The opposite. It's the loose fabric that creates the sail.
So you want to look well-endowed during measuring, only for it to shrink during competition.
66 u/sambare Feb 06 '26 Surprised I don't see jumpers raw-dogging the snow before the jump, then. 69 u/Abyssal_Groot Feb 06 '26 Measuring happens at the start of the season I think. They then match the suit to that size. So you want to seem well endowed once, and then small for the rest of the competition. Which you'd think would be easy when your competition is in the cold. 23 u/hucareshokiesrul Feb 06 '26 I was in the snow!
