FAQs
What is Dynamic Gradient Compression?
Dynamic Gradient Compression is a technology developed by Skins that applies precise levels of compression to support muscles, enhance blood flow, reduce fatigue, and speed up recovery. The compression is varied strategically across different parts of the garment.
Are these tights suitable for all sports?
Yes, they are designed for versatility and can be used for a wide range of athletic activities including running, cycling, gym workouts, yoga, and team sports. They are also beneficial for post-exercise recovery.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Skins sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. Proper sizing is crucial for the effectiveness of compression wear. Measure your key body points as indicated on the chart.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
The nylon material offers some thermal properties, but they are primarily designed for moisture-wicking and compression. For very cold conditions, consider layering with additional thermal wear.
How do the reflective elements help?
The reflective details are designed to bounce light back towards the source, making you more visible to car headlights and other light sources in low-light or dark conditions, thereby increasing your safety during outdoor activities.
What is the main benefit of wearing compression tights?
The main benefits include enhanced muscle support, reduced muscle vibration and fatigue during exercise, improved blood circulation, and potentially faster recovery with reduced muscle soreness.
Can these be worn for recovery only, not for active sports?
Yes, while designed for performance, they are also highly effective for post-exercise recovery to help reduce muscle soreness and promote circulation.
Troubleshooting
Tights feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Skins size guide. Compression wear should be snug, but not painful. If it's consistently uncomfortable, consider sizing up.
Fabric loses compression over time
Follow the care instructions carefully. Avoid high heat, harsh detergents, and fabric softeners, as these can degrade the elasticity of the fabric.
Chafing or irritation during wear
Verify that the tights are the correct size and are not bunching up. Ensure the flatlock seams are positioned comfortably against your skin. Make sure the fabric is dry.
Reflective elements peeling off
Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective elements.
