Skins

[Soups]

Just wanted to see what you guys think about skins? I picked up a pair not too long ago and i think they are fantastic. I have the leggins and they are great. Keep my legs refreshed after those cold nights at training.

I have a pair of skins too that I use for RPM. They are good other than I lost weight now they are not so tight

 

[kimirocks]

I bought a pair to go riding in, as I find bib shorts so very uncomfortable to wear. Great product

 

[carntheroos4eva]

I wear them under my goal umpiring uniform. They are really good to wear.

 

[goal sneak]

Yeah they are awsome. I wear them all the time. I have found it really helps to wear them after the game. I just put them under my jeans and my legs feel great the next day even after a big night.

 

[Bryceson]

Yeh they are great to run in. My legs never get sore anymore

What do people think of the short one that you wear under your footy shorts, what do they do?
Are they good?

 

[fugsy]

I don't mind skins, however if I really want to benefit from it I should probably improve my golf game.

Yeah i have a pair of them aswell. Don't always wear them in a game but they are still very good. Probably better if you were into riding rather then footy, but the whole skins range are great

Got a pair last year and they are amazing. Comfy and keeps me refreshed at training on those cold nights. Even good for those freezing mornings on the way to school.

Got a pair of them, and it was the best $80 I've ever spent. Used to get terribly sore in the hammys/quads/groin after footy, but not once have I ever pulled up sore after wearing them.

I was pretty skeptical when I bought them. The company talks them up so bloody much, and it is very hard to believe that a pair of tight shorts can really do all those things...but whatever it is the company is trying to say is true!

The main thing I am worried about it how long they'll last. I've had mine for about 3 months (wearing them twice a week at training and playing two games most weeks) and while they are still doing the job fine, I don't think they are as tight as they used to be. And I don't particularly want to spend $80 every 4 or 5 months to replace them.

The main point is - They are great! Don't get put off by the price.

i got a pair of the shorts for soccer and they are great.

dont get as sore after games and find i can run out games better by wearing them.

They only suit ya if ur problem is in ur hammmys/thighs. Well obviously, but yeh i prefer the long ones.

Long Skins are better because if you get a lot of calf, knee or other injuries it protects you from getting injured.

my hammies are shagged and skins speed up recovery after a big session

make sure that you stretch before and after training and playing footy. Otherwise you will do more damage to your hammys.

SKINS are very good . While it may seem a lot to pay for just a set of tights, out of all the tights I've tried they are clearly the best when it comes to the "compression" effect. I also have a couple of pairs of the budget K-mart brand ones (think they're called Torpedo EvoTec?), the compression effect isn't as strong as SKINS but not bad for the price you pay (I got the long tights for $30 on sale), I normally wear them if my SKINS are in the wash and they do the job pretty well.

 

[deeman12]

Ive never worn them, but they look more like a astronuaut suit.

I used to have big problems with one of my quads after a bit of excercise.

Picked up a pair about six months ago. Since then the pain isn't anywhere near what it used to be.

 

[footy55]

Does anyone know when the new skins range comes out?

 

[soupaman]

This sounds like one of those midday testimonial ads.

"I bought a pair and now I feel great, I even wear them to work"

I accidently ripped a whole in my skins so i got a pair of the KMART ones until i had enough money to buy the skins again, not bad for the price.

Yeah I wear my Dr Martins
