Whether you’re hitting the ski slopes or grinding through winter rugby training, compression gear isn’t just for the pros — it’s a winter essential.

Compression Wear for Winter Sports: What You Really Need

Cold weather can be brutal on your muscles and joints, and staying warm while still performing at your peak is no easy feat. That’s where SKINS compression wear comes in.

Why Compression is a Game-Changer in Winter

Keeps muscles warm: Compression tights and tops help regulate body temperature and reduce the risk of injury in cold conditions.

Improves blood flow: Boosts circulation, helping your body warm up faster and recover quicker after tough sessions.

Reduces muscle fatigue: Whether you're skiing, snowboarding or training outdoors, compression helps delay lactic acid build-up.

Great for layering: Lightweight and breathable, SKINS gear works as a perfect base layer under outerwear.



Winter Sports That Benefit from Compression Gear
