FAQs

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Refer to the Skins official sizing chart, which typically correlates sizes with measurements like height and weight. The tights should feel snug and supportive, but not painfully constrictive. There should be no deep indentations or discomfort.

Can I wear these while sleeping?

Yes, the Skins Series-3 Travel and Recovery Tights are designed for extended wear, including during sleep, to aid recovery. Ensure they fit correctly and are comfortable.

How long should I wear the tights for recovery?

For optimal recovery benefits, it's recommended to wear them for at least 3-6 hours post-exercise or during travel. Some users prefer wearing them for longer periods or overnight.

Are these suitable for everyday active use, like running?

While they offer support, these specific Series-3 tights are optimized for travel and recovery. For high-impact sports or training, Skins offers other ranges designed for performance during activity.

What is the main benefit of the compression technology?

The primary benefit is enhanced blood circulation, which helps deliver more oxygen to your muscles, reduces muscle vibration and fatigue, and speeds up the removal of metabolic byproducts, leading to faster recovery and reduced soreness.

How do I wash and dry them correctly?

Machine wash in cold water (30-40°C) on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not bleach, use fabric softener, or tumble dry. Hang to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.

What material are the tights made from?

They are crafted from a high-performance fabric blend, typically featuring Nylon and Elastane, which provides durability, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties while maintaining compression.

Troubleshooting

Tights feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Skins sizing guide. If the fit is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size. Wear for shorter periods initially to acclimatize.

Compression seems to be decreasing over time

Follow the washing and care instructions strictly. Avoid high heat, harsh detergents, and fabric softeners. Ensure the garment is not overstretched when putting it on.

Skin irritation or chafing

Verify correct sizing, as incorrect fit can cause rubbing. Ensure the flatlock seams are positioned correctly against the skin. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
