Carbon thread framework locks down when critical stress levels kick in, giving maximum compression on over-extended zones, increasing support and control while boosting performance; Reduces drag, improves efficiency, and gives maximum power
Strategic placement of internal tapes and bonded seams ensures maximum power for dives and turns while allowing unprecedented fit
Suit pattern is designed to store potential energy, which is released during dives, kicks and turns to maximize efficiency, power, and speed
V-Flex system of bonded seams follow biomechanical 'Flex Lines' on both the front seam and back seams create a tension line to maximize muscle support
The front and rear seams create a sort of 'X' construction to anchor the tension of all seams; Creates a perfect link between the lower and upper halves of the suit, providing the ideal torsional platform off which the swimmers can leverage strokes and kicks
Description
Rio medalists and world champion sprinters Emily Seebohm and Ruta Meilutyteprefer the power, speed, and freedom of movement of the Open Back POWERSKIN Carbon Flex VX. The Flex VX combines arena's patented V-Flex construction - designed with revolutionary placement of seams to provide maximum hip mobility - with POWERSKIN Intelligent Compression and Power Return Construction technologies for optimized performance. The fit has been improved from previous iterations of the Carbon Flex to provide more room around the thighs and the hips, while maintaining that locked-in feel and streamlined hydrodynamics. Stay at your current practice suit size for fitting into this one. Fit tips: Most swimmers go down one size from their training suit size. If you've ordered multiple sizes, try the biggest one first. If you can't get it on, it's too small. If it has ripples and gaps, it's too big. Compression Level Rating: 5 (1 - least compression | 5 - most compression).
