WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT SKINS
‘These compression tights are very good. As advertised, they have for me reduced muscle oscillation during intensive exercise. This has made my running experience more enjoyable allowing longer endurance running possible. I would highly recommend the SKINS product.’
‘They are very tight to get on, but once they are on they are incredibly warm. It really does support leg muscles, so that it helps me exercise and not get cramps or fatigued early.’
‘Fits well. It’s tight and comfortable. Does what it’s meant to do. Good relaxation because of the compression.’

FAQS
WHAT IS GRADIENT COMPRESSION AND HOW DO SKINS WORK?
The body adopts a venous blood system delivering oxygenated blood to the muscles and returning used blood to the heart. The veins returning used blood to the heart sit closer to the skin’s surface; this is why you sometimes see ‘blue’ or dark veins near the surface.
Pressure
SKINS compression applies pressure to these ‘blue’ veins accelerating the blood flow back to the heart. SKINS pioneered engineered gradient compression following years of research. When you apply compression to specific body parts in a balanced and accurate way, it accelerates blood flow. This means you get more oxygen to your working muscles – boosting your performance.
Better blood flow also helps your body to get rid of lactic acid and other metabolic wastes – which helps you work at a higher rate for longer. Plus, improved oxygenation reduces the effects of delayed onset muscle soreness and accelerates muscle repair. SKINS engineered gradient compression plays a big part in helping you recover from exercise too.

WHY ARE SKINS DIFFERENT TO OTHER COMPRESSION SPORTSWEAR BRANDS?
SKINS are different because their unique combination of features works better than any single component. Plus, their benefits are backed by independent testing and research – something that no other compression and therapeutic sportswear manufacturer can boast. You can discover these journals here.
SKINS benefits include:
- Less lactic acid build-up, more muscle oxygenation – and better circulation
- More muscle power
- Wicking – to draw moisture away from the skin
- Temperature control, whether it’s hot or cold
- 50+ UV protection
IS THERE ANY PROOF THAT SKINS WORK?
The performance, recovery and lifestyle benefits of SKINS have all been independently researched and published in peer-review journals. The scientific community holds this type of product testing as the highest standard. In fact, SKINS leads the industry with peer review journal publications.
Research results show that SKINS vastly reduces the build-up of lactic acid immediately after periods of sustained exercise. This allows for a more rapid return to normal levels and minimises delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
