I love Skins – they’re functional, fit brilliantly, and look great, too.

Skins has upped the ante, with some fantastic new technology; the A400 range was created using “laser body mapping and motion capture to take an incredible 800,000 individual measurements and assess 400 key body-fitting points on hundreds of athletes”.

Compression gear has been shown to improve performance and recovery – and there’s more to it than long socks! There are 12 individual pieces in the A400 range – including long and three quarter tights, short-sleeve and long-sleeve tops, racer back tops for women, plus calf tights and arm sleeves.
