Brought shorts for gym workouts and found the comfort and support was excellent so good I now have 3 pairs A++
Great discounted skins, got 2 pairs, which are good for casual walking/hunting.
Unfortunately the sizing chart was not accurate and the item did not fit. I will have to return them
Skins A400 and now Series 3 have been my go to base layers for a number of years. These are good for any sport, any football any kind, cycling, weight lifting, tennis, recovery (any time after activity, fits under any regular clothes), rugby, any sport involving upper body, endurance sports where improved circulation, posture improvement, temp regulation (base layers)., awareness. Use these for more than cycling. Like the A400 and Series 3 as I can get a nice tight size on these, looking for a high compression fit layer up over them. Find performance of compression is better like this. Overall medium level, very comfortable. Frequent layering of tight compression aero jerseys, these tops are tight enough. If anything it improves breathing by improving posture, pushing chest out. Nice compression wrap for upper body without being restrictive, can feel feedback moving in it. Provides a bit of warmth on colder days but have not overheated over 80 degrees in the SS version. Can use skins arm sleeves over the shirt for additional warmth, wind protection. Tight top, spend 4 hours in one, never want to be without it. Have spent 7 hours in these.
I have a lot of Skins general compression, find this thermal compression top is one of the best thermal base layers I have used in cold weather cycling. I also mix in their Series 3 or a200 tights sometimes below 35 sometimes below 30. Personal, like tight sizing for increased compression performance. It helps support you when you go into a particular cycling position; supports posture. The fit on the Skins longs is ideal, does not move or chafe at all. Have no issue with comfort after 2-3 hours in the cold. Have Ser 3 level compression mostly, thermal provides a bit more compression. The pressure is quite noticeable as it wraps everything up, you can feel pressure throughout range of motion with no restrictions,. You can maintain a decent amount of comfort, will really start to like it, the compression feedback keeps you really alert. The increased blood flow does keep my core temp warmers also. I use the thermal tops for every cold ride, tights in cold. Seems like I have extra power using the Skins base layering. It is amazing I can use Skins with the small sizing dedicated cycling brands, keep it warm and tight but mobile.
After using the thermal bibs plus other Skins kit, these are among my favorite ever bibs. They are wonderful to be in delivering countless benefits, many from the compression. They are thermal providing warmth and regulate body temperature, compression keeps me warmer from increased circulation. Effectively, the kit, its compression, wraps the muscles completely with targeted compression for certain ones. Example, the significant level of compression in the jersey is different than the bibs on the leg. Like how the thermal top integrates seamlessly into this cycling kit, nice tight fit. Compression pieces work nicely for my riding as then layer up nice but do not move, no chaffing, can layer over them if colder. I get the idea, see how the compression helps when in the cold, keeps you warm, keeps muscles ready. This is a tight high compression kit. This is the best fitting bib (kit) I have been in, able to size a little smaller, get more aero fit, increased compression benefits. After experiencing it, this is benchmark for sizing cycling kit, going extra tight on the kit. Best describe experience of being in it compression feedback, you feel it a lot; you will want to be in it once you do. I can spend 4 or 5 hours in this kit, no problem at 50 degrees. For the elite jersey, I am a fan because it is delivering compression on its own, can hold its own as a super tight aero jersey. Welcome icing on the cake for me, extends the concept into the jersey. Like the zipper, easy to put on, easier if closing a bit slower considering compression level. I have full range of motion with any Skins layers I use cycling. Comfort is great, compression does not get
in the way.
I like my Skins. I don't like how the waistband folds, or how little compression they provide for my legs. I have POTS and was recommended them, but they don't provide the leg compression needed.
Also, the little key pocket is annoying, as it scrhunches up every time I pull them up. I will cut it off, as I don't have a single key to put in it.
Really comfortable and feels better after using them.
Owned Series 1's and up for years. Bought the latest one online from Torp 7 and it was basically a rash shirt. Almost zero compression or sewn lines, not the same silky fabric - now rough and feels cheap. "its not clothing, its equipment" does NOT apply to this model. Returned.
They are very good for skateboarding in.
Important to maintain compression and venous return and the skins performed this function well, without undue tightness.
This was the biggest. I have 41 inch arms and female. Was tight but managed to keep it on but it not comfortable
Has been using them mostly for running trails find them extremely comfortable the one pocket is enough for my phone and an inhaler . And unlike other half tight set I've tried with pockets seems to be minimal movement when items are in the pocket compression and draw string keep everything together.
Great socks for long-haul air travel! Very comfortable and no leg or ankle swelling at all after a 17-hour flight. I love them.
I wear these bouldering and climbing. I find them great, comfy and don't restrict my movement. Ive found I don't get as much "next day" muscle pain if I've worn these.
Hi all at Skins, just wanted to drop a review for your awesome socks! I'm a Nurse and do 10 hour night shifts. I wear flight/ compression socks but they don't last long and get really sweaty. I've switched to your compression socks and they are fantastic! No more leg fatigue and they don't get sweaty. Much longer lasting and don't wear out at the heels like the others. Would highly recommend if your on your feet running around at work. Honestly great product.
Comfortable to wear, good level of compression for wearing the day after a sports tournament or while running and a nice fit.
Was excited to try these but unfortunately was let down as the material in some parts is super think and a hole has already formed.
Literally the best product hands down. I wear these after hard sessions and even sleep in them to recover in time for my next days trainings.
Hi these are way to tight and Ive emailed you but haven’t had no response.I wanted to see if I could change them to a bigger size
Had a badminton tournament and only played 3 games. Didn't fall or anything to dmg or tear out but has a tear know :(
Bought a upper body compression to and id give it a 5 star but this pants durability is pretty crap :( sorry team!
Brought a pair for my daughter to play netball in, she absolutely loves it, keeps her calves tight and warm. Rather these than kinesiology tape.
