FAQs

What is the primary benefit of wearing Skins compression tights?

The primary benefit is enhanced muscle support and improved circulation, which can lead to reduced muscle fatigue during exercise and faster recovery afterward.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

The tights should fit snugly like a second skin without causing pain or restricting circulation. Refer to the official Skins sizing chart, which typically uses body measurements like height and weight, to find your best fit.

Can I wear these for everyday activities, not just sports?

Yes, while designed for athletic performance, many people find them comfortable for everyday wear, especially for recovery or if they experience swelling or discomfort.

How often should I wash my compression tights?

It's generally recommended to wash them after each significant use to maintain hygiene and fabric integrity. Always follow the specific care instructions on the product label.

What does 'gradient compression' mean?

Gradient compression means the pressure is highest at the extremity (e.g., ankle) and gradually decreases up the limb. This is designed to promote blood flow back towards the heart.

Are these suitable for cold weather training?

The fabric offers some warmth, but they are primarily designed for moisture management and muscle support. For very cold conditions, you may need to layer them with additional thermal wear.

What is the UV protection rating?

The Skins Series-5 Ladies' tights offer UPF 50+ protection, blocking over 98% of harmful UV rays.

Troubleshooting

Tights feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Skins sizing guide. An incorrect size can lead to discomfort and reduced effectiveness. Consider trying a size up if you are between sizes and prefer less compression.

Reduced compression after several uses

Follow the care instructions diligently. Over-washing with harsh detergents, high heat drying, or ironing can damage the compression fibers. Wash in cold water, use mild detergent, and line dry.

Chafing or irritation during wear

Ensure the garment is the correct size and fits smoothly without wrinkles. If chafing occurs, try wearing a moisture-wicking base layer underneath or adjust the fit if possible.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the optimal performance and longevity of your Skins compression wear:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle (30°C / 86°F).
