Powerskin ST Next Open Back Women's Racing Swimsuit

The first-ever FINA-approved racing suit for women, designed with recycled fabrics, offers a phenomenal difference - it is lighter, more durable, and faster. Focused on sustainability, over 60% of this suit's fabric is made from recycled yarns. The specific characteristics of the new fabric provide longer-lasting compression and greater durability.

The ergonomic construction with low-profile seams ensures a perfect fit and excellent freedom of movement. Reinforced shoulder straps offer outstanding comfort and durability. Greater support and compression on the core and legs increase power and provide a streamlined position in the water.

This FINA-approved product is the result of arena's 45+ years of working alongside the world's top athletes, universities, and innovation centers to develop technical suits that allow users to be the best version of themselves when racing.

Introducing the next generation of competitive swimsuits: arena POWERSKIN ST NEXT. Compared to the previous ST 2.0, this re-envisioned version is 20% lighter, resulting in less water absorption and drag. The specific fabric characteristics provide longer-lasting compression and greater durability. Over 60% of the yarns used in its fabrication come from pre- and post-consumer waste, which would have otherwise ended up in landfills.

The FINA-approved status of the ST NEXT makes it the first of its kind to be suitable for competitions. The improved fabric construction enhances the range of motion, while reinforced shoulder straps and increased fabric elasticity ensure comfort and compression. The upgraded fabric also makes the suit easier and quicker to get on and off.

To design and manufacture all products in a progressively more conscious way is a key step in arena's commitment to reducing environmental impact. The launch of the first FINA-approved racing suit made with recycled yarns, the Powerskin ST NEXT, is a testament to this. The sustainable fabric sources include PET plastic bottles and industrial waste such as yarn and chip waste.

The Powerskin range offers various options for racing, each engineered for specific performance needs. The ST NEXT features 60% recycled fabric, the Carbon Air2 has integrated carbon fiber, and the Carbon Glide comprises the highest content of carbon fiber. All models are designed to maximize speed, mobility, and comfort while competing.
