[w1dowtaker]

Would under armour work the same? but cheaper..?

@w1dowtaker Bsc, 2xu, Body armour, Skins. there all pretty much the same, execept some are cheaper.

[w1dowtaker]

@JordanGuitar11 yea skins is a rip off

[MrZacko20]

Are the longer ones better than the shorts?

[SonyCamry]

will this protect me from carpet burn? I play soccer on a synthetic pitch and when i slide on the pitch i get bad carpet burn will skins ruin/protect me?

you get what you paid for !! I bought the recovery tight about a year now and this thing is totally working especially for the long rides 70-100 miles I put them on when I back home and wear them when Im sleep, the next day you will have fresh legs (less soreness ) to hit the road.

skins is and always will be more inferior to good old hard work and training.... You cant just get good by wearing compression garments. Their a big blow on your wallet. I wear other compression shorts for rugby and athletics...but its just to make me look good

[TrueBlueAustralian]

Works really well, but is very costly

[skinsider1]

@TrueBlueAustralian Thanks for your feedback. We think that the price of SKINS is justified by the sheer volume of research and testing that goes into making products that really do work, unlike some other 'compression wear' on the market right now. Our manufacturing processes and materials are also far more advanced than our competitors.

Like you say, SKINS works really well...but hopefully that answers your concerns over pricing.

Dear Girls,

If I wear tights for sport, do I have to put on underwear?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your answer.

[TheBlindSideFlanker]

@applesweeter I'm a guy but I'm sure it still apply to both genders, ya underwear is a BIG no no when using compression shorts. Why? Well to put it simply for pure comfort because compression shorts well compress ones underwear may start to "ride" up (trust me in the middle of a game you do not want that to happen).
