I soooo wish I had a photo of a woman who races around here.... You wouldn't be afraid to wear a skin suit if this woman were to be showing up at your races cause all eyes are always on her so no one would notice you at all. She wears a flourescent pink full body skin suit. She even wore it on a day it was in the 80's (that's over 26.6 c) for an uphill TT. BTW if it was racing at a higher level she would not be allowed to wear this getup - the rules say your skinsuit can't have full legs, but no one really cares at the 4's level.

Really though don't be afraid of wearing a skin suit. I didn't get one this year because I didn't have one on my clothing order yet and I'd already gotten the total up to over $400... Pretty much no one looks good in them so you wouldn't be alone. My husband's team kit skinsuits (and I think ours too for that matter) since they are black in the shorts area and a light color above make everyone look a little potbellied when the are standing upright no matter how skinny they are, but its not a fashion contest and everyone is more focused on their own race than bothering to look at you (unless you are head to toe in hot pink that is)
