arena Powerskin Veloce Open Back is an open-back women's racing swimsuit from the Neon Blaze special collection.
Veloce is a versatile new suit suited to every swimming stroke and distance. It meets the needs of swimmers who prioritise maximum comfort without compromising on compression. The suit supports the muscles while allowing plenty of freedom of movement.
The suit's Hyperforce™ fabric is tensoelastic (tension + elasticity): firm yet flexible. Veloce combines all-round mid-level compression, durability and an entirely new kind of stretch. The suit feels pleasant to wear and does not restrict movement.
The Hyperforce™ fabric has a flow-guiding surface that reduces water resistance and improves glide. The fabric is a naturally water-repellent TPU fibre, which further enhances hydrodynamics. Thanks to this material, the suit can be recycled at the end of its life.
The front of the suit features the X-tape construction familiar from arena's Carbon Glide suit, placed on the inside. The X-shaped taping supports and stabilises the core and connects the upper body to the hips. The taping helps you notice if the body rotates too far during the stroke and returns you to an economical, streamlined swimming position.
The back of the suit has firm taping over the buttocks and rear thighs on the inside. This taping lifts the hips and legs, eases leg extension and helps maintain correct swimming posture when tired. The lift of the taping is especially noticeable in the turn and the dolphin kick.
The new Flex-Max straps are wider. With a flexible base and edge, the straps stay flat against the shoulders without folding. The greater width allows better pressure distribution, reducing strain on the shoulder (trapezius muscle) and minimising restriction. The result is better mobility, reduced fatigue and increased overall comfort. A silicone band at the leg opening keeps the leg in place.
The stretchy suit is easy to put on, significantly speeding up race-day routines. Veloce can be put on in five minutes, whereas a traditional racing suit could take 30–45 minutes. Still choose the same size as your previous arena racing suit, or follow the size chart. The speed of putting the suit on does not indicate the correct fit. The stretchy Veloce is comfortable to wear yet still delivers higher compression.
Veloce is available in two lengths according to torso length. The longer length is available in sizes 30–34.
