If the stickers are applied properly, which I assume thet will be, they can be made to follow the contours of the dimples. Mine do...

Dimples :roll: :lol: . They've started have them on some skinsuits claiming ridiculous time gains, particular codswallop as you stick a number over the top.

I watched a program last night which was talking about the dimples.

They dont have them all over the suit or top, just on the particular points such as the Bicep as this reduces the drag when you go through the air.

I thought it was codswallop too but they have proven that this works in windtunnels & they do it with golf balls. I suupose that the speed and distance these guys cover even a small change is worth the benefit
