Description
Our goal is to deliver custom designed skinsuits in professional quality.
owayo skinsuits are manufactured with highly functional and elastic material. The material over the chamois/padding area is a durable and wear-resistant fabric. The suit has been constructed to have minimal seams in areas of critical movement. The chamois itself is dual-elastic; meaning it stretches in two directions. The thigh seam is equipped with a rubber leg-gripper. Underarm ventilation enables additional flex, comfort, and cooling.
The fit of the skinsuit has been developed especially for the aero-position, typical for time-trialing and velodrome riding (head low to handle-bars). The back panel is cut longer and wider whereby the front is shorter and narrower. When standing up while wearing the skinsuit, you will notice that the skinsuit is short in the front and pulls down. Therefore it is important to sit on your bike in the aero-position when trying on our skinsuit to determine your size. The suit has raglan-cut sleeves for maximum freedom of movement in the shoulder and arm areas.
We purchase our fabric from only the highest acclaimed European manufacturers and suppliers. Each fabric is individually selected to maximise comfort and durability and is moisture wicking to ensures quick moisture dispersal and optimal temperature regulation.
Our skinsuits are sewn using ‘Overlock’ seams. The general construction of the skinsuits has given special attention to minimize the number of seams in areas of critical movement: inner thighs, and seat area.
The thread itself is made from a tear-resistant and elastic fibre; Made in Germany. The thread stretches with the material making the shorts even more durable and robust.
No doubt about it; padding is an important component to a skinsuit. We use only the highest quality pads in our skinsuits. They are made from a multi-density foam, with a 3D-elasticity. The various foam densities create optimal absorption and added strength; the light elasticity enables the pad to stretch in any direction, allowing the skinsuit to move easily with the riders movement.
It is also relatively easy to determine what size you need via your chest and seat circumference measurements. You can compare your chest circumference to value A on our online chart. The chest circumference is the widest part of the chest at normal breathing in the standing position. The tape measure should run over the shoulder blades, under the arm pits, and over the chest.
The widest section around your waist is considered the seat which you will need to measure in order to figure out what size you require if you don’t order samples. You should measure yourself without baggy clothes on and being sure not to pull too tightly on tape measure. Then compare this measurement with value B on our sizing chart.
If the values of both A and B are different, use the larger measurement to choose your size.
