Traveling Smart with SKINS: Why Compression is Your Best Travel Companion

Sep 18, 2024My Store Admin

Whether you're jetting off on a long-haul flight or embarking on a road trip, comfort is key. But what if you could combine comfort with performance and recovery? Enter SKINS Compression—your ultimate travel partner. From improving circulation during flights to aiding muscle recovery on the road, compression wear ensures that your journey doesn’t come at the cost of your well-being.

Why Compression Matters When Traveling

When you're seated for extended periods, whether on a plane or in a car, your circulation can slow down, leading to swelling and discomfort. This is where compression wear, like SKINS, comes into play. Our scientifically engineered garments apply gradient pressure to boost blood flow, helping to:

  • Prevent swelling: SKINS compression gear keeps your blood circulating, reducing the risk of swelling, particularly in the legs and feet.
  • Reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Compression can help lower the risk of blood clots by promoting healthy circulation during long flights or car rides.
  • Enhance comfort: The snug fit of compression clothing offers support to muscles, reducing stiffness and soreness from staying seated for long periods.

Compression Wear on a Plane: Elevating Comfort and Recovery

Flying is notorious for causing fatigue and muscle stiffness, especially when you’re confined to cramped seats for hours. SKINS compression helps counteract these effects by keeping muscles oxygenated, minimizing post-flight soreness, and even allowing you to arrive at your destination ready to move.

  • Fight Jet Lag with Improved Circulation: Keeping blood moving can help maintain energy levels, making it easier to adjust to time zone changes.
  • Post-flight Recovery: With SKINS travel products, such as our SERIES-3 Long Tights or Recovery Socks, you don't have to wait until after your trip to start recovering. The constant support provided by compression wear ensures your muscles stay energized and reduce recovery time after the flight.

On the Road with SKINS: Aiding Recovery Even When You're Not Moving

Road trips, while exciting, can be taxing on your body. Sitting in a car for hours on end without the freedom to stretch can cause stiffness in your legs, lower back, and neck. By wearing SKINS compression wear, you can prevent soreness and keep your recovery process on track—even when you're not moving.

  • Recovery Doesn’t Stop: SKINS products are designed for more than just workouts—they help maintain muscle support and recovery, even during sedentary activities like long drives.
  • Comfort on the Move: The breathable, warp-knit fabric in SKINS compression ensures you stay comfortable, no matter the climate. It's lightweight, soft against the skin, and engineered to maintain a stable body temperature.

Maximizing the Benefits of Compression Travel Wear

To get the most out of your SKINS products during travel:

  • Wear your compression gear at least an hour before your trip to get your blood circulating early.
  • Stay hydrated: Proper hydration enhances circulation, helping your compression wear work even better.
  • Stretch during breaks: If possible, stand up, move around, and stretch during flights or road trips to further aid circulation and reduce muscle stiffness.

Your travel days don’t have to disrupt your recovery. With SKINS compression wear, you can prevent discomfort, reduce swelling, and keep your muscles supported no matter where your travels take you. From long-haul flights to cross-country road trips, SKINS ensures that your journey is as smooth as your recovery. The best part?
