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.

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.
And I disagree with this one. I don't think they should limit men's suit coverage to just the knee to the waist. I like the suits that cover the upper body to the shoulders and down to the ankles.
The significant change,as a number of people have said, should be in the material used to design the suits...it shouldn't be in the amount they over.
Early jammers covered the upper body, as did the early fastskins. Dont' change that...change the material used.
