What Is Compression, Really?
Compression wear is designed to apply targeted pressure to your muscles, improving blood flow, oxygen delivery, and support during activity. The result?
- Improved performance while training or competing
- Reduced muscle fatigue and soreness post-workout
- Enhanced recovery so you can go again, sooner
Unlike regular tights or shorts, SKINS are engineered with graduated compression technology—meaning the tightness changes across your body to maximise circulation where you need it most.
The SKINS Series Explained
Not all compression is the same. SKINS has a tiered system designed for every level of athlete:
- Series-1: Entry-level compression. Perfect if you’re new to compression or looking for light support during everyday training, gym sessions, or recovery days.
- Series-3: Advanced compression. Designed for regular trainers and weekend warriors who want extra performance and recovery benefits.
- Series-5: Elite-level compression. Built for athletes pushing their limits with intense training and competition.
Where to Start: Your First SKINS Piece
If you’ve never tried compression before, here are the best starting points:
- Tights: Great for full-leg support, running, gym work, or long flights.
- Half Tights: Perfect for speed sessions, team sports, or when you want more freedom of movement.
- Tops: Support your upper body during lifting, running, or high-intensity workouts.
- Socks & Calf Sleeves: Easy entry into compression—ideal for recovery, running, and travel.
