Arena Women's Powerskin ST 2.0 Open Back Tech Suit Swimsuit Reviews

11/28/2018 First Kneeskin

By Ellen

This is the first kneeskin I have purchased for my daughter. She is about 5'2" 105lbs and the size 22 fit great. She is so excited to wear it. I also love the tips that came with the suit. I never would have thought to wear dollar store gloves to put it on without snagging it with a fingernail. Fabulous purchase!

7/29/2019 Exceeded my expectations!

By Alibaba

I am a masters swimmer who competes a handful of times per year. I usually race in Speedo, but decided to try the Arena Powerskin since my son loved his Arena suit. My biggest concern was that I was going to have water rush down the top of my suit and possibly the bottom with every flip turn, but I was pleasantly surprised that even after racing a 1500m free in the suit that I had no issues! And, for the price, the Powerskin is a much better option than the more expensive suits.

7/5/2019 Long enough!

By Long Torso swimmer

I picked the Arena because I have a particularly long "Torso Loop" and it was the only brand whose size chart had something supposedly long enough for me. I had to return the initial size I tried because I could not get it up to and over my shoulders (to be fair I was at the top end of all the measurements in the size chart), but the next size up was very easy to get on and was comfortable to wear the whole meet. I think there is quite a big difference between sizes. The one I ended up keeping (the smallest one I could get into) is probably a bit too loose but I don't think it slowed me down. An added advantage is the colors are great and the price is not outrageous.

By Masooma

This swim suit is awesome! It looks and feels great on. I think I should have gone a size up but the more I use it the better it fits. I think the straps are a little tight on the shoulders, but you don’t feel them in the water. It meant to be tight coz it’s a compression suit. I definitely feel faster when swimming as there is no drag at all! Very happy with the purchase.

12/2/2019 Amazing

By Imaswimmer

I love this tech suit because I have a large chest for my age and had trouble finding a suit the covers everything. This suit is super amazing, it’s really stretchy so it’ll fit pretty much anyone and it’s really comfortable[OPENBRK]for a tech suit[CLOSEBRK].

2/17/2020 Great First Tech Suit!

By Ann Monsey

I bought this for my 12 year old daughter for her first finals meet. Very nice quality and she loved how it made her feel in the water. She wanted it very tight so I bought her a size 22. She is 5' 5" and weighs about 120 lbs.

2/14/2020 Amazing Suit!

By Ava

This suit was my first knee skin so I was kind of nervous. Follow the size chart!! It feels so good on my body and I dropped a lot of time in my events!

11/26/2019 Fits like a glove!

By Alison B.

There is something about Arena suits that both my kids love. They love the fit, the feel, the material. My daughter is slim and long. The shoulders are tight without cutting and the torso is long enough to that it’s not pulling up on her with a constant wedgie. We haven’t gotten it wet yet but expect it to be like all the other Arena tech suits we have owned. The suit arrived I great shape and she’s looking forward to her next meet!

12/29/2019 Nice Looking Suit..Too Large😌

By SwimMomma x3

My daughter really loved the color [OPENBRK]royal/aqua blue[CLOSEBRK] and wanted this suit to work out for a big meet for which she needed to cut time. I loved the discounted price and quality of the suit and was hopeful for a good fit as I’ve seen several swimmers with the same suit at various meets. When I saw the item on Swim Outlet, I decided to give it a try based on the cost and reviews. My swimmer is 11 yrs. old 5’2”..97lbs with a strong, lean build. Unfortunately, the Arena Powerskin size 22 was too big. Her normal practice suits are size 24 or 26. I noted that it only took her 10 minutes to get it on with no assistance. Typically putting on a new tech suit presents a challenge taking a minimum of 30+ minutes to carefully squeeze into with help. It should feel snug to provide the needed amount of compression, but it was not. So, though the suit was nice looking, we returned it. I recommend going 2-3 sizes down for a better fit. We won’t be purchasing this particular suit again until my daughter grows a bit as the smallest size currently available is a 22. Luckily, as a backup, we also ordered a slightly less expensive tech suit in a size 22-Speedo PowerPlus Kneeskin. It was perfect [OPENBRK]tight, but not
too tight[CLOSEBRK] and she cut time in every event over a three day meet.

By Ann

This was my second tech suit and I really liked it! I am 5'4 and 105 pounds so I got a size 24. When I tried it on it fit perfectly and tight like it should be, than when I got into the water it did loosen up a bit. Overall it is good.
