Stuff that gets our blood racing.Since SKINS began over a decade ago, we’ve been passionate about helping athletes excel. We’re mad about sport and obsessed by the fierce, competitive spirit which drives outstanding achievements – whether on the open road, the field or up a gruelling mountain.

Founded in Australia, we have innate respect for the underdog; for determination, passion and pure grit. We’re inspired by great sporting moments – those tear-jerking, adrenaline-inducing achievements – etched in the minds of sports fans the world over.

Stuff that gets your blood racing.It’s this love of sport that gets our blood racing – so we can, in turn, get yours racing. It’s what’s driven us to create such innovative and intelligent products, sought after by athletes everywhere. SKINS enhance human potential naturally. By providing the right compression in the right places, SKINS accelerate your blood flow and help deliver more oxygen to active muscles.

Our obsession with pushing limits, with always going one step further, is what turned us into one of the world’s most recognised and innovative sporting brands.

Welcome to SKINS 2010.

Introducing A400 – a compression revolution. Back in 1982, the world’s first wireless heart rate monitor was introduced– allowing athletes to check their pulse rate while in motion for the first time ever. In 2010, with the new 400 Series, SKINS introduces a technology of equal significance – compression levels measured on moving athletes.

We’ve pushed the boundaries and taken technology and compression one step further. Every component is based on solid research and analysis. We tested our garments on hundreds of real athletes using 3D body scanning and dynamic compression measuring techniques. This helped us determine in exact detail where compression is needed for optimal circulation, injury prevention and maximum comfort.

The SKINS story.SKINS was started in 1996 by an aspiring Aussie bloke. He had a sports science background and a simple, bold ambition; to do all the physical stuff he could ten years ago – ski treacherous slopes, cycle all day, or endure a fiery game of footy – and still feel bullet-proof.

He started with the knowledge that increased blood circulation helps the body perform better. By wrapping his muscles in a second ‘skin’, he could accelerate blood flow and increase oxygen delivery to working muscles, improving his power, speed, stamina and recovery. It took five years to invent and refine the very first pair of SKINS tights. Yet it wasn’t long before athletes all over the world swore by them and still do.

Today, SKINS are sought-after by discerning sports people in more than 30 countries. The benefits of SKINS have been highlighted by endless independent research, with over five studies published in peer reviewed medical journals. SKINS are also recommended and endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association and are registered as medical devices by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration.

Substance over image. Keep it real.We won’t make empty promises. We don’t believe in hype, unless it’s backed by solid facts. You can rest assured that all research we quote is actually performed on SKINS products – not our competitors’. We’re anything but vague. We mean what we say and we say what we mean.

Go hard, or go home. We support some of the world’s best individual athletes and sporting teams. We celebrate the courage, determination and unwavering will that drives sports people forward. We respect the professionals and amateurs who do their best whatever the circumstances. Most importantly, we believe that winning doesn’t necessarily make you a winner. It’s how you play that counts.

We help muscles breathe.SKINS are designed to increase the flow of oxygen to muscles. We achieve this in two key ways:

Gradient Compression.SKINS gradient compression has been engineered to provide the correct level of surface pressure to specific body parts, enhancing circulation and delivering more oxygen to active muscles. Improved circulation also helps to eliminate lactic acid build-up and other metabolic wastes so you can go harder for longer and recover faster.

Superior construction.The fabric in SKINS is warp knitted using multiple fine quality yarns to give superior performance. Warp knit fabrics have no natural stretch – instead, the spandex mix ensures specific levels of elasticity and perfectly controlled compression. Some other compression brands use circular kit which has a natural stretch, making it hard to maintain the correct level of compression. Circular knit fabrics are also less durable and likely to run if snagged.

Warp knit construction has a ‘float line’ between loops to aid moisture management. Multiple yarns are used for added strength and to eliminate running if the fabric is torn.

How SKINS work.We have the upmost respect for professional and amateur athletes alike. We love the dogged determination that sees people finish marathons, shave seconds off their personal best, kick a winning goal, or bounce back from a king hit in the boxing ring. We admire the combination of physical and mental strength that helps them do it over and over again.

Yet we also believe that to perform at maximum capacity, athletes need an edge; a natural advantage. That’s where we come in.

By stimulating the flow of oxygen to muscles, SKINS help you go harder for longer with more power. SKINS also provide critical stability. We help the body fight fatigue so you recover faster. Plus, we protect the skin from harmful UV rays and draw moisture away from the body – so you stay comfortable no matter what.

Oxygen.SKINS help improve the supply of oxygen to active muscles. This enhances natural performance, increases the turnaround of metabolic waste and reduces the build-up of lactic acid – meaning faster recovery.

Compression.If the compression level is too high it can restrict blood flow and cause friction between muscles. If it’s too low it won’t provide any benefit at all. SKINS engineered gradient compression ensures the correct level of pressure is provided in the right places to enhance circulation and deliver more oxygen to your muscles. The SKINS 400 Series features our unique dynamic gradient compression and biomechanically placed Memory MX fabric, providing even more precise compression during activity and recovery.


A study in motion: 400 Series. Dynamic Gradient Compression.Athletes don’t stand still. So to measure the true effectiveness of SKINS, it’s essential we consider athletes in motion; doing what they do best. In developing our revolutionary new 400 Series range, we set out to do just that. We studied professional and amateur athletes to determine the compression requirements of each muscle group both in motion and while static, during recovery.

The result? SKINS Dynamic Gradient Compression.

