skinsuits for cycling

A skinsuit is designed to be the most aerodynamic clothing you can wear. Premium skinsuits feature special fabrics designed to reduce drag and manipulate airflow.

Fabrics are strategically placed and seams are also carefully considered and premium suits are often developed in the wind tunnel.

HOW MUCH FASTER IS WEARING A SKINSUIT FOR CYCLING?

Aerodynamic drag is the biggest force a cyclist needs to overcome when riding on the flat and typically 80 per cent of said drag is created by the rider. What you wear is therefore hugely significant.

When compared to a jersey and bib shorts, our testing has shown that a skinsuit is 21 to 28 seconds faster on a 25-mile-time trial when travelling at around 25mph.
