How to Put on a Fastskin

Speedo's line of Fastskin suits are designed to be used in triathlon and swimming arenas. These suits are hydrophobic and borrow from shark skin hydrodynamics. The suits have micro-scales going in one direction that provide the wearer with better movement through the water. Getting this skin-tight suits on is much the same as putting on wetsuits or other swimming gear.
