Skinsuits are far more skin tight (obvs.) than a even normal jersey/bib race kit. The times i have ridden to HHV in mine, i found it to be pretty uncomfortable.

You need to pedal harder. By the time you're breathing out your arse you'll not notice the uncomfortable skinsuit.

Not something like a Castelli San Remo. That's the same size as a pair of Castelli shorts and a Castelli jersey in the same size as the San Remo skinsuit. As @nathwilson22 says, the only difference is that they're sewn together (and the shorts don't have bib straps) rather than being separate. I like my San Remos. Makes going for a wee much easier.

You're right that racing isn't commuting/sportive, but a skinsuit is really just a Jersey and Bibs combined, people have no problem riding around in two separate items but there's a huge stigma around the one-piece!
I don't understand why, I get the same nagging doubt even when putting one on to get muddy.
