One piece skinsuit used for road races. If you have 45 riders contesting races like the Fleche Wallone, a one piece ain't gonna make a difference. The look is just awkward.
You could say the same about any potential aero gain though.

They are pretty comfortable though due to the lack of straps, provided you can find one that fits well. They are very unforgiving with any excess of body fat though, there's no argument against that.

I think skinsuits are great, even for non racing., as long as they have pockets. less fussy, nothing to coordinate etc. But they don't hide fat rolls.

Having to hear a recurrent answer when I walk into some FL "Fancy" bike shop and ask if they have a mechanic that is knowledgeable about Campagnolo: "They are going out of business this year. Here, we have some Shimano we can sell you".

I second that, but add family for me as well. I have a 17 y.o. son driving me to drink professionally for the last 3 years, so it should make senseImageImageImage
In my case it's a 15YO Daughter. :( :(
