FAQs

What is the main purpose of wearing Skins Series-1 Arm Compression Sleeves?

The primary purpose is to provide targeted compression and support to your arm muscles during physical activity, aiming to reduce muscle oscillation, lessen fatigue, and enhance performance.

How do I determine the correct size for my sleeves?

You need to measure the circumference of your arm at its widest point (usually the bicep) and consult the official Skins sizing chart. A proper fit is crucial for optimal compression and comfort. Info needed: specific instructions or link for sizing guide.

Can I wear these sleeves for post-workout recovery?

While compression generally aids circulation, the Skins Series-1 sleeves are primarily designed for use *during* physical activity to support muscles and reduce fatigue. For dedicated recovery, Skins offers specific recovery garments.

Are these arm sleeves suitable for all types of sports?

Yes, they are versatile and suitable for most sports and activities that involve arm movement or require muscle support, such as running, cycling, weightlifting, basketball, and more.

How often should I wash my compression sleeves?

It is recommended to wash your compression sleeves after every use, or at least regularly, to maintain hygiene and fabric integrity. Always follow the specific care instructions.

Will the red color fade after washing?

Following the recommended care instructions, especially hand washing in cold water and air drying, will help preserve the color. Avoid harsh detergents and direct sunlight during drying to prevent fading.

Troubleshooting

Sleeves feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Re-check your arm measurements against the Skins sizing chart. If measurements indicate a larger size, consider exchanging for the correct fit. Ensure the sleeves are not bunched up, as this can create pressure points.

Sleeves roll down or slip during activity.

This often indicates the sleeves might be too large. Ensure you have the correct size for your arm circumference. Proper placement and a snug fit are essential to prevent slipping.

Skin irritation after wearing the sleeves.

Wash the sleeves thoroughly before their first use. Ensure you are not allergic to the material (likely Nylon). If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Sleeves losing elasticity over time.

Follow the care instructions precisely. Avoid hot water, tumble drying, and harsh detergents, as these can damage the elastic fibers. Excessive stretching can also reduce elasticity.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your compression sleeves:

  • Drying: Lay flat to air dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as high heat can damage the compression fabric.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
