Do you ever wear a skinsuit?

Nice try boys, but mine is more stylish,

@Solocle - that's a 'racesuit' aka a skinsuit with pockets.

Padding on your arms for when your stabilizers fall off?

 

[Drago]

Thats not padding. I ride so fast i need an ablative heat shield.

Only in a re-run. 😄

I don't know where folks are getting their skinsuits...

Mine has pockets, and was cheaper than getting the club jersey+bibshorts pair.
I've worn it on audaxes, and on my biggest trolling ride...

It’s a shame that Oxford is spelt backwards on your skin suit. Maybe why it was so cheap.

A few audaxes run from Girton. Women’s college from memory.

 

[tyred]

Absolutely not old chap. There's no collar for one's tie. Must have standards.

Welcome back we’ve missed your inane burst of questions. Where’ve you been quarantine on Venus?

I’ve been really busy picking strawberries, dancing with rhubarb leaves, painting my garden shed, building a 20ft fish tank, etc, etc.

I hope you’ve been keeping well on planet Jupiter.

Are skinsuits typically more expensive than a jersey and bib shorts?

In answer to the first question , no I would not wear a skinsuit, never have. The practical difficulties of comfort stops come to mind.

Skin suits tend to be more expensive as they more specialised. Generally for racing, time trials and triathlons.
Decent jerseys and shorts combos depending on the make will set you back £100-175 ish.
You could go for something from Rapha if you feel flush.

Assos jerseys are quite good value.

I think I paid about £58 for mine about 12 years ago
