Arena Carbon suits

Laugh Out Loud · 06-07-2012, 10:10 AM

Have been waiting since April for this suit now been told Arena are so far behind
they can only supply UK with 10 a week instead of the 400 they need, cos USA and other coutries are getting them first!! Would love not to bother but daughter desperate for one and has bought it with her own money. Have emailed Arena over this. Is there really such a shortage or are they doing what the toy companies do at Christmas make less so its a huge scramble!

My team mate had a heck of a problem getting one before the World Champs but she did finally get one for them from a UK supplier. Seems she might want to sell it now though after one swim as she still prefers Jaked!!!!. What size do you need :-) ?

The boy swims in 22" Lazer Ultra's as norm so managed to find a 24" jammer in the red -
No chance could not get it over his knee's. Luckily have found a pair in "Acid Green" (sorry but the marketing guys are fighting a losing battle because any word not including the product of your nostrils will just not fit the bill!) Anyway was told buy for the real waist which we did, so now he is proud owner of a pair of 28" carbon pro's so 22 - 28 overnight he is a growing lad, So look out for the 12 year old lad in snot green trunks at Age Group and we will see if they work..... Meanwhile I will try and collect his portion of the purchase price (Yes I forgot to collect before they came!)
