Not sure what Skins™ are? Here is some of their product information:
What are Skins™ and how do they work?
Skins™ is body-molded gradient compression performance equipment with built-in BioAcceleration Technology™ which will enhance your performance in training, competition and recovery. When compression is engineered to apply a balanced and accurate surface pressure over specific body parts, it triggers an acceleration of blood flow. This increases oxygen delivery to working muscles to enhance their performance. The circulation improvements also help the body to eliminate lactic acid and other metabolic wastes. The combination of these effects allows you to work at a higher rate for longer.
The improved oxygenation is most marked in recovery from exercise. As a result, muscle repair is accelerated, with a greater effect if your Skins™ are worn for longer, The best effects on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which can last for more than 48 hours, are seen after 8 hours during which time pain, muscle weakness and alertness are dramatically improved.
Benefits include:
• reducing lactic acid build-up, increasing muscle oxygenation and enhancing circulation;
• focusing muscle power;
• drawing moisture away from the skin;
• optimizing body temperature in warm or cool conditions;
• preventing odor through antibacterial treatments;
• providing sun safety with 50+ UV protection.
In addition to providing first rate sporting benefits, the increased oxygenation and circulation provided by Skins™ is also an excellent means of relieving many medical complaints including arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, lymph edema, varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It is also effective in promoting circulation during pregnancy.
The Skins™ range of product includes:
• long tights
• half tights
• shorts
• capri tights and shorts for women
• tops – long sleeve, short sleeve, sleeveless and a tank for women
• powersox™
• powersleeves
