skinsuits
Full-body cycling wear
Skinsuits are form-fitting garments that cover most of the body, worn in cycling, speed skating, and other sports where aerodynamics matter.
The tight fit reduces drag: The team unveiled their new skinsuits for the time trial.
In science fiction, a skinsuit may be a minimal spacesuit or survival garment.
Metaphorically, skinsuit sometimes describes assuming another's identity or persona—as if wearing their skin.
