I listened to the previous podcast on aero gains and there seems to be a consensus with most people in the industry that the one of the best aero gains come from a skin suit. What are some recommendations for skin suits that don’t leave our wallets empty buy provide an advantage over a two piece?

[image] Pro-1 Road Skinsuit Men's - Azure - Nopinz A suit with multiple Grand Tour stage winning pedigree it’s comfortable but above all, it’s FAST. Speedscalez™ for the shorts and our ‘Pista’ fabric on the arms make it super-slippy, while massively breathable ‘Chrono’ fabric on the tors…

The NoPinz looks good. Now I’m curious about sizing. And this applies to all skin suits. Chest, waist, and hips measurements put me in a M. Height and weight put me at XL. I wear M bibs in just about every brand. Is my height/weight going to mess the sizing up? I guess I could try to split the diffe…

I wear an XL in NoPinz and I’m 6’2" (188cm) and 210lb (94kg), if that helps at all. It runs about a size larger than other brands for me. I wear L in Rapha, Velocio, Jakroo, etc.

[image] RJones07: XL in NoPinz and I’m 6’2" (188cm) and 210lb (94kg), I’m 189cm and weigh 85kg. So maybe a L would be the way to go. I don’t want a baggy fit.

The black with fluoro lettering doesn’t bother me too much since it’s not too much bright and pretty subtle otherwise. But I agree that the designs in the other styles are pretty shit. Pactimo is one of the last brands I would go to if I was looking for a stylish kit.

I’m having a hard time getting a good size… how should they fit? I bought a M and L to try both and send back for my team kit order (recommendation from the pactimo rep). I’m 6’0 and 180lbs, but I’ve got like a 42” chest. The medium feels like a second skin with the biggest issue being lateral stre…

Sounds like medium to me. I’ve found the right size is always a little tricky to put on, and can feel a bit tight initially and when standing up, but if you can do the zipper up and there’s nothing actually cutting off blood flow then I think once you get on the bike and start pedaling it will soon …

If there are no restrictions from the team, i would choose drag2zero from Endura 8 watts saving. Aruond 300 euro

Hard to beat the price but man, those are the worst color/designs. Even the only all black has fluoro lettering.
