Designed entirely in limestone Yamamoto SCS neoprene, a material not derived from petroleum and with a low environmental impact, the Powerskin Storm wetsuit was developed with the contribution of the best athletes in the world and integrates Arena carbon fibre technology, which supports the body during swimming and allows you to maintain an optimal position in the water.
The different thicknesses of the neoprene ensure maximum buoyancy, extraordinary flexibility and total freedom of movement. The special double-layer construction on the forearms ensures a better feeling when gripping, while the thinner and highly elastic neoprene on the wrists and ankles will allow you to put on and take off the suit in a very short time. The profile of the collar is designed to offer maximum comfort and zero chafing.
The Powerskin Storm wetsuit is approved for all major racing circuits, including FINA, ITU, Ironman and USAT.
Characteristics :
Optimal Body Position : The POWERSKIN STORM's 4mm thick laminate material is designed with 3 layers of Yamamoto neoprene. The middle layer uses Airlock technology, which traps air during the lamination process thanks to perforated fabric. This type of construction provides 30% more buoyancy than standard 4mm neoprene and allows the athlete to feel their body more lifted while swimming. The Airlock neoprene is strategically placed in the mid-section and upper thighs, ensuring optimal body position in the water, smooth rotation and maximum flexibility.
Maximum freedom of movement : The STORM wetsuit uses only highly elastic Yamamoto neoprene: it is a mix of #39 and #40. This type of neoprene is made from limestone, which makes the wetsuit extremely flexible, thus offering athletes unlimited freedom of movement and a totally natural and comfortable feeling when swimming. This elastic neoprene has a different thickness depending on its positioning on the wetsuit, to ensure total freedom in performing movements, optimal buoyancy and ease in maintaining a hydrodynamic position in the water.
Wear-resistant : All the welds of the STORM wetsuit are made with 100% waterproof glue, to offer you maximum wear resistance and long life. They are also reinforced with an invisible double stitching, which involves only half of the fabric and leaves the surface of the wetsuit completely smooth and seamless. The result is a perfectly sealed joint.
Reduced environmental impact : Yamamoto neoprene is made from limestone. This sedimentary rock is mainly composed of minerals, calcite and aragonite and therefore no petroleum is used in the processing of this material. The energy saved in this phase reduces the environmental impact of this product, compared to other wetsuits on the market.
Zero neck chafing : The STORM wetsuit has a smooth collar with flat edges and a soft inner lining, designed to reduce chafing against the skin.
Quick to put on and take off : The wetsuit features thin Yamamoto neoprene at the wrists and ankles, designed to offer maximum elasticity, making the wetsuit easy to put on and take off during quick transition phases in racing or training.
Better glide in the water : Yamamoto neoprene is coated with Nano SCS (Super Composite Skin), to ensure zero water absorption. The microcell structure of the coating is perfectly water-repellent, allowing athletes to swim with less friction and glide perfectly in the water.
World-class performance : All Airlock neoprene is laminated to the inside with Powerskin fabric with carbon fiber integration, an exclusive feature of arena wetsuits. This patent-pending fabric offers podium-level performance, so much so that it is worn by the world's best swimmers. The secret to its success is the unrivaled core support it provides athletes. An added benefit of this fabric is its quick-drying and water-repellent properties, so you don't have to wait too long between swims.
Stroke Sensitivity : The STORM wetsuit features an ultra-thin double-lined neoprene panel along the inside of the forearm, to offer extraordinary sensitivity and excellent sensations in the water, especially during the catch and pull phases of the stroke.
FINA, ITU, IRONMAN and USAT approved : O: Thanks to its high standards of excellence, the STORM wetsuit is the first modern high-end wetsuit that meets all the requirements set by FINA (International Swimming Federation), World Triathlon (formerly ITU-International Triathlon Union), World Triathlon Corporation (WTC - owners of the Ironman circuit) and USAT (USA Triathlon). The STORM wetsuit is fully FINA approved in terms of construction, materials and logo placement and can therefore be used in any level of competition belonging to the FINA circuit.
