FAQ
Is a SYNC adult GS/downhill race suit FIS legal?
Yes. All styles listed above are FIS legal. Each meets current FIS regulations (FIS Specifications CS 2015), passes the 30 ml air permeability test, and has a certified FIS logo printed on the left leg.
How do I know a race suit is FIS legal?
Look for the FIS logo printed on the back of the left leg. Suits with the older metal plomb are no longer accepted at FIS races.
Are SYNC junior race suits FIS certified?
No. Junior race suits are focused on durability, and not being FIS certified also lowers the cost for those athletes. The rule is simple: if you are racing in a FIS race, you must wear a FIS-approved suit. If you are not racing in a FIS race, you do not need one.
How should a GS race suit fit?
Sizing depends more on height and torso length than on weight, so choose your size based on those. Suits feel tight when new and relax with wear. See our Race Suit Fit Guide for the size chart.
