FAQs

Does this swimwear run true to size?

The product information states that this item may run small. If you are in doubt between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the next size up for a more comfortable fit.

What makes the Carbon Air² different from other racing suits?

The Carbon Air² features a unique single-piece outer shell for seamless construction, integrated horizontal carbon fiber bands for enhanced compression and support, and a 3-piece liner design for maximum range of motion, all contributing to unified hydrodynamics and speed.

Is this suit suitable for training or just competition?

While optimized for competitive racing due to its FINA-approved status and performance features, the durable construction and muscle support can also be beneficial for intense training sessions.

How do I properly put on this racing suit?

Ensure the suit is dry. Gently pull it up over your feet and legs, making sure the fabric is smoothly distributed and the internal liner is correctly positioned. Avoid pulling aggressively on any single point of the fabric.

Can I machine wash this swimsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash gently with cold water and mild soap if necessary, and always rinse immediately after use.

What is the main benefit of the carbon fiber bands?

The horizontal carbon fiber bands lock onto key muscles, providing targeted compression and support. This helps to stabilize the core, improve body position in the water, and enhance overall power and efficiency during swimming.

What does FINA-approved mean?

FINA (Fédération Internationale de Natation) is the international governing body for aquatic sports. A FINA-approved swimsuit meets specific regulations regarding material, coverage, and thickness, making it legal for use in official FINA-sanctioned competitions.

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

This suit is designed for a snug, compressive fit. If it feels excessively tight or uncomfortable, consider trying the next size up, as recommended in the product description. Ensure it is pulled on correctly, with the liner in place.

Reduced performance or comfort after several uses.

Ensure the care instructions are being followed precisely. Improper rinsing, drying, or exposure to chlorine can degrade the material and carbon bands. Rinse immediately after use and dry flat away from heat.

Fabric feels less supportive or stretched out.

This can occur if the suit has been exposed to harsh chemicals, excessive heat, or abrasive surfaces. Always follow the care instructions and avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
