Rio medalists and world champion sprinters Emily Seebohm and Ruta Meilutyteprefer 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. Fit tips: Most swimmers go down one size from their training suit size. If you’ve ordered multiple sizes, try the biggest one first. If you can’t get it on, it’s too small. If it has ripples and gaps, it’s too big. Compression Level Rating: 5 (1 - least compression | 5 - most compression).

Great price for a tech suit
I’m a coach and grab suits for some of my swimmers that can’t afford them. This came on sale from Metro Swim Shop (we’ve purchased several things from) and it came quickly and as described. I share the items with our team!! Highly recommend this vendor!!My daughter was a swimmer and loved this suit. It fits true to the measurements and is a great suit. That’s why I picked it up for one of my swimmers. 100% recommended.

Best tech suit for swimmers with long torso
This tech suit is absolutely awesome, especially for swimmers with a long torso. It is my 3rd Arena Carbon Flex. Each one has offered me great compression, performance, and longevity. I have never had problems with tearing. Like all tech suits, it takes a solid 20-30 minutes to get this baby on. Once on, the shoulder straps feel comfortable, which helps when you’re waiting for your race (no shoulder pain/fatigue). Water beads off the material and buoyancy is fantastic. For sizing, I have had the best luck by prioritizing my torso size, then hips, then making sure my other measurements fit close to the recommended size generated by those other two factors. I highly recommend this suit to competitive swimmers.

Very high chest
This suit is a very good quality suit for its price but my only recommendation would be if you have a smaller chest, skip over arena suits. This suit was very nice but came up very high on my neck.

Good fit, good suit.
Seemed like it may have been too big, but it was tight in the pool and didn’t create any drag.

Size chart is different
Sizing is wrong. Way too big.
