I will need to find some clen ,like Mick, to shed the weight. where can I find me sum con-tam-I-nated cow?
Funny, I actually gave up sweets today cuz I appear to be way overeating. Given the amount of kj I expend I can't see how weight keeps creeping up, and I am not doing penance riding.
That is the long answer, in the event I were to get one when available, I would need to be lighter, 15 lbs lighter.
Short answer is yes..........

15 watts saved from one speed suit to another? I call bullshit.

STOP IT...
I want to believe! :(
The entire event (IM) is like "death by 1000 cuts" and the best race is minimizing all those cuts and losing less blood than the other guy. - Dev

I'd gladly pay $300 to gain 15 watts.

you can see the sleeve material is different, ie textured on the upper arm where it needs to be and not on lower arm

I just looked at the brochure. They are claiming 28 watts over the "baseline" which is their most basic jersey. DOUBLE BULLSHIT.
Re: Bodypaint 3.0 Speedsuit [TH3_FRB]
[ In reply to ]
what are you feeling that 28 should be?
I've seen the bp2.0 save a handful+ watts over another ss

No idea but that would be like a 10% bump to my FTP for just putting on a speed suit. I'm not familiar with any testing data on clothes but I know some peo teams have looked into it. Hard to believe that kind of sabings is realistic though.

So is the stealth T1 top the best? I mean it has longer sleeves, would it be better than the Sanremo 3.0 Suit for Tri...

Myself... I need a new bike top for longer Tris. I like running and riding in my tri shorts and like running in a run singlet... so n=1... love the stealth over sanremo.
Re: Bodypaint 3.0 Speedsuit [BrentwoodTriGuy]

I'm comfortable in both, it looks like the sanremo suit is 24 watts, and the aero 5.0 jersey is 20w....what does the stealth top equate too?

I've seen the difference between a regular S/S skinsuit and a jersey be ~20watts in the windtunnel before at 48kph. I'm not sure I trust the 15watts over the SS 2.0 unless it was a shortsleeve vs. Longsleeve. Even that seems off when you look at the previous graph. Essentially an aero-jersey is the same as the speed suit 2.0. It is of course all speculation since we don't know all the details of the testing.

previous version did not have any textured material. new version does, I suspect the new jersey has texture as well. both are LS

Now that race season has started again, has anyone had a chance the try out the 3.0 yet? Any field testing or PRs?
