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
)
*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-...QQcmdZViewItemLast edited by Eden; 05-14-2007 at 01:18 PM.

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

on the other hand it does appear that the person who sells them does customize - I'll bet if you sent her a chamois......"Sharing the road means getting along, not getting ahead" - 1994 Washington State Driver's Guide

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. Originally Posted by mimitabby
