FAQs
Should I wear this underneath other clothes?
Yes, it is designed as a base layer to provide compression directly to your skin, though it can be worn as a standalone top.
Will this help with muscle recovery?
The compression design is intended to support muscle alignment and circulation, which can assist in reducing post-exercise fatigue.
Can I put this in the dryer?
No. Heat from a tumble dryer can destroy the elastic properties of the fabric, leading to a loss of compression.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the Polyamide and Elastane blend is designed to wick moisture away from the body to keep you cool and dry.
What is the benefit of the raglan sleeves?
Raglan sleeves provide more room in the shoulder area and reduce seams in the armpit, allowing for better mobility and less chafing.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels too tight or difficult to put on
This is normal for compression gear. Ensure you are pulling it on slowly rather than tugging, and smooth it over your skin to distribute the pressure evenly.
Fabric losing shape after several washes
Check your wash settings. Ensure you are using cold water and avoiding high-heat drying, which degrades the elasticity of the synthetic blend.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces muscle vibration and fatigue
- Excellent moisture-wicking properties
- Highly durable fabric blend
- Comfortable fit with non-chafing seams
Cons
- Compression fit feels very tight to beginners
- Requires careful washing to maintain elasticity
- Limited size range availability
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the maximum benefit from your Skins A200, ensure the garment fits snugly against the skin without being uncomfortably tight. Because compression gear relies on direct contact, it should be worn as a base layer underneath other athletic apparel or on its own.
To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the compression technology:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water.
- Use mild, non-bleach detergents.
- Do not tumble dry, as heat damages the Elastane fibers.
- Air dry flat in the shade to preserve the garment's shape and elasticity.
