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.
