HOW SKINS WORK
Skins™ BioAcceleration Technology™ has been developed over years of scientific research. Ongoing testing of elite athletes have proven that Skins™ BioAcceleration Technology™ creates marked improvements in reducing the build-up of lactic acid immediately after periods of sustained exercise (2hrs and 15 mins up to 37% ), and allows for more rapid return to normal levels (up to 38% at 20 minutes).
You experience less fatigue, minimise soreness and recover faster.
Skins™ is body-moulded compression performance equipment manufactured from the finest Lycra and Meryl Microfibre, scientifically engineered to provide support and muscle alignment to the smart-fabric covered area of your body. Skins™ will definitely change the way that you train and play as well as speed your recovery. You will feel fresher after heavy bouts of exercise and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) will be minimized.
BIOACCELERATION - SPEED UP 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 (which can last for more than 48 hours) are seen after 8 hours during which time pain, muscle weakness and alertness are dramatically improved.
SKINS MUSCLE +: REDUCE MUSCLE SORENESS
Skins™ performance equipment has been designed to wrap around key muscle groups to reduce muscle movement and focus the direction of the muscle.
The wrapping effect and compression also dramatically reduce muscle vibration resulting in less soft tissue damage and muscle soreness.
The combination of muscle wrapping with BioAcceleration Technology™ act to marked reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and accelerate recovery times.
SKINS DRY - STAY COMFORTABLE
Moisture management is built into the Skins™ smart-fabric to keep you dry.
The smart-fabric draws moisture away from your skin (wicking) to the smart-fabric surface and evaporates.
SKINS TEMP - STAY WARM OR STAY COOL
Skins™ smart-fabric works to optimise your body temperature in both warm and cool conditions. The fabric warms your muscles quickly. When warm, the wicking properties and large surface area promotes evaporative cooling (the principle cooling mechanism of the body). This maintains body temperature more constantly, which helps your body perform better and for longer.
Skins™ also work to maintain an optimal skin temperature without effecting core temperature, due to Skins™ wicking fabric that promotes evaporate cooling. Skins™ has been shown using thermal imaging to create a difference of up to three degrees and prevents moisture accumulating under the sports fabric.
SKINS FRESH - ANTIBACTERIAL FABRIC
Skins™ smart-fabric is embedded with antibacterial and antimicrobial treatment that act to discourage the growth of bacteria.
This helps to prevent the odour normally associated with Lycra products.
SKINS UV BLOCK - PROTECTS YOU FROM THE SUN
Skins™ smart-fabric is designed to offer SPF 50+ protection from the sun.
This means that you can enjoy outdoor exercise and activities without the concern of sun-related risks.
SKINS FIT - A PROPER FIT BASED ON SIZE AND WEIGHT (BMI)
Our creation of the correct compression is based on a body mass index (BMI) algorithm. A unique sizing system based on the algorithm allows us to customize and engineer gradient compression.
By controlling the elasticity of the fabric in conjunction with pattern making based on the sizing system, we are able to ensure the correct level of surface pressure for the great variety of body shapes.
