Yes, but only if you´re the only one who´s wearing the suit. This seem to be so hard for most skinsuit fans to understand. It´s a relative competition. It won´t put you in a better position. And if it does, why would you want to win on "windy" coarses with such an obvious advantage, when you´re one of the few wearing it? That is "fuvkin retarded", my friends.the fact that world champs gets everyone into a skin suit says it all. when you want to win, you use every possible advantage that you have and a skin suit definitely helps.
BTW, skinsuit is not ideal for training purposes in DH, but it is for DH-skiing. I can see motoshorts coming from what you like to train in. Seriously, if you don´t crash and ride in muddy conditions, you´re not really doing this sport. And that is where the moto-pants/shorts is coming from.
I guess nobody switches between two different bikes for training and racing, eh?
But, I can understand the freedom of movement argument, especially if you have the "all over the bike" style.
