SKINS Compression Reviews 302

I love my skins leggings (great quality etc) but I recently bought skins socks and they arrived faulty. I have contacted the service team, they admit the fault but will not help me? They are ignoring me emails, and just keep signing me up to mailing lists.

7 days I am waiting for my order -any information when it would be delivered. Any answer for my e-mail!

Emailed customer support to ask the the difference in pressure ranges between the series 1, 3 and 5 in rough mmHg and the direction of the gradient compression, fairly basic information that their competitors like zone3 were happy to share. Customer support refused saying it was somehow highly secretive information. Pretty disappointing given the claim their products are scientifically backed, but they won't share the numbers to let you make the right choice for your body.

Skins compression tights feel great, look great, and work extremely well, but there’s one issue that I find frustrating: the stitching. Naturally with a clothing product that stretches a significant amount, there’s going to be some stitches that break. Luckily, they’re designed to handle light breaks in stitching, so the only problem will usually be stitching that isn’t very smooth. However, sometimes they just aren’t stitched well. In one case, the natural breaking occurred, but in one spot, the fabric pulled away from the stitching. Now there’s a hole (albeit a small hole) after 8 or so wears. That’s very frustrating considering the price, but it’s a very small hole and it doesn’t seem worth ranting about. This only has occurred once out of five pairs that I’ve owned over the years, but it did happen. As for functionality, they work fantastically. I have an illness that basically only allows me to do cardio in the summer and winter, so I do a lot of resistance exercises. They don’t help a whole lot during the workout, but wearing them after is a must. I like going until I can’t use my legs, and that means horrible soreness the next several days. If I don’t wear them, I can barely move for a couple days, but if I do wear them, I’m mildly sore and am ready to go again quickly. As for cardio, there’s a good difference in endurance with these, but recovery is still the shining light of these.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Skins compression, just be cautious that the stitching is slightly hit or miss.

The Skins A400 series was amazing. Perfect compression for both hiit, running and doing heavy weights. The DNAmic has a few OK models but unless you be super skinny with an ironingboard flat belly the waist elastic is crap that keeps rolling together like a rubber band around the waist. Every DNAmic model has a different sice waist elastic which makes finding a good fit hard unless you live close to a seller.
And the new Skins series 5 thighs is a whopping disappointment! Skins has gone from excellence to less than average quality and a massively overpriced product.
So the A400 I got last year will my last Skins compression tights . Just returned two DNAmic and 2 Series 5. The series 5 is such a poor quality compression I wouldn't even wear it if I got it for free! There are to many high quality options available!

I love my compression sleeves. Used them for an 85 mile walk over six days and never experienced any muscle aches or pains. The stitching started to come away from one leg, so I emailed customer service and they sent me a brand new pair which I was not expecting. No questions asked. It's this type of customer service that keeps people coming back. And a product that works.

I used my skins for an ultra marathon but had to take them off at mile 30ish because the chafing they caused was excruciating, very well made just a shame I had to remove them.

High quality products that feel great and make you want to get out and exercise, best compression garments on the market.

Perfect product, i wear it every day@

Although the purchased garments weren't appropriate for the current needs my past compression Skins for skiing are amazing and really do work

Efficient quick delivery. Items were as described excellent style and fit

Skins is the best compression tights I've bought. I have tried a lot and none has come close

Fits like a glove, lovely to wear

service despatch very good products very good would like to see more offers perhaps going forward & the range in 3/4 over the knee is poor ? thank you

Quick postage, the skins did the job they were purchased for and I also received prompt contact from customer services when seeking advice.

Perfecto todo. La atención, la rapidez y la solución al problema! Por eso siempre elijo esta marca. Porque son profesionales en todo. Muchas gracias

I was expecting a more impressive quality given the descriptions. Seems on par with regular exercise gear I'm not noticed any specific compression qualities.

`I sent back return and was accepted v quickly and no quibble

Good product. Fits well - I used the sizing guide. I loved the idea of the high waist as I am long waisted and hate the
cold gap, but these are slightly too long in the waist even for me. There is a feeble pocket, good enough for a resistance band which is all I keep in mind. Not sure I would chance a phone in it! Overall the compression is good and these look like a quality product which will last. Surprisingly good compression in the sacral area - bit niche to me though. For me Zone 3 are a better fit and product, but still very happy with the purchase.
