Description
xThe Powerskin Impulso’s compressive woven fabric is designed for the optimal combination of compression, muscle support and comfort. It supports the muscles and improves the hydrodynamic position of the body in the water, helping to reduce drag. This balance makes it ideal for competitive swimmers who need performance without sacrificing comfort.
The hydrophobic treatment of the fabric minimises water absorption and resistance in the water, directly improving hydrodynamics on every length. Its lightweight and quick-drying properties make it suitable for multiple events in a single session. The flat surface construction further reduces surface resistance for a cleaner passage through the water.
Made with the best Italian woven technical fabric, the Impulso is more durable and resistant than knitted fabric and retains its shape over time. Durable low-profile flatlock seams, ergonomically placed, provide exceptional stretch for more freedom of movement and greater comfort. This construction ensures the suit holds its performance characteristics race after race.

No. This suit is intended for competitive use only and is not recommended for training. Regular pool sessions will degrade the technical fabric and hydrophobic treatment more quickly, reducing race-day performance.
Arena sizing can differ from standard clothing sizes, so we recommend checking our Arena Powerskin Impulso Mens Size Guide before ordering to find the best fit for your measurements.
The Powerskin Impulso uses an Italian woven technical fabric, which is more durable and resistant than knitted alternatives. It retains its shape over time and delivers moderate compression alongside a hydrophobic treatment that minimises water absorption and surface resistance.
Yes, the Arena Powerskin Impulso Limited Edition Jammer is World Aquatics approved, making it eligible for use at sanctioned competitive events.

Allens Swimwear is a family-run business founded in 1976 by Dennis Allen and his daughter Linda Beal. It started from a genuine need. “With 2 swimmers in the family it was often difficult to find the right kit, so dad and I took the plunge and started selling to local swimmers at our local pool in Kingsbury out of a suitcase and we’ve never looked back.” Today, Linda, her husband Richard, and three of their children Danny, Will and Jenna still run the business together. The suitcase may be long gone, but the founding principle of helping swimmers get the right kit remains exactly the same.

Watch our guide to measuring for the Arena Powerskin Impulso Men's.
Measure your waist and hip using a soft tape measure directly against your skin. Use the hip measurement as the primary guide and compare both measurements to the sizing table above. Speak to a member of staff at Allens if you are unsure.
Measure your waist (A) at the natural waist point and your hip (B) at the widest point, keeping the tape horizontal and level. Both measurements should be taken directly against your skin with no clothing. Use the hip as the primary sizing guide.
If your measurements fall between two sizes, speak to a member of staff at Allens who will be happy to advise on the best fit for you. Arena racing jammers are designed to fit closely — a suit that fits correctly should feel firm and supportive without restricting breathing or movement.
A tech suit jammer should feel firm and compressive but wearable throughout a full competition day. It should be completely wrinkle-free when correctly fitted — any bunching or gathering indicates the suit is too large. The waistband should sit flat with no rolling, and leg hems should end above the knee.
Arena racing jammers are competition suits and are not designed for regular training use. Using a tech suit for training will degrade the fabric and reduce its lifespan significantly. Reserve it for races and competition warm-ups. Arena offer a wide range of training jammers for everyday pool use.
Rinse the suit in cold fresh water immediately after every use. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or dry-clean. Store flat and dry, away from direct sunlight. Avoid contact with sunscreen, oils, and petroleum-based products. Do not wring or twist the suit.
Arena racing suit sizes (22–34) do not directly correspond to standard clothing sizes. Always use body measurements to select the correct Arena size. The international size equivalents shown in the table (France, UK, USA, Italy, Germany) are provided as a secondary reference — always prioritise body measurements.
Yes — the Arena Powerskin Impulso meets FINA/World Aquatics specifications and is approved for use in all sanctioned competitive swimming events. Always check with your event organiser for any local rules regarding tech suits in competition. Speak to a member of staff at Allens if you need further guidance.
