What are people who bought one of these for USMS Nationals going to do? I'm sure Arena is going to offer to replace the suits, but with Nationals days away it's going to be tough to get a new one before the meet starts.
Arena, therefore, advised FINA of its decision to withdraw the approval codes of concerned POWERSKIN Carbon-Pro models:
AR220993 – woman full body open back
AR220994 – woman full body closed back
AR141364 – man jammer
Consequently, as of May 7 onwards, all POWERSKIN Carbon-Pro suits to be used in FINA sanctioned events will have the following approval codes:
AR221039 – woman full body open back
AR221028 – woman full body closed back
AR141028 – man jammer

People with these suits have to be grandfathered in for nationals. There is no way they could get a replacement. Retailers aren't even aware of Arena's announcement and don't have suits with the approved bar codes. Plus, I would assume most swimmers have no clue about this announcement.
Speed LZRs are still the main suit I see on deck. But increasingly, I see masters with the Arena suits.
