I stumbled upon this pic on lange's instagram and it sent me down a rabbit hole of figuring out what the hell is up with the loose suit this guy is wearing.
turns out he is a ski cross competitor, I don't really follow ski cross but I remembered they had some strict rules about attire and banning tight fitting clothes and that the uniform had to be two pieces and explicitly bans gs/dh suits.
FIS rules:
So I'm guessing the oversized suit is to get around the loose fitting requirement, but it's still a one piece race suit that should not be allowed according to the above. I just pulled that from the FIS site, is that outdated or just not being enforced?
Looking at the fis ski cross section seems like half that ski cross guys are wearing these xxl race suits now
