I had a look at all the ski wear designs around this year from the different teams ... interesting new designs.
Ski Race suits are really super suits , when you consider what velocity they travel up to in downhill races and the tests they have to undergo within the FIS rules . They are actually tested after the race by officials for porosity after the downhill races. If the suit does not comply within the parameters you run is not counted.
Finding the right suit that protects you and makes you aerodynamic within the rules to capture the 0.01 seconds of advantage. Its worth doing a little homework as not all suits are the same . Different fabric , garment construction all play a part . I like the suits by Descente and by Spyder .
I have designed both suits for all Alpine events from Slalom to Super G .Produced bespoke made to measure service for GB Snowsport making suits for individuals such as Chemmy Alcott, Alan Baxter and Finlay Mickel . I have designed & developed suits Winter Olympics Turin 2006 and Vancouver 2010 , World Cahmpionships as well as the World Cup series . Last year on a British Airways flight I was flicking through the in flight magazine and there was the suit I designed .
