It was incredibly difficult to get these suits to work right for world-class athletes. If you look at some of these athletes' arms, they look like someone has just taken a baseball bat to them. |
The fabric that we selected has a smooth surface, with a silver thread on the backing. That thread is knit in a specific geometric pattern, so when the suit is worn, you have very even distribution of the pattern. |
We looked at things like how the skin of a shark works, and at golf balls and how dimpling may affect aerodynamics. |
