...front with two thin stripes running from the inside of the back down the sides of the legs. These panels are made with a polyurethane coating, designed to eliminate drag. TYR spent more than three years working on the suit. The focus of its research, according to Matt Zimmer, promotions director, was the lightweight, water-repellent fabric and muscle contour compression. The idea behind the compression is two-fold: first of all it provides a barrier between water and skin, reducing what has come to be known as the "jiggle" effect. Second, it keeps blood flow in the body core...
...bisexual and transgender rights, is backing Fitz-Gerald because of her long history of LGBT support. The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, on the other hand, is supporting Polis.
