A small company from Poland came up with a cycling jersey called Muscleskinsuit and it makes you look, as the title suggests, like a completely skinless human being. The idea was born in the head of Tomasz Pietek.
“Once upon a time I saw Mario Cipollini in a similar suit with muscles and I really liked the idea. I wanted to buy something like this but I couldn&#;t find anything close to this suit so I decided to use my own skills to design a cycling suit with muscle print,” Tomasz told us.
The opinions on Muscleskinsuit vary from awe to disgust, but one thing is for sure &#; everybody seems to react to it. One way or another, as Tomek soon found out.
“Once I took part in a XC competition and one of my rivals pretended to bite my thigh explaining that he likes the taste of flesh.”
What is your reaction to this unusual cycling jersey? Would you be willing to wear one?
The Polish manufacturer already produces a different X-Ray styled long suit and is planning on adding new graphic designs related to the anatomy theme, so we’re really curious about what they will come up with. Any ideas, guys?
