Condoms are a pretty useful thing aren’t they? They come in all shapes and sizes, colours and flavours—oh, and they also help in preventing some unwanted gifts that would otherwise change your life forever. As it turns out they’re pretty good for making sports performance apparel as well.

Leave it to the Dutch to come up with a such a fascinating concept as designer Pauline van Dongen’s sports performance jumpsuit is made entirely of out of condom material. Yes, you read that right. Using the contraceptive brand SKYN, the ultra-soft and thin material allows the wearer to feel every movement whilst limiting body restrictions and adds extra hang time, something to keep in mind for basketball players, long jumpers and pole vaulters. Tiny laser-cut flaps are also featured on the edges of the suits limbs to help give athletes an extra advantage.

Although the suit is a concept/prototype don’t be shocked if you see these appear at major sporting events in the near future (alongside actual condom endorsements). Check out the video above for a look at the intricate design process that went into creating the suit.
