The most substantial change, of course, is that suits would no longer be allowed to extend past the knee.
My personal opinion is this is sort of an arbitrary change. What really should be changed--if anything--is what types of materials are allowed and maybe testing protocol to approve a suit. I don't really think requiring suits to end at the knees would affect much.
Is there something about below the knee that makes suits faster, slower, etc? I don't really understand this, to be honest.
I don't, either. If they really wanted to do something significant they should have proposed that men's suits cannot cover the navel or go below the knees.
