ARENA Sale Dates (2026) | Year-Round Sales Calendar

Major discounts land during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday window in November, where sitewide offers are common. You will also see seasonal markdowns when racing collections refresh (usually spring or post-summer) and occasional flash promos on goggles or training gear.

Absolutely. Discounted Powerskin suits are usually just older colorways or discontinued prints rather than defective stock. They still carry the same compression technology and FINA (World Aquatics) approval tags unless stated otherwise.

Tech suits fit much tighter than practice swimwear. If you are buying a discounted race suit for the first time, check the specific size chart for that model (e.g., Carbon Air² vs. Core FX) because fit varies by compression level. Sizing down too aggressively can damage the bonded seams.

Goggles like the Cobra Ultra Swipe see price drops during “Back to Pool” events (late summer) or bundled promotions. Racing bundles—where you buy a suit and get goggles for free or half-off—are another common way to save on eyewear.

It depends on the region. On the US site, heavily marked-down “Final Sale” gear cannot be returned or exchanged. European shops may offer more flexibility due to local laws, so always spot-check the return policy on the product page before checkout.

ARENA operates separate warehouses and inventory for North America and Europe. This means a promo code or sale event on the Italian site won't work on the US store, and stock levels for specific prints will vary wildly between continents.

No, the Swipe Anti-Fog coating doesn't degrade on the shelf. If you buy a pair on clearance, just remember to activate it by swiping the inner lens with your finger while underwater; it's designed to last much longer than traditional coatings.

Yes, triathlon gear often hits the sale section in the off-season (winter months). It's the best time to grab a high-end neoprene wetsuit for open water swimming, as prices tend to rebound once spring race season approaches.

Rarely. ARENA’s checkout system generally prevents stacking coupons on items that are already deeply discounted or in the Outlet. Occasional sitewide holidays might be the exception, but standard codes usually apply to full-price gear only.

A carbon-fiber racing suit maintains peak compression for about 10 to 12 races. To extend its life, rinse it in cold water immediately after swimming and lay it flat to dry—never use a dryer or wring it out, even if you got it for a bargain.
