ARENA WOMENS CARBON CORE FX KNEESUIT
Black
Speed, power and lift, engineered into every stroke.
The POWERSKIN CARBON RANGE is designed to give you the best. Speed, power, lightness: choose swimwear that takes you to new heights. A new twin-tape structure delivers a leg lifting effect, while the all-over Carbon Cage material provides a powerful sensation of body stabilisation. Experience a new feeling of victory. Come and see what’s new.
3 Key Features
Carbon Cage Fabric
A horizontal and vertical grid surrounds specific muscle groups for very strong and durable all-over muscle compression with a locked-in feel. This structure is built into the outer shell using a blend that includes Carbon Fibre for rigidity where it counts. The result is targeted support that holds its character from warm-up to finish.
Twin-Tape Leg Lifting System
The twin-tape structure runs along the back of the legs to encourage a lifting effect, helping you hold a high body position even when fatigued. This supports maximum hip height in the water, reducing drag through the later stages of a race. It works in tandem with the internal taping system for a sensation of powerful support and core stabilisation.
Large Internal Lining with Carbon Bands
The generous internal lining coverage incorporates Carbon Bands for enhanced core stability and improved body position, keeping drag to a minimum. A front chest aperture in the lining allows better upper body flexibility without compromising overall compression or support. The maximum, evenly distributed pressure profile delivers a locked-in feel through both the legs and the torso.
Full Feature Breakdown
- Carbon Cage Outer ShellA horizontal and vertical carbon grid delivers very strong, durable muscle compression across specific muscle groups for a locked-in sensation throughout the race.
- Twin-Tape Back-Leg StructureTape panels on the back of the legs encourage a lifting effect to support a high body position and maximum hip height, particularly when fatigue sets in.
- Internal Taping SystemAn internal taping system provides a sensation of powerful support and core stabilisation from start to finish.
- Front Chest Aperture in LiningThe lining features a front chest aperture for better upper body flexibility without any compromise to overall compression or support.
- Large Internal Lining with Carbon BandsGenerous internal lining coverage with integrated Carbon Bands enhances core stability and helps maintain an optimal body position for lower drag.
- Evenly Distributed Pressure ProfileMaximum, evenly distributed pressure across the legs and torso ensures consistent compression with no weak points in support.
- Carbon Fibre Blend ConstructionThe outer shell incorporates 1% Carbon Fibre alongside Polyamide and Elastane for structural rigidity, while the lining mirrors this blend for internal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my size in the Arena Carbon Core FX Kneesuit?
Arena race suits are sized differently from training suits and fit deliberately tighter to maximise compression. We do not have a size guide available for this product online, so we recommend contacting our team directly who can help you find the right fit based on your measurements and experience with Arena suits.
Is the Carbon Core FX approved for competition?
Yes, the Arena Powerskin Carbon Core FX is approved by World Aquatics for use in sanctioned pool competition, making it suitable for club, county and open meets.
What does the Carbon Cage actually do, and how is it different from standard compression fabric?
The Carbon Cage is a structured horizontal and vertical grid woven into the outer shell using a blend that includes Carbon Fibre. Unlike standard elastane compression, this grid surrounds specific muscle groups to deliver very strong, durable compression with a rigid, locked-in feel rather than simply squeezing uniformly. Combined with the twin-tape lifting system and Carbon Bands in the lining, the result is a suit engineered to actively support body position rather than passively compress.
How should I look after this suit to protect the carbon construction?
Race suits with carbon and elastane blends require careful handling to preserve their compression properties. Please see our full aftercare guidance at full product aftercare guide for specific advice on rinsing, drying and storing this suit correctly.
Care Instructions
- Rinse immediately after every use in cool, non-chlorinated water

- Do not leave the wet suit in a bag for extended periods
- Leave to dry naturally avoiding sunlight
- Air dry by hanging away from direct heat sources
- Do not machine wash, tumble dry, wring, iron or dry-clean
- Race suit fabric: rinse immediately after every use to preserve performance properties

Why Buy from Allens Swimwear?
A Family Business Built on Swimming Since 1976
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.
