Default another mystery

No - never heard of Jaked but saw reference in a press report
to an Italian manufacturer and then tracked them down to Gallarate, province of Varese, in the Lombardy region, of the far north of Italy.
Here is a link (if you can work your way around a very disfunctional website):
http://www.jaked.it/resorse/file/competition%20new.pdg

The brand seems to be listed many times with UK swimwear suppliers but looks as if their main product is jammers.
They had previously produced a red bodysuit in 100% polyurethane (now banned in competition)
and a very short vid. of a German guy in one is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRo0uZP-WYM

As for the pic of the "diver" it is in monochrome but the suit could well be carrying the tricolore of Italy. Cannot agree it being a good fit however - certainly not comparable to Tom Daley in a Team GB blue Speedo.
