There's no rule that specifically state that you can't unzip. The rule is that you must have clothing covering your upper body, covering down to below the nipple line. This is for men and women. Maybe the rule exists to save Americans from Euro racers :)
The one pro triathlete that pushes this rule to the limit is Faris Al-Sultan. You can Google him up to see his wardrobe :)
Or running half naked (even though the race was broadcasted on TV and it was mentioned that even unzipping much wasn't allowed).
As a non-triathlete, forgive my ignorance, but what was the rule against "unzipping" and why is there such a rule? If it's hot out, you can't unzip to cool off?
