What are the short, tight black bib tops worn in training for and why do only a few people wear them at a time?

Heart rate monitor's I believe.

I think they have some form of tracker in them as well to see how fast and how far they are running.

Thanks guys. I wondered whether they had some sort of GPS/ tracking but I don't understand why only one or two wear them at a time. must be too expensive :-)

GPRS it is! I used them at St Helens rugby league whilst at uni doing Sports Science. The amount of info from them is a lot and takes hours to break down and analyse, as it coincides with other variables (heart rate sometimes being one of them) hence why only a few players wear them at a time!
