Speedsuit

A speedsuit is an item of unisex exercise attire. It consists of a single piece of clothing which tightly fits the torso and, optionally, varying amounts of the arms and legs; overall, it is similar to a leotard, though intentionally made especially tight and constricting to hug the body for varying purposes of warmth (when used in snowboarding or skiing) and hydrodynamics (when used in swimming and other water sports).

In popular culture

A running gag in the Venture Bros. episode Hate Floats is that Dr. Venture wants to buy his son a speed suit for his birthday; in what is either a visual gag or a faux pas on behalf of the creators, the article of clothing featured in the episode is in actuality an indefinable item of clothing which is either a short-sleeved jumpsuit or some sort of boiler suit modified to separate into two pieces. Another gag in the episode revolves around Dr. Venture's comedic assertion that speedsuits are meant to be worn with the crotch tailored so that it hangs six inches below the bottom of the natural inseam. Superscientists (such as Dr. Venture) do not have time to choose each day's clothing, so the use of a uniform that is simple to put on and take off is vitally important.
