developed this suit with members of the arena elite team and tested with well over 100 elite swimmers in Europe and the USA.<\/p>\n

What is the genuine feeling of those who have swam in it? <\/em><\/p>\n

You should ask them! But the feedback has been unanimous \u2013 Powerskin Carbon-Air<\/strong> is a great suit. The swimmers understand the concept immediately \u2013 from the first time they touch the suit and then after they swim in it.<\/p>\n

Is it aimed towards male or female swimmers?<\/em><\/p>\n

It is not at all gender specific \u2013 it can be enjoyed by both.<\/p>\n

Can it help me win races? (It is cheaper than the other two, is it good enough?)<\/em><\/p>\n

Powerskin Carbon-Air<\/strong> uses our latest and top level carbon technology \u2013 it is a high performance, FINA approved suit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s available at an affordable price<\/a>.<\/p>\n
