Uh, that wasn't exactly what I said. However, as Michael Heather recently reminded us, USMS makes its own rules.
I think Geek said it best -- this would eliminate the cool gear element of the sport. If expense is a concern, regulate coverage and material at the age group level. I don't see the need for a total ban.
USMS does make it's own rules, but surely if USMS is the only hold-out then there will be very limited quantities available and then it does become a fairness issue for USMS.
I am just joking about therapy and competitive edge. Can't someone have some fun poking at you tech suit addicts? I am sure everyone will handle slower times well.
I see Geek's point somewhat, but I have really never considered tech suits a "cool gear element". I cycle a bit and cycling has a lot cooler stuff and it is by definition a sport that is defined by technology. It is also a sport that isn't defined by world records. I don't get the analogy.
