With a relentless commitment to engineering top-of-the-line, cutting-edge compression that works, Skins sets the benchmark in dynamic gradient compression. The brand’s winning formula is founded in on-going testing, science and consultation with professional athletes to design a product for peak performance. The technology-driven compression garments are specifically developed to compress muscle groups to trigger acceleration in blood flow, resulting in increased oxygen to working muscles and maximized performance. Skins compression wear is popularly known to reduce exercise-induced muscle damage, a key factor in promoting active recovery. Whatever the sport, Skins allows athletes to train harder, compete longer and recover faster.
