zipper is often made very long so

that the cyclist can open up the

jersey to allow for ventilation The

cycling jersey is usually worn with

a tight fit in order to reduce air

resistance J erseys are made from

a material designed to wick

moisture from the skin, keeping

the cyclist cooler and more

A leotard is a unisex

skin-tight one-piece

garment that covers the torso but leaves the legs free It was made famous

by the French acrobatic performer J ules Léotard (1838–1870).

Leotards are worn by acrobats,

gymnasts, dancers, figure

skaters, athletes, actors, and

circus performers both as

practice garments and

performance costumes They

are often worn together with

ballet skirts on top and tights

or sometimes bike shorts as

underwear There are

sleeveless, short-sleeved and

long-sleeved leotards

A unitard is a skin-tight

one-piece garment with long legs

and sometimes long sleeves,

usually stopping at the wrists

and ankles It differs from a

leotard in that a leotard does not have long legs The garment

can be considered to be a

combination of a leotard and

tights

The unitard is basically the

wrestling singlet minus the tights, although some wrestlers do

prefer to wear the tights in order

to further accentuate their uniform and codpiece.

Unitards are worn by acrobats, gymnasts, dancers, equestrian vaulters, athletes, circus

performers, amateur wrestlers

and superheroes, as well as

others who require overall body coverage without impeding

flexibility.
