We are looking here at the full tri-wetsuit in the powerskin range and also a sleeveless version that you can see here.
These tri-wetsuits are obviously designed for swimming and they are made up of a mixture of different neoprenes, different thicknesses of neoprenes that do different things.
We have four different thicknesses in this suit, placed in different areas, so for example through the core region here we have a 4mm neoprene to give more buoyancy, we have a 1.5mm neoprene here in the shoulders and the arms to allow you to have more flexibility when you are swimming and not restricting your natural motion in any way.
Down below we have a 3mm in the lower legs, 3mm in the back, upper back, again to give you the best position.
So it’s really important that the buoyancy is at the right level, so that you’re even and flat in the water.
You don’t want to be too high in the front or too high in the legs, to give you a good body position.
Also underneath, we have a super-stretched neoprene, double-laminated both sides with fabric for extra durability and again it’s all about flexibility, keeping you completely free in the reach during your stroke.
Around the neck, we have a 2mm neoprene here and that’s obviously for a good seal on the neck as well as better comfort.
If we take a look at the back of the suit and the zipper, there we have a reverse zipper for very specific reasons for triathlon and open water use.
So the reverse zipper gives you unique benefits.
One is that by having the zipper pulled when it’s closed in the bottom here you remove the back of the neck, you create a better seal around here letting less water in as well as it’s more comfortable when you are lifting your head during the race and spotting to see where your competitors and where you are.
In addition to that it’s very quick release when you come out of the swim, one pull on your zipper cord and your suit opens, and also you have absolutely no risk of anybody during the race pulling your zipper cord by mistake and opening your zipper which is a disaster.
The neoprene we use is also polyurethane coated which gives you better glide through the water and least resistance.
As I said earlier, we have a sleeveless version over there for those who want even less restriction in the arms and that’s available to come in men and women.
So both sexes are catered for.
And those are the features and benefits that you find in the Arena Powerskin Tri-Wetsuit.
