Skins Men's Sport Long Tights - 2009

Skins™ sport long tights are engineered gradient compression performance equipment which optimise the endurance and recovery of the muscles of the lower body. The benefits of Skins™ sport long tights provide include; faster removal of lactic acid, improved circulation and greater oxygen availability in the hamstrings, quadriceps and calves. Skins™ sport long tights also promote muscle power and dramatically reduce muscle vibration, thus significantly reducing your fatigue and muscle soreness both during and after exercise.

What are Skins™ and how do they work?

Skins™ is body-moulded gradient compression performance equipment with built-in BioAcceleration Technology™ which will enhance your performance in training, competition and recovery.

The future of technical wear is engineered gradient compression. When compression is engineered to apply a balanced and accurate surface pressure over specific body parts, it triggers an acceleration of blood flow. This increases oxygen delivery to working muscles to enhance their performance.

The circulation improvements also help the body to eliminate lactic acid and other metabolic wastes. The combination of these effects allows you to work at a higher rate for longer.

The improved oxygenation is most marked in recovery from exercise. As a result, muscle repair is accelerated, with a greater effect if your Skins™ are worn for longer, The best effects on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which can last for more than 48 hours, are seen after 8 hours during which time pain, muscle weakness and alertness are dramatically improved.

Why are Skins™ different?

Skins™ are unique in their combination of features, which work better than any single component.

The key is in Skins™ revolutionary BioAcceleration Technology™ and the features that are built into the smart fabric of all Skins™ products.

Benefits include:
• reducing lactic acid build-up, increasing muscle oxygenation and enhancing circulation;
• focusing muscle power;
• drawing moisture away from the skin;
• optimising body temperature in warm or cool conditions;
• preventing odour through antibacterial treatments;
• providing sun safety with 50+ UV protection.

The benefits that only Skins™ provide are backed by independent testing. Skins™ are the only compression and therapeutic sportswear that conducts independent scientific testing.
