Whether you enjoy a casual gym class, do a morning run or have your own training regime, SKINS compression garments, like your runners, are an essential part of your wardrobe.
Scientifically proven to make the body perform and recover better, your little black SKINS mean you can work out longer and have less muscle pain the next day. How? We ensure you get correct amount of pressure in all the right places to deliver more oxygen to your muscles whilst our unique fabrics reduce the risk of injury by supporting key muscle groups and allowing unrestricted movement. <div class="product-description">&lt;br/&gt;Scientifically proven to make the body perform and recover better, SKINS help you work out longer and have less muscle pain the next day. 
&lt;strong&gt;• Revolutionary sizing&lt;/strong&gt;
Forget the vagueness of the usual S, M, L fit.  From day dot we refused to accept poor fitting garments, so, to provide the best fit in sports compression, we pioneered a sizing system that uses a unique BMI algorithm which takes into account your height and weight (God love those sports scientists!)

&lt;strong&gt;• The ultimate fit&lt;/strong&gt;
Leading the way in compression sizing, we have now developed another compression first… our SKINS 400 Series.
A range tailored for the ultimate fit, using a unique sizing system that not only takes into account height and weight as before, but now also your body shape. 
We know that women are all shapes and sizes (our full 3D body scan of hundreds of active women confirmed this!) but our research allowed us to identify 2 body shapes key to giving every woman the perfect fit. 

Creating what is arguably the best fitting female compression garment in the market:

‘A’ shaped bodies have a small waist in relation to the hip and thigh. (Sorry A Sizing Not Currently sold in NZ. Please contact us to enquire about stock if you are an A sizing)
‘H’ shaped bodies have little variation in shape from waist to the hip and thigh.
Whatever your game, we’d like to think we can help you do it better… by making you go smarter, not harder.

Suitable for wear under your competition uniform 2XU has tailored the fit of this short to give equal support to all regions of the upper leg- a high stress and often injury stricken area. All the while, a graduated compression aids blood flow to the heart.<div class="product-description">&lt;h2&gt;BENEFITS OF 2XU COMPRESSION SHORTS&lt;/h2&gt;
• 50 Denier Construction
• Circular Knit
• Anti Bacterial
• DVT protection on long flights.
• 24/7 Durability

IMPROVED CIRCULATION
Faster warm up and enhanced overall circulation. Graduated compression of the limbs actively encourages and increases venous return to the heart and lymph to the lymph nodes.
	
2XU DVT
Deep Vein Thrombosis is a condition that mainly affects the lower body and is associated with long periods of travel or inactivity. 2XU Compression garments enhance blood flow in these areas through enhanced venous return, reducing the risk of DVT.

IMPROVED RECOVERY
Therapeutic rated fabric provides greater pressure and recovery benefit by helping the pumping action of the cardiovascular system; removing blood lactate from exercising muscles leading to faster muscle repair.
	
2XU ANTI BACTERIAL
Embedded with an anti-bacterial, odour resistant application, 2XU Compression can help minimise odour and prevent bacterial growth.

REDUCED FATIGUE
During exercise, your muscles are exposed to forces that cause vibration. This major cause of muscle fatigue, known as muscle oscillation, can be reduced when wearing compression garments. This leads to improved muscle endurance, strength and power.
	
2XU SUN PROTECTION
UPF50+. Through the fabric composition of Nylon and Lycra, our compression garments offer increased protection from harmful UV rays.

HEIGHTENED AGILITY
Heightened proprioception increases senses and awareness for enhanced stability and agility. Proprioception can also help with improved technique as you remain aware of your body's positioning, improving the balance control system and muscle coordination.
	
2XU MOISTURE MANAGEMENT
2XU Compression fabrics channel moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable.

REDUCED DAMAGE
2XU Compression features muscle containment properties which reduce muscle damage. By reducing muscle damage during exercise and minimizing swelling post-exercise, 2XU Compression can significantly reduce the severity and duration of exercise induced muscle injury and soreness such as Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).
	
2XU COMFORT
In all 2XU Compression garments, reinforced flat lock stitching is used to combine strength with comfort. Use of flat lock stitching helps reduce chaffing and enables the garments to be used in a variety of sports and activities where comfort is essential.

2XU GRADUATED PRESSURE
2XU's graduated compression technology delivers regulated pressure throughout our garments to deliver performance benefits during and post exercise. By enhancing circulation through increased venous function, more oxygenated blood is delivered to the muscles that need it most. At the same time, by-products created by exercise, such as lactic acid, are flushed from the muscles to reduce fatigue and decrease recovery time.
	
2XU MUSCLE STABILITY
During exercise, muscle vibration is a large contributor to muscle fatigue and damage. 2XU Compression stabilizes these muscles, enhancing power and reducing fatigue.

2XU MADE
Using our exclusive high performance fabric, 2XU Compression garments are engineered to fit tight, whilst maintaining comfort and allowing free range of movement during exercise and long periods of wear.
	
