The Canadian speed skating team unitards, okay "speed suits". Whatever you call them, let's just face the facts that 98% of us would not look hot in one of those puppies. And no, you do not look good in bike shorts either. As a matter of fact, if I talking to someone wearing said bike shorts I tend to get umcomfortable for them. Maybe it is the butt padding. That doesn't even sound right does it... "butt padding."
Their onesies are scientifically designed with "energy returning patches on the inside of their thighs." Who would not want that? When I was huskier than today (yes that really means "fat" but "husky" makes you think a bit like... does that mean he had big shoulders? Rather than, yea, that guy lived at Arby's) I could have used a little energy return on my inner thigh. There was enough friction there to start a fire on Survivor. Never mind the rash.
That was too much information wasn't it.
Alas, when you are dealing with hundredth's of a second, and your power is derived from your legs. No friction is a good thing. Well, unless you are stranded on an island with no fire of course.
Check out the article highlighting that fact and some other pretty cool scientific stuff.
