The Skin GS speed suit has been updated for 2020 to be constructed entirely from a new fabric with enhanced durability, to minimize snagging and piling damage from Velcro fastenings on shin and forearm protectors. The new, more durable, fabric conforms to FIS regulations and can be used in FIS-sanctioned competition. Protectors are built into the skin suit on the arms, hips and legs. Further protection can be worn underneath, as the skin suit is shaped to work seamlessly with a POC VPD back protector or the VPD Air Comp Jacket. Both the Resistance Layer and Base Armor protective base layers with Dyneema are designed to fit under the Skin GS to enhance protection from lacerations. Grippers at the lower leg openings and longer sleeves with thumbholes work to keep the suit in place as the body moves.
