Arena Women's Carbon Air 3 Open
Arena Carbon Air 3: the new generation of Carbon Air
The Powerskin Carbon Air 3 is the evolution of the Carbon Air 2.
Arena has maintained one of the elements that made the Air family famous: an extremely lightweight and elastic fabric, designed to offer a great feeling of freedom of movement.
The Air 3, however, introduces a more advanced construction, with greater attention to pelvic and leg support.
The result is a swimsuit that retains the characteristic "second skin" feel of the Air, but offers more support than the previous generation.
Why choose Carbon Air 3?
Extremely lightweight fabric
High elasticity
Moderate compression
More support than Carbon Air 2
New internal construction
Leg support system
Great freedom of movement
Ideal for those who do not like extremely compressive swimsuits
The Carbon Air 3 is particularly interesting for those looking for tech suit performance without sacrificing natural movement.
Carbon Air 3 vs Carbon Air 2
The most natural comparison is between the two generations of the Air family.
The Carbon Air 2 was one of Arena's most appreciated swimsuits precisely for its lightness and the feeling of freedom it offers to the swimmer.
The new Carbon Air 3 retains these features, but introduces a more advanced construction and greater support.
| Feature | Carbon Air 2 | Carbon Air 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Lightness | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Elasticity | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Compression | ⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Support | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Freedom of movement | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Comfort | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Feel | Second skin | Second skin + support |
Which to choose between Air 2 and Air 3?
If you have always appreciated the Carbon Air 2 but want a more modern swimsuit with greater support, the Carbon Air 3 is the natural evolution.
If, on the other hand, you already own an Air 2 and you particularly like its extreme freedom of movement, switching to the Air 3 does not radically change the philosophy of the swimsuit: you will find a very similar feeling, but with a more structured construction.
