SKINS compression garments, your material for cycling, running and triathlon


SKINS is one of the first companies dedicated to the development of compression clothing for athletes. The origin of the Australian brand is in the year 1996. First, mainly competitive athletes used the positive effects of compression on performance and regeneration ability. Meanwhile, the products are also popular in amateur sports and internationally known. Compression improves performance by promoting the return of the blood in the veins and thus the circulation of the musculature. The better oxygen supply inhibits fatigue and promotes the degradation of lactic acid. At the same time, the supporting effect reduces the risk of muscle damage and injuries. Compression clothing is suitable for many sports, whether triathlon, team sport or workout.

Dynamic Gradient Compression

Science plays a major role in the development of products. Extensive research work and cooperation with institutes make it possible to constantly optimize sportswear and adapt it to the needs of endurance athletes. For example, the compression strength is not the same at every body site. Examinations with several athletes have shown how high the ideal compression in different places should be in order to achieve the best possible effect and where freedom of movement is important. Measurements during typical motion sequences have led to the development of dynamic-gradient compression, which is now a feature of most SKINS products. Furthermore, the position of the seams is deliberately chosen to stabilize the muscles and prevent pain. The material is a combination of multiple yarns, for durability and a consistent compression force.

Product lines for endurance athletes and triathletes

You will find SKINS sportswear of the lines A200, A400, Tri400 and DNAmic. Tri400 is specifically aimed at triathletes. The shorts, tops and trisuits are optimized for all three disciplines, including seat padding and coating for less water resistance. The other product lines are particularly suitable for running and other endurance and team sports. The 400 on the A400 and Tri400 lines stands for a particularly precise size system. 3D scans of several hundred athletes yielded 400 key points, according to which the sectional shape and size classification. DNAmic combines high functionality with dynamic designs and also keeps thermal sportswear ready for cold days. In all categories you will find special products for men and women with different sleeve and leg lengths or sleeveless. Loose shorts with compression inner layers are also part of the range. SKINS offers you a wide range of options to take advantage of compression for your performance.
