The Arena Powerskin Carbon Duo Top is the world's first competition top of a modular two-piece racing system designed exclusively for female athletes. Its open-back construction with carbon band technology delivers maximum shoulder rotation, freedom of movement, and breathability with every stroke. The outer shell is crafted from 65% polyamide, 34% elastane, and 1% carbon fibre, while the inner lining consists of 52% polyamide, 47% elastane, and 1% carbon fibre. By choosing top and bottom sizes independently, swimmers benefit from 49 sizing combinations to tailor compression and fit precisely to their body shape. The Carbon Duo Top is FINA-approved when worn together with the matching Carbon Duo Bottom, ensuring full compliance at the highest level of competition.
