looking to buy a skinsuit for doing the local TT's.

anyone recommend any are pretty plain styled, do the job and don't cost a fortune?

    Doesn't your club do skinsuits ?

    I had the first version until it was torn in a confrontation with a car. Did the job nicely.

    I got this rather than a club one as I wasn't sure whether I was moving area.

    that looks perfect to be honest, what is the sizing like? that's one thing I'm worried about :lol:

    I'm 6ft and 72KG - bought a medium, was a good fit, not supertight but tight enough, arms were a little long for me but as I said that was the first version so this may have changed.

    I reckon I could have gone with the small but I would have needed help to get in and out of it :)

    What is your idea of a fortune?
    Endura have a 300+
    Castelli have one at 140 /180

    Last one I ripped was replaced with a castelli speedsuit, but then I rarely TT and my track times don't need aero help, just a new engine

    to be honest 70-140 is the price range I'm looking at, just wondering how good the castelli one is for a TT? and is it the Velocissimo speed suit you are referring to? As I thought that was just a jersey/short combo but sewn into one?

    That's actually really good value if it's still £72.
