A properly fitted ski racing suit improves aerodynamics, comfort, and freedom of movement. Race suits are designed to fit much tighter than outerwear or training apparel. They should feel snug when new and gradually conform to your body after several days of use. Understanding how race suits fit and how stretch fabrics perform will help you choose the correct size and care for your suit throughout the season.

Quick Navigation: Proper Fit | Break-In Period | Race Suit Fabric | Care Tips

How a Race Suit Should Fit

Race suits are engineered to fit like a second skin. When sized correctly, a new suit will feel very snug and may require assistance pulling it over the shoulders the first few times it is worn.

  • The suit should fit closely without restricting movement.
  • Shoulders and torso will feel tight when the suit is new.
  • Legs and arms should remain smooth with minimal excess fabric.
  • The suit should allow a full range of skiing movements while maintaining a close aerodynamic fit.
  • Wrinkles or loose fabric generally indicate the suit is too large.
Race Place Tip: Do not size up simply because a new race suit feels tight. High-performance stretch fabrics relax after several uses and conform to the athlete's body. A suit that feels comfortable immediately often becomes too loose after the break-in period.

Race Suit Break-In Period

Modern race suits use highly elastic fabrics that gradually relax with use. During the first several training days, the material molds to the athlete's body while maintaining compression and freedom of movement.

  • Expect the first few fittings to feel exceptionally snug.
  • The fabric will gradually stretch to match your body shape.
  • A properly sized suit becomes noticeably more comfortable after several uses.
  • Oversized suits reduce aerodynamic performance and may allow protective padding to shift during racing.

Race Suit Fabric Characteristics

Race suits are constructed from lightweight, highly elastic knit fabrics that prioritize stretch, mobility, and aerodynamic performance. These technical materials differ significantly from traditional woven outerwear fabrics.

  • Stretch fabrics are lightweight and highly flexible but are less abrasion resistant than woven materials.
  • Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces such as Velcro whenever possible.
  • Printed graphics are applied to the surface of a white base fabric, so slight whitening may appear in areas of heavy stretch.
  • Minor pilling, gate burns, edge cuts, and general wear are normal signs of regular race use.

Race Suit Care Tips

  • Fasten all Velcro before transporting or storing your race suit.
  • Avoid contact with sharp ski edges, boot buckles, and rough surfaces.
  • Wash according to the manufacturer's instructions using mild detergent.
  • Allow the suit to air dry and avoid excessive heat.
  • Inspect high-wear areas periodically for cuts or damage after training and racing.

Race Place Fit Notes

  • Race suits are intentionally much tighter than jackets or training apparel.
  • The best-fitting race suit is typically snug when new and becomes more comfortable after several uses.
  • Minor cosmetic wear is a normal characteristic of high-performance stretch fabrics.
  • Proper sizing improves aerodynamics, comfort, and the effectiveness of integrated protective padding.

Description & Features

The POC Junior Skin GS Suit is a ski racing speed suit built for junior alpine racers, combining durable construction with integrated padding for gate training and race day. Its highly durable fabric helps minimize snagging and pilling caused by the Velcro fastenings on shin and forearm guards, helping the suit withstand repeated use throughout the race season. The close race fit gives young racers the freedom of movement they need through turns and in the tuck position.

Protective padding is integrated into the arms, hips and legs to complement hardshell race protection and improve comfort during gate contact. The POC Junior Skin GS Suit is shaped to accommodate POC VPD back protectors and base layers. Grippers at the lower leg openings and extended sleeves with thumbholes help keep the suit securely positioned, while a DWR treatment provides resistance to light snow and rain.

Construction & Technology

Durable Race Fabric

The POC Junior Skin GS Suit uses highly durable fabric designed to minimize snagging and pilling from the Velcro fastenings commonly used on shin and forearm guards. This added durability helps the suit stand up to repeated use during gate training and racing.

Integrated Protective Padding

Padding at the arms, hips and legs complements external hardshell race protectors while adding comfort during gate contact. Integrating the padding directly into the suit helps keep it properly positioned as the racer moves through the course.

POC Protection Compatibility

The suit is shaped to work with POC race protection worn underneath, including VPD back protectors and the VPD Air Comp Jacket. POC Resistance Layer JR and Base Armor JR protective base layers can also be worn beneath the suit to enhance laceration protection.

Secure Race Fit

Grippers around the lower leg openings help prevent the suit from riding up, while extended sleeves with thumbholes help keep the arms securely positioned. These details help maintain a consistent fit through warm-ups, course inspection, gate training and race runs.

DWR Treatment

A durable water-repellent treatment helps shed light snow and rain, providing useful weather resistance during training, course inspection and time spent waiting at the start.
