Description

Rio medalists and world champion sprinters Emily Seebohm and Ruta Meilutyte prefer 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.
