Jumpsuit

Jumpsuit is a piece of clothing, originally referred to the functional one-piece garments used by parachuters/skydivers. More recently, it has come to be used as a common term for any one-piece garment with sleeves and legs.

The original skydivers' jumpsuits were simple garments designed to insulate the body from the cold of high altitudes and minimize risk of covering important handles and grips. Today, however, the garment has found other uses.

Pilots and drivers

Aviators and astronauts, who sometimes wear insulated, fire-retardant jumpsuits or flight suits where other types of clothing can potentially float or flap about in zero gravity or during high-G maneuvers.

Drivers in motor racing, who wear jumpsuits for protection against fire and (in the case of motorcycle racers) leather suits for abrasion.

Sportspersons

Skiers, who wear insulated jumpsuits or ski suits to protect themselves from cold (especially after falling or tumbling in snow).

Competitive skiers and speed skaters, who wear skin-tight jumpsuits to provide freedom of movement while minimising air resistance.

Jumpsuit (band)

Jumpsuit is the name of an American rock and roll band from Chicago, Illinois. Together since the late 1970s when they were little more than casio and tambourine street performers, Jumpsuit has gone on to release several 7-inch singles throughout the 90s and 2000s, as well as a full-length compact disc in 2005. Jumpsuit also stars in a television cartoon series that relates their trials and tribulations that come as a result of discovering a time machine. In the series, the members of Jumpsuit attempt to use their time machine to right past wrongs and regrets in their lives; however they are usually foiled by mechanical doppelgängers that follow them through the fourth dimension. Jumpsuit's live rock shows are often presented as live-action recreations of events from the cartoon. Their most recent TV appearance on Chic-A-Go-Go brought out a new generation of fans, many still in diapers.
