Skins Performance Socks

Write your own peak performance story with SKINS SERIES-3 Performance Socks. A gradient compression helps enhance circulation and oxygen delivery to active muscles and help clear blood lactate for optimal movement and comfort.

Skins have incorporated their signature compression technology into the construction of the Performance Socks to provide you with optimum support and comfort, enabling you to power through your workout with consummate ease. The compression technology works tirelessly to increase muscle oxygenation, stabilise active muscles, and reduce the build-up of blood lactate. All this is designed to improve your performance and speed up the recovery process after your workout. Compression works to reduce fatigue and the risk of injury by providing targeted support to your muscles as you train. The compressive fit increases blood flow and reduces lactic acid build-up to improve oxygenation of muscle tissue, this, in turn, reduces muscle soreness and increases recovery times. Superior shock absorption comes from comfortable, soft fall cushioning that enhances comfort during activity and provides plush cushioning to the sole of the foot whilst an arch wrap support is added to reduce strain and impact on the sole. A moisture management system is embedded within the yarns of the socks to wick sweat and excess moisture as it's produced. Once the excess moisture has been wicked, the socks then transfer it to the outer layers of the fabric where it can be easily evaporated, ensuring you stay cool, dry, and comfortable. Additionally, the anti-chafing yarns are a feature to remember as they reside in the heel and toe area to reduce friction and blister development. The socks feature Skins very own antifungal copper technology that works with the moisture management system to prevent the growth of odour causing microbes. Lastly, the socks feature specific left and right construction that offers extra comfort.

A Brief History of SKINS

In 1996, an Aussie skier had a bold ambition to feel ten years younger so he could ski all day, party all night and be ready the next morning to do it all again. His starting point was the knowledge that improved blood circulation would supply more oxygen to his muscles, helping them work harder for longer and recover faster. So he consulted with NASA and other experts to confirm he was on to something. Turns out he was.

Soon word got out that there were these things called SKINS that improved your power, speed, stamina and recovery. Pro athletes were the first to start wearing them. Before long, amateur athletes joined the party.
