Kneeskin
*** Shopping-Tip: Kneeskin
A '''kneeskin''' is a type of
competitive swimwear worn by both male and female athletes. Kneeskins are normally made of technologically advanced
lycra-based fabrics designed to hug the body tightly and provide increased speed and decreased
Drag (physics) drag resistance in the water.
The kneeskin is similar in design to the full
bodyskin absent the leggings beyond the knee. It also resembles a "shortie" style
wetsuit only made of drag-reducing fabric instead of
neoprene and commonly features a zippered back. Most competitive swimwear brands such as the
Speedo Fastskin line and Tyr produce suits of this type. As with most technologically advanced fabric swimwear, kneeskin suits are only commonly used at highly competitive levels of the swimming sport and are known to sell for prices
in excess of
United States dollar US$200.
