Don't own a ss, but have a tightish full zip long sleeve shirt, so shorts & shirt.
Nowhere to put your car-keys in a ss.

all the top riders both domestic and international appear to wear skinsuits but as for the reasoning I don't know.
I guess thinking about it - what's the need for a s/s jersey with pockets in an hour's race where you don't even need a bottle cage or bottle on your bike? _________________ The internet is possibly the greatest bitch fest on earth.

I hang my car keys off an old nappy pin, that I then pin inside my skinsuit, with another safety pin as well just in case the nappy pin comes off. It did once, at the end of a TT. The keys started slipping down my shorts & I was able to grab them as they fell out the bottom of my shorts. _________________ World Association of Conkers, Champion 2003,2004,2005 |

skin suit - no pockets to fill up with "CENSORED" mud off the back wheel. No baggy bits to snag on trees/bike/obstacles
unless you've put in a bit of weight then wearing a skin suit can lead to mental scarring when photos appear on miscellaneous websites....... i'm using jersey and shorts these days! |

Most cross SS are of a heavier weight material then TT suits. _________________ www.kentonrc.co.uk |

Ive had skinsuits made from impsport and if you ask they put a little flap on the back, just enough for a bar and gel and its so tight nothing falls out either.
I dont think it cost anymore. _________________ 24 Beers in a case.....
