Default downhill and ski jump

Different I would say - and the prices reflect this as they are not just any old Lycra. From what little I know they are skintight all over the body and of absolute minimal fabric thickness and weight (and leave you cold if the sun isn't shining at the event).
Just as Lzer, sharkskin and the like are technically superior for swimmers in water the object here is anti-wind resistance to give an extra fraction of a second on speed. The Spyder shown has "x static silver fiber technology". In common parlance I would simply say shiny stretch Lycra - but as this is apparently the copyright of Artechski.com have you tried a question to them to explain what they have achieved (eg windtunnel tests etc.) and how ?