400 Fit.Hundreds of athletes. Over 800,000 measurements of each. 400 key fitting points. Perfect fit.

Focus.SKINS wrap and support key muscle groups, which reduces vibration and helps maintain muscle alignment. The seams on SKINS are strategically placed to act as ‘anchor points’ – offering focused support and stability.

Moisture.All SKINS fabrics actively draw moisture away from your skin – keeping you dry in even the most gruelling situations.

Temperature.SKINS fabrics help optimise your body temperature in both warm and cool conditions. Muscles warm up quickly through enhanced circulation, while the superior wicking promotes evaporative cooling to help maintain a more constant body temperature.

Odour.SKINS have antimicrobial elements built into the fabric – they can’t be washed out no matter how often SKINS are worn. These elements discourage the growth of bacteria by absorbing odour-causing substances.

Sun.Wearing SKINS equals 50+ UV protection – preventing harsh UV rays from penetrating the skin. When it comes to being sun smart, you can trust us. We’re from Australia.

Advantage SKINS.We fine-tuned compression. From the 800,000 measurements taken in the 3D study, we established 400 key fitting points on the human body. We determined exactly where and how much compression is needed during activity. We then cut and shaped our garments accordingly. By catering so finely to the body’s needs while in motion, we’ve been able to deliver superior biomechanical support and optimal comfort. This is the basis of dynamic gradient compression.

We gave our garments a memory. Biomechanically placed Memory MX fabrics provide controlled, consistent elasticity and perfectly focused support, complimenting the body’s natural movement and reducing the risk of injury.

Forget EPO, nasal spray or cough syrup. SKINS enhance your potential naturally.Looking for ways to help athletes go even further, do even more and last for longer, we set out to further perfect and refine the compression techniques we use in our garments. The result: the revolutionary A400 Active range with dynamic gradient compression and Memory MX fabric.

We studied athletes.We performed a wide-scale study of hundreds of athletes, amateur and professional, of all shapes and sizes. We developed a proprietary dynamic compression measuring technique and 3D body scanning technology, and used these to study the athlete’s anatomy and the way they move.

You don’t stop breathing after the game.

The benefits of increased oxygen to your muscles during sport are obvious. But recovering muscles need oxygen too. Stepping into SKINS RY400 after a workout enhances the circulation in abused legs, arms and shoulders reducing recovery time.

Your muscles don’t stop working once you’ve crossed the finish line.

Forget massages or comfy slippers. For maximum recovery, pull on your RY400 garments after sport. A recovering body has different compression needs to one that’s taut, in-motion and being pushed to the limits. Based on the revolutionary 400 fit, our new RY400 range can help prevent muscle fatigue, eliminate delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and improve recovery. You can even wear SKINS while you sleep to speed up your recovery, so you wake up fresh and ready to do it all over again.

Miles Ahead. Power on the pedal.To help cyclists pedal stronger for longer, SKINS C400 cycle shorts, compression jerseys and baselayer tops feature SKINS dynamic gradient compression.

Protection from the elements.Matching mesh vents, aligned seams and perfectly fitting hems are some of the reasons to layer up in SKINS. However, there are also state-of-the-art materials, such as the DiAPLEX layer in the front of the C400 wind vest. This cutting edge fabric becomes an insulating barrier against wind chill on steep descents and has the ability to allow moisture to escape as your body temperature rises again.

Cycling isn’t about the scenery. Whether it’s tackling a steep mountain pass, enduring a gruelling road race, or biking through rugged bush, cycling places enormous demands on the human body. It’s a test of strength, power and pure grunt to reach the finish line.

The new SKINS C400 cycling range helps cyclists perform at their best – with a unique layering system inlaid with smart, new technology.

Four layers of innovation.In cycling, there’s a layer before the baselayer: the chamois. The Multi-D Anatomic Carbonium men’s chamois is the result of thousands of hours of engineering and user testing. its unique shape curves perfectly where your bum meets the saddle the Elastic Interface® Technology Carbonium three-threaded fabric used to cover the chamois means breathability, enhanced all-way stretch and reduced friction high-density foam inserts also relieve pressure in the perineal area for maximum comfort

Defeat the heat.

SKINS ICE garments contain a fair bit of sound science. We’ve taken our proven engineered gradient compression and coupled it with Microencapsulation Technology (MET). The result is a menthol cooling substance in our fabrics. SKINS ICE doesn’t physically cool the muscles– that would be a bad idea during exercise. Instead, under the influence of friction and body heat, the microcapsules release menthol, sending signals to the brain to induce a cooling sensation. This means you feel fresh, even in the hottest conditions.

SKINS ICE can easily be recharged using our unique iceBOOST spray.

High tech. Low maintenance. How to wash.Simply machine wash on a gentle cycle using warm water (below 30°C) without fabric conditioner. Don’t bleach, iron or tumble dry. Wash with like colours. Always rinse thoroughly in cool, fresh water if you’ve been in salt water.

Swimming in SKINS.Both our TRI products and the rest of the SKINS range feel at home in the water. Just be sure to stay away from chlorinated pools, as the chlorine can damage the elasticity of the fabrics.

Beyond sports performance.Injury prevention.The wrapping and compression of muscles through SKINS productscan dramatically improve muscle awareness and focus (proprioception). Compression also limits the risk of injury caused from overexerted muscles.

Medical conditions.SKINS BioAcceleration Technology can speed up recovery from injuries through engineered gradient compression and improved muscle oxygenation. In addition, SKINS can help reduce jetlag, growing pains, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, lymphoedema and varicose veins. SKINS were also shown to reduce the symptoms of deep vein thrombosis in a study published in the Australian Medical Journal.
