Suits
At a high level what's the advantage of these Mondrian x Harlequin suits?
Other than meaning you don't need a second outfit for your Tekkno set in the evening.

Sorry for GQ. They are heavy and stiff, and stop you wobbling so much.

Wow. Even the guns are high camp on their own, before you even contemplate the outfit and the stance. It’s just so fabulous. The NRA must hate this

Suits at 3 position rifle are, unfortunately, one of the major advantages, and teams are always trying to find ways around the rules, and the rules are constantly changing. A decent suit often costs more than the rifle and is a significant barrier to taking up the sport. In Europe there are plenty of second-hand suits floating around, but in the UK not so. 50m prone rifle is not an olympic sport - and you get less help from the suit, so at international meetings it's still possible to see people shooting in the same jacket they've worn for 20 years.
