skinsuit
Tight racing garment
A skinsuit is a form-fitting one-piece garment that covers the torso and limbs, worn by cyclists, speed skaters, and other athletes to reduce air resistance.
The tight, aerodynamic design eliminates loose fabric that might create drag.
In science fiction and horror contexts, skinsuit refers to a disguise made from another person's skin, or metaphorically to any false identity someone wears to pass as something they're not: The politician's folksy persona was just a skinsuit for his corporate interests.
