Ebay? Someone probably made one at one point in time. There's a gal around here who wears a flourescent pink one to TT's (and its full body too- arms and legs:eek: )

*edit* my, my the things one can find on ebay (no this is not a manequin - it really is a suit......) http://cgi.ebay.com/Metallic-Purple-Lycra-Spandex-unitard-zentai-T06_W0QQitemZ320111949349QQihZ011QQcategoryZ45275QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

A skin suit looks a bit like a short sleeved/legged wetsuit... but its made from lycra, has no pockets and is very tight - skin-tight in fact.

They are worn in time trials to maximise aerodynamic potential... little things like a loose jersey or pockets flapping in the wind can mean vital seconds are lost.

I'm pretty sure this isn't intended for cycling purposes - not sure how that "crotch zipper" would work out while you were in TT mode :D .

Quite agree - it was made for something else entirely.... (but that is what appeared when "skin suit" + purple were searched.....

on the other hand it does appear that the person who sells them does customize - I'll bet if you sent her a chamois......

Not a Skin Suit per se - rowing clothing
