Skins Running Wear
If you're looking for high performance running wear designed for maximum support, comfort, and performance, then Skins is the right brand for you. With Skins compression clothing, you can train harder, perform better, and recover faster. Skins running wear is available in a multitude of styles and compression levels to suit all needs, from the everyday runner, to the elite athlete.
Compression Technology
Skins have been around since 1996, and they have constantly honed and updated their compression technology. There are three levels of compression offered by Skins, each aimed at providing targeted support for your muscles during different phases of exercise. In addition to compression, Skins running wear is specially designed to wick away moisture, thus providing comfort during activity, while simultaneously aiding in temperature regulation. All Skins textiles are rated for 50+ UV protection.
Skins Tights and Shirts
The tights are available in both full and half-length styles, and shirts come in both long-, and short-sleeve variations. Their tights provide firm support for the major muscle groups in your legs while reducing muscle oscillation and fatigue for optimised performance. The shirts by Skins target the muscle groups around the arms and shoulders to reduce muscle oscillation and provide support where it's needed the most.
Series-1
The Series-1 range from Skins is designed for medium-intensity activity and can be considered the entry-level range for the all-rounder. Ideal for a wide range of activities and team sports, this level of compression is ideal for the everyday runner.
Series-3
The Series-3 range from Skins offers a medium-high level of compression and is the true workhorse of the range. These tights and shirts are designed for a wide variety of medium-high-intensity activities. Series-3 compression technology offers slightly more support than the Series-1 does, and is perfect for the dedicated runner looking for superior performance.
Series-5
The Series-5 range from Skins provides the highest compression level and is designed to maximize performance, both in training and in competition. These tights and shirts are ideal for elite athletes looking for a competitive edge
Recovery Technology
While performance is greatly enhanced by compression clothing, there are numerous benefits to compression recovery gear. Skins are the pioneers of compression sportswear, and they know all about when and where to apply pressure to your muscle groups. In contrast to performance compression, recovery compression applies the correct amount of pressure to passive muscles, which helps the flow of oxygen and facilitates repair and recovery from exercise.