2XU CLIMATE
Through heightened circulation, 2XU Compression regulates your body temperature in both hot and cold conditions. Using and enhancing your body's natural cooling and heating mechanisms, 2XU Compression ensures you remain comfortable in a range of climates.

&lt;h2&gt;How Skins™ Work&lt;/h2&gt;Skins™ BioAcceleration Technology™ has been developed over years of scientific research. Ongoing testing of elite athletes have proven that Skins™ BioAcceleration Technology™ creates marked improvements in reducing the build-up of lactic acid immediately after periods of sustained exercise (2hrs and 15 mins up to 37% ), and allows for more rapid return to normal levels (up to 38% at 20 minutes). You experience less fatigue, minimise soreness and recover faster.

Skins™ is body-moulded compression performance equipment manufactured from the finest Lycra and Meryl Microfibre, scientifically engineered to provide support and muscle alignment to the smart-fabric covered area of your body. Skins™ will definitely change the way that you train and play as well as speed your recovery. You will feel fresher after heavy bouts of exercise and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) will be minimised.
Technology to perform

• BioAcceleration Technology™
Enhanced circulation from engineered gradient compression assists in reducing lactic acid build-up. Skins™ technical compression wear has been developed and designed to provide engineered gradient compression. When compression is engineered to apply a balanced and accurate surface pressure over specific body parts, it triggers an acceleration of blood flow. This increases oxygen delivery to working muscles to enhance their performance. The circulation improvements also help the body to eliminate lactic acid and other metabolic wastes. The combination of these effects allows you to work at a higher rate for longer.

• Skin»fit
A precision fit based on your body mass index (BMI) algorithm. Skins™ development of the correct compression is based on a body mass index (BMI) algorithm. A unique sizing system based on the algorithm allows us to customise and engineer gradient compression. By controlling the stretch and recovery of the fabric in conjunction with specifically developed pattern making techniques based on the sizing system, we are able to ensure the correct level of surface pressure for most body shapes. This is what truly sets Skins™ apart from the competition!
(See Sizing Chart Below to find your ideal fit.)

• Skin»muscle +
To focus muscle power and dramatically reduce muscle vibration. Skins™ performance equipment has been designed to wrap and support key muscle groups to reduce muscle movement and focus the direction of the muscle. The wrapping effect and specific compression also dramatically reduce muscle vibration resulting in less soft tissue damage and muscle soreness. The combination of muscle wrapping with BioAcceleration Technology™ is proven to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and accelerate recovery time.

• Skin»dry
Moisture management wicking draws moisture away from your skin keeping you dry. Moisture management wicking is inherent in Skins™ smart fabric which originates in the polymer producing stages of the fibre construction. This superior feature is independently tested and proven to actively draw moisture away from your skin to the surface layer where it evaporates more quickly to keep you dry.

• Skin»temp
Optimises your body temperature in warm and cool conditions. Skins™ unique smart fabric works to optimise your body temperature in both warm and cool conditions. The enhanced circulatory effect of the fabric warms your muscles quickly. The superior wicking properties and the large surface area of fabric close to your skin promotes evaporative cooling (the principle cooling mechanism of the body). This maintains body temperature more constantly, helping your body perform better for longer.

• Skin»fresh
Antibacterial and antimicrobial treatments discourage growth of bacteria and help prevent odour. Skins™ smart fabric has built in antibacterial and antimicrobial features, inherent in the polymer producing stage of the fibres. These properties, which cannot be washed out of the fabric, discourage the growth of bacteria by ionically absorbing odour causing substances, normally associated with Lycra wear.

• Skin»UVblock
SPF 50+. Skins™ smart fabric is independently tested and proven to provide 50+ UV protection from the sun. This means that you can enjoy outdoor exercise and activities without the concern of sun related risks.

Skins provides a precision fit based on your body mass index (BMI) algorithm and/or chest measurement. All you need is one or two basic measurements for the appropriate sizing.</div></description>

Moisture management wicking is inherent in Skins™ smart fabric which originates in the polymer producing stages of the fibre construction. This superior feature is independently tested and proven to actively draw moisture away from your skin to the surface layer where it evaporates more quickly to keep you dry.

• Skin»temp
Optimises your body temperature in warm and cool conditions. Skins™ unique smart fabric works to optimise your body temperature in both warm and cool conditions. The enhanced circulatory effect of the fabric warms your muscles quickly. The superior wicking properties and the large surface area of fabric close to your skin promotes evaporative cooling (the principle cooling mechanism of the body). This maintains body temperature more constantly, helping your body perform better for longer.

• Skin»fresh
Antibacterial and antimicrobial treatments discourage growth of bacteria and help prevent odour. Skins™ smart fabric has built in antibacterial and antimicrobial features, inherent in the polymer producing stage of the fibres. These properties, which cannot be washed out of the fabric, discourage the growth of bacteria by ionically absorbing odour causing substances, normally associated with Lycra wear.

• Skin»UVblock
SPF 50+. Skins™ smart fabric is independently tested and proven to provide 50+ UV protection from the sun. This means that you can enjoy outdoor exercise and activities without the concern of sun related risks.
