Quality

Good quality and fit

Great shorts.

Excellent for running. Comfortable, and the phone holder works well. A pocket for keys too. I bought a second pair!

Awesome product, huge improvement

Tights, long sleeve tops

I am in love with the SKINS products I purchased recently. I lift regularly and they really do assist with recovery.

Good compression shorts

Especially help when the legs are fatigued

SKINS Men's Series-1 Half Tights - Black

Great skins good fit - runs small

Perfect fit for a large boy. Possibly would run small as a mens fit. But excellent product as expected.

Perfect for my grandson

The small mens were a perfect fit for my grandson who is 11 and sizes about 14-16 boys. But if you were a genuine small mens it may be a small fit. Hexwas happy as larry with them.

Circulation

Skins compression gear is great for winter sports recovery, for instance wearing during and after practice sessions keeps you warm and speeds recovery. You can feel the legs being aided in circulation during the recovery process, they feel like they’re buzzing!

Skins reviews

Got a pair of tights I've always wanted as my legs ache, the thigh skins branded panels with the thin rubber stuff is pealing of after one wash, I wanted black tights now I have this ugly thigh panel that silver underneath, and looks like shit. This panel has no need to be there and offers nothing to the product. I asked for a replacement as this is a warranty issue but this will happen to this no matter what. Just plain black no bullshit what ever it is. Other than that perfect product. Thanks.

Hi Jason, Thanks so much for your honest feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We're sorry to hear about the issue with the panel peeling after just one wash — that’s definitely not the standard we aim for, and we understand how frustrating that would be, especially when you were excited to try them.
We’ve offered a replacement for you and hope you'll reply to our messages to arrange, but we also hear your point about the design — and we’ve passed that on to the supplier. Feedback like yours helps us improve and keep brands accountable.

Calf socks

Not is good as the yellow calf socks these ones have taken a long time to get used to, but tight for my liking.

Terrible fit - nothing like the web image

Bought as a gift for my wife but it gaped a lot around the side under the arms. It doesn't do that in the web photo and my wife is a similar size.

Hi Greg,
We’re really sorry to hear the fit wasn’t right — that’s always disappointing, especially when it’s a gift. While we do our best to show accurate product images and sizing guidance, we know that fit can vary from person to person, and in this instance it was a manufacturing issue and we completely understand your frustration.

We’ve processed the refund as requested, but if there's anything more we can do or if you're looking for an alternative, feel free to reach out. We genuinely appreciate the feedback — it helps us improve and serve our customers better.

Great shorts

Great shorts

Good product

Comfortable and breathable enough you'll forget you're wearing them during sport. But most importantly they solve problem of turf burn on artificial surfaces without feeling like another layer. Follow the size guide and you'll be fine.

Good things still exist!

These are the only socks that my extremely pointy feet’s stupidly sharp toenails don’t cut within a few weeks. everything on the compression side of things is perfect. socks don’t slip down from knee - the copper weave is genius. very durable - i wear them to work - building filmsets 10h a day. no swollen legs. worth every dollar (in other words they are very good)

Great Product

My calf keeps blowing when I go too hard out running. Wore these for the first time in a half marathon race, got a PB and they held my sore calf at bay the whole time. Now I won’t run without them.

Skin Shorts

Cut has changed and perhaps a little high now. Also missing the thigh pocket which was great for rubbish on long runs

Great skins

These are an improvement on my previous skins, good compression for my weekly basketball.

Blue skins review

While I love the colour I feel the fit is more XS rather than S. I always buy size small and the fit at size small is perfect for me normally but this pair feels a bit tight and short from leg top to waist.
