Trainers Spotlight
See why our athletics trainers love SKINS™!"The warp-knit fabric of SKINS is by far the most comfortable and durable material I've ever worn. I also love that their garments have compression panels and intentional stitching patterns to make sure you are getting the right level of compression in certain muscle groups and joints. The varying levels of compression and the diversity in products SKINS offers is second to none - there is a specific garment designed for every body part and for every type of training ensuring you get exactly what you need."
Geoff Puls, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Chicago Bulls"We have our pick of compression gear brands… After a good amount of trial and error, and a good amount of research, SKINS was an obvious choice. The quality of the material, the compression, the fit, you name it, SKINS provided it perfectly."
Ralph Reiff, Sr. Associate Athletic Director"SKINS has a rich research portfolio. This is not the only reason I recommend SKINS, but it is the foundation for me. Other reasons include positive athlete feedback, the wearability of the garments (the athletes use them!)"
1. WARP KNIT FABRIC
At the heart of every SKINS™ Compression garment lies our unique 76% Nylon / 24% Elastane warp knit fabric – an exclusive fabric available only to SKINS™. Unlike the circular knitting often employed by competitors, our warp knit fabric boasts extraordinary compression retention. SKINS™' warp knit materials stand apart, featuring an additional thread intentionally designed to hold compression even in the face of external damage. This remarkable design empowers us to utilize breathable, moisture-wicking materials while ensuring intense, consistent compression. While most compression wear on the market loses 50% of its compression after 45 minutes, SKINS’ compression holds its strength for hours.
2. INTENTIONAL PANELING
Each SKINS™ garment is meticulously designed with a strategic arrangement of patented compression panels, setting us apart from the competition. Our garments boast anywhere from four to over a dozen of these panels, each calibrated to deliver precise levels of compression to various muscle groups and joints. This innovative approach to compression paneling forms the foundation for our Gradient Compression technology. It's not just about how much compression you wear; it's about how and where that compression is applied. No matter the SERIES, you can trust that SKINS™ has got your back (and your legs, arms, and core) with the right compression, right where you need it.
3. GRADIENT COMPRESSION
At the heart of SKINS™ innovation lies our Gradient Compression technology. Visualize this technology as squeezing a toothpaste tube from the bottom, starting forcefully and lessening strength as you move towards the opening. You would never just squeeze a toothpaste tube from the middle. In our garments, strategically positioned panels with varying compression levels play a pivotal role in effective design. By channeling the highest compression at the extremities and easing it closer to the heart, we enhance blood circulation. This dynamic process optimizes both performance and comfort, reducing the likelihood of muscle fatigue and swelling, ensuring you stay at your best during and after your workout.
