6 Powerskin ® ST is a highly performing racing swimsuit made of X-FLAT, a very light knitted fabric (142 gr/m²), specially treated to obtain an extra smooth outer surface. Thanks to the thinness and higher content of Lycra ® (29%), of its X-FLAT fabric, Powerskin ® ST ensures outstanding comfort and dries very quickly. X-FLAT fabric also guarantees excellent durability in chlorinated water and protection against ultra violet rays (50+ UPF). Powerskin ® XP delivers higher speed in swimming, thanks to its revolutionary Z- Raptor + high-tech and ultra-light fabric (120 gr/m²), which makes the suit smoother and more hydro-dynamic than any comparable suit from competition. Thanks to Z-Raptor + fabric features (35% of Lycra ®, with 100% horizontal / vertical elasticity), Powerskin ® XP delivers superior compression on the swimmers body, still guaranteeing maximum freedom of movement. Powerskin ® XP also significantly reduces surface drag thanks to its pattern, optimized stitching and superior Teflon coating. Powerskin ® R-EVO is a technological jewel, which has proven to be the fastest and the lightest racing swimsuit ever made with a 100% textile material. Thanks to the high-tech, ultra-light Arena Stealth fabric (99 gr/m²) all Powerskin ® R-EVO suits weight less than 100g, guaranteeing optimal compression combined with unmatchable comfort. Powerskin ® R-EVO is the one and only racing suit featuring the patented Arena one-piece design which, in combination with an advanced thermo-bonding system, allows a 100% stitch-less construction, with zero seams on the front. Powerskin ® R-EVO also allows the swimmer to keep superb stability and body alignment during the stroke, reducing surface and form drag. Arena 2010 Racing Swimwear Range
