this Forum won’t allow me to post a URL - apparently you need to have posted 10 times before you get such privilege!! ....go figure!
Anyway, you need to google “Cycling Weekly Speedsuit review” - an excellent analytical comparison in the UK publication “Cycling Weekly” of the most popular suits published at end 2017.
I was shocked when I read this article. I had been using a Santini long sleeved speedsuit and thought it fitted me well, so it must be fast. Never thought there could be really much speed difffernce from one well fitted suit to another.
Oh how wrong I clearly was!!!

take any speedsuit data with a BIG grain of salt. I've tested a good number of suits (and quite a few in the tunnel) and all bets are off if I was guessing for one specific person. I've seen cheapo team issue skinsuits test well, and I have a couple of VERY high end suits that were worse than club suits.
The only suit I've seen always do great (but not always best) when tested was the NIKE... that suit was way ahead of it's time.
If you had the resources, my gut tells me that the custom CFD trip suit tailored to you specifically would be hard to beat...but that's just my hunch. Otherwise, a lot of it is guessing. (I do wonder what happens if you buy an off the shelf suit with speed panels/trips/etc and they don't fit the contour of your body/position well... I assume it's not a good thing!)

BioRacer's US distributor is in FL, I think.
BELGIUMBIKE
I have not bought anything from them. But one of their reps was really responsive via email. So, this isn't an endorsement. Just passing info along.

Or try Nopinz in the UK - they stock and sell Bioracer suits - always great service, I would expect that they would be happy to ship anywhere
