So club kit ordering time, a good jersey would be a lot more versatile than a skin suit. Would I giving much away in crits if I went for the jersey option?

They were talking about this but with reference to XCO racing. [image] Skin suit vs bibs and Jersey Equipment Besides the obvious of a couple watts of aero, is there any huge advantages of a skinsuit to bibs and Jersey for xco racing? What do you guys prefer? The main reas…

I would totally go for a Skinsuit. I have nice skinsuits for racing and midrange/budget bibs and jerseys for training. I don’t need to go fast when i’m training so as long as it’s comfortable it doesn’t need to be aero. When i’m racing I want to be as aero as possible so I always wear a skinsuit. A…

For road racing, I’m quite partial to the two-piece type skinsuits (like the vie13 “warrny suit” or castelli “san remo” suit). Very snug (still aero) pockets for a bar/gel, easier to unzip for cooling on a long climb, and more comfortable than a skinsuit.

Are you going to give away “much”? Guess it depends on how you define “much”, honestly. You will definitely give away some watts…how much is very dependent on the individual and the fit of the clothing. If you are getting this primarily for crits, for me it would be a skinsuit, hands down.

Skinsuit for racing only. Aero and far more comfortable than bib jersey combination (N=1 Cuore) IMO should never be worn other than on the bike mid race or podium afterwards. Your local cafe customers don’t need to see how lean or otherwise you are. If your only buying one option, the bib and …

To be fair, almost all skinsuits these days have pockets…it is not just something on the hybrid suits. But those suits do make it much easier to pee…

what kind of skinsuit would you recommend primarily for zwift racing i’m assuming full skin suit, aero helmet and those little shrink wrap thingies that can go over your shoes to make em more aero
