As a side note would there be any issue with me wearing what I’m wearing in my avatar for a PL meet as my singlet? It’s a rowing unisuit and only has my team emblem on it very small in the upper right chest. Anyone know if that would meet USAPL standards?[/quote]
A lifting costume must be worn and shall be of a one-piece full length lifting suit of one-ply stretch material without any patches, padding or division into panels by means of seams not necessary in the manufacture of the costume. Any seams, false or otherwise, that in the opinion of the Technical Committee, Jury, or in their absence the referees are incorporated into the costume purely as a form of reinforcement or bracing, shall invalidate the costume from being used in the competition. The costume must be form fitting without any looseness when worn by the lifter. The straps must be worn over the shoulders at all times while lifting in competition.
It may be of any color or colors.
The lifting suit may bear the badge, emblem, logo and/or inscription of the lifterâ??s national or local level association, his/her USAPL registered club or sponsor, or his/her USAPL Regional / State logo. That which is offensive or liable to bring the sport into disrepute is not allowed. The lifterâ??s name may be placed on the costume, or on any item of personal apparel.
Seams and hems must not exceed 3 cm in width and 0.5 cm in thickness. Only non-supportive singlet suits may have seams and hems exceeding 3 cm in width. The non-supportive singlet may also have a double thickness of the same material size 12 cm x 24 cm in the area of the crotch.
Seams may be protected or strengthened by narrow gauge webbing or stretch material not exceeding 2 cm in width and 0.5 cm in thickness.
It must have legs. Non supportive costumes may have leg length to a maximum of 25 cm.
