Default addendum...

David Jacobs, founder of the Spyder racing ski suit company, apparently holds the patent on SpeedWyre. I've never seen it but is a series of raised seams on arms and legs and makes the wearer so aerodynamic that there is a wind-drag reduction of 20% (I have also read 40%, so who do you believe?).

LOL - rather amusing that there is a swimming jammer/bodysuit connection there also - the FIS banned them as giving unfair advantage to some competitors.
