Why you’ll love the Arena Carbon Air 2
Seamless construction: Seams just don’t belong in a race suit—it's that simple. They add unnecessary drag in the water and can feel irritating against your skin. That’s why it’s such a great feature that the Carbon Air 2 is completely seamless, guaranteeing a smooth, drag-free fit every time you swim.
3-piece lining: The special 3-piece lining offers the perfect flexibility, so you can move and stretch your body however you need to. This makes the suit ideal for any stroke—no matter what your specialty is, this Arena suit delivers.
Horizontal carbon fiber bands: The fabric is engineered with horizontal carbon fiber bands that lock in over your muscles, giving you better compression, more support, and full control of your body. In short, the suit helps you perform at your absolute best.
Easy on & off: It’s so important that your suit is easy to get into and out of. Sometimes you have just a short break between races, or you're starting soon after warm-up. The last thing you want is to waste time struggling with your suit—thankfully, the Arena Carbon Air 2 2023 makes quick changes a breeze.
Made of 52% Polyamide, 47% Elastane, 1% Carbon Fiber: These materials all combine to give you an amazing swim. The suit is so light and smooth you’ll almost forget it’s there, while still giving your muscles just the right support. That’s why it’s a favorite among top swimmers and used at the World Championships and Olympics.
So if you’re after a top-level, super reliable race suit, the Arena Carbon Air 2 Open Back 2023 in purple is definitely for you. It won’t let you down—you’ll really feel the difference, whether this is your first race suit or you already compete regularly.
How to care for your competition swimwear
Competition swimsuits and race trunks are technical gear with welded seams and printed logos. They’ll last the longest and keep their fit and compression when you handle them gently:
-
Rinse immediately in cold, clean water after each use—even after swimming in chlorine or salt water. Don’t wait until you get home.
-
Hand wash only. Never use a washing machine or dryer. Heat, spinning, and rubbing break down the fibers and loosen seams and logos.
-
Use mild soap or a detergent made for swimwear. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
-
Never wring your suit. Gently press out the water instead.
-
Lay flat to dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight, radiators, or any heat source.
-
Never leave your suit wet in a bag or rolled in a towel—this traps heat and chemicals that can damage the material.
-
Avoid rough surfaces like pool edges and tiles that can catch on seams or printed logos.

With Arena competition suits, size can vary depending on how much compression you want, so keep that in mind if you’re between two sizes.
